Department Of Homeland Security Launches Patriot 2.0 In Massachusetts

"No Boston police or local resources will be co-opted into federal immigration enforcement and their mass deportation agenda," Wu said.

The Department of Homeland Security is launching what they refer to as Patriot 2.o.

The program aims to target “the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens living in the state of Massachusetts, following the success of Operation Patriot in May.”

The Boston crackdown involves “ICE arresting sex offenders, pedophiles, murderers, drug dealers, and gang members released by local authorities.”

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu has expressed opposing concerns. “No Boston police or local resources will be co-opted into federal immigration enforcement and their mass deportation agenda,” Wu said.

The move comes just days before the Trump administration was expected to start an immigration crackdown in Chicago.
