ICE posted a market-research notice in late July seeking sources for 249 contiguous parking spaces in Boston near existing or planned facilities.
Wu confirmed the city will submit another FOIA request specifically for any Boston-area responses so officials know who replied.
She said the city cannot block private property but will reach out to those owners to tell them the arrangement is dangerous and does not make the community safer.
Boston already bars ICE from using city-owned property without a warrant under an earlier executive order.
DHS called the move an attempt to intimidate residents who have every legal right to do business with the agency.
As an added bonus to those who did the right thing in leasing to ICE agents…
Now you will be able to sue The City of Boston for weaponized administrative actions. It's unconstitutional and you will make millions!!
