If Congressional #Republicans were looking for a gotcha moment, #Boston’s Mayor #MichelleWu (D) didn’t give them one.
Wu emerged from the marathon 6hr #House #Oversight Cmte hearing unscathed, & managed to land quite a few hits of her own under aggressive questioning.
In her first time testifying before #Congress, #MayorWu stuck to her talking points, emphasized Boston’s strong public #safety record & argued…that the city’s #immigration policies boost #PublicSafety.
…#Republicans have already signaled that cities with policies like #Boston’s may lose federal #funding if they don’t change their approach.
“I don’t get to decide who comes into our country, & where they go after that,” Wu responded. “Our job is to keep people fed, & healthy, & safe when they arrive in our city. And we do that in order to make sure that everyone across our community is safe.”
