Boston Mayor Michelle Wu made headlines for her strong testimony in front of Congress, where she defended sanctuary city policies. The Mayor’s Office revealed that they have hired an external law firm, Cahill Gordon & Reindel, at a rate of $950 per hour, with an expected total cost of up to $650,000 for preparation related to the hearing and document requests. Wu faced tough questioning from Republican lawmakers but held her ground, emphasizing the need for comprehensive immigration reform and criticizing Congress for focusing on false narratives about immigrants. She used the opportunity to highlight the real issues affecting safety in cities, such as lack of gun control and funding cuts to essential services. Despite facing criticism from some representatives, Wu’s performance was widely praised, and she took to social media to share some of her key points. The Mayor’s defiance and outspoken advocacy for immigrant rights have solidified her position as a strong voice in national politics.
