Mayor Michelle Wu has agreed to testify before Congress on Boston’s status as a sanctuary city as President Donald Trump’s administration takes aim at places that have declined to cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu says she does plan to testify before a congressional committee that says it's investigating several places it calls "sanctuary cities."

Mayor Michelle Wu will no doubt come up with some lame excuse for not testifying before Congress next month – maternity leave, racism, sexism, panic attack or some other equally bogus reason.

Mayor Michelle Wu said Monday she plans to cooperate with a request to testify at a Congressional hearing as part of a federal investigation into sanctuary cities.

Mayor Michelle Wu is weighing how to respond to a call from congressional Republicans for her and other Democratic mayors to testify on Capitol Hill over their local immigration policies.

In a statement, a city spokesperson said, “We are proud that Boston is the safest major city in the United States. We have received the letter and are reviewing it.”
