In a statement to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/professor-reports-seeing-noose-behind-house-it-was-part-of-a-swing-set\/\" title=\"Professor Reports Seeing \u2018Noose\u2019 Behind House. It Was Part Of A Swing Set.\">local media outlet<\/a>, Wu expressed her uncertainty about any police department regularly wearing masks, suggesting the practice was more common among extremist groups. The DHS condemned her remarks as &#8220;sickening,&#8221; defending ICE officers who wear masks for their safety while conducting operations. The agency highlighted a significant increase in assaults on ICE officers and noted that recent operations in Boston resulted in the arrest of nearly 800 illegal immigrants with criminal records. The White House supported ICE&#8217;s actions, emphasizing their commitment to enforcing immigration laws even in so-called sanctuary cities like Boston, where Mayor Wu has pushed back against federal deportation efforts.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DHS slams Michelle Wu&rsquo;s &lsquo;sickening&rsquo; comparison of ICE agents to neo-Nazis<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2139370\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/boston\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\">Boston <\/a>Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/house\/3338071\/house-oversight-hearing-mayors-boston-new-york-denver-chicago-illegal-immigration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Michelle Wu\">Michelle Wu<\/a> drew the ire of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-homeland-security\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Department of Homeland Security<\/a> after she criticized <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/immigration\/3430845\/tom-homan-ice-opposition-democrats-someone-could-die\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement\">U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/a> agents for wearing masks.<\/p>\n<p>Wu told local outlet WCVB on Wednesday that she didn&rsquo;t know of &ldquo;any police department that routinely wears masks&rdquo; like ICE agents do.
