​Walsh rails against Trump, calls immigration actions ‘direct attack’
By Meghan E. Irons and Cristela Guerra 
Boston Globe  Jan 25, 2017
In some of his strongest comments yet, Mayor Martin J. Walsh lambasted President Donald Trump’s threats to pull federal funding to sanctuary cities and pledged Wednesday to shelter undocumented immigrants at City Hall as a last resort.
“If people want to live here, they’ll live here. They can use my office. They can use any office in this building,’’ Walsh said at a Wednesday press conference at City Hall moments after Trump vowed to crack down on immigrants.
In a show of defiance, Walsh — flanked by black, Latino, and Asian staff members and elected officials at the City Hall event — responded strongly following Trump’s press conference in Washington, D.C., in which the president signed executive orders aimed to clamp down on illegal immigration.
“Washington is advancing the most destructive and un-American threat on America during the campaign,’’ Walsh said. “The latest executive orders and statements by the president are a direct attack on Boston’s people, Boston’s strength and Boston’s values.”

Sign UpThe mayor vowed to use all of his power within lawful means to protect Boston residents, even if that means using City Hall as a shelter.
“We will not be intimidated by a threat to federal funding. . . we will not retreat one inch,” Walsh said. “To anyone who feels threatened or vulnerable, you are safe in Boston.”
Although Boston offers refuge to undocumented immigrants, it is not technically called a sanctuary city, a title used by other municipalities, including Somerville.
Boston’s version of the 2014 Trust Act assures undocumented immigrants that the city’s police would not report them to federal authorities and is intended to keep local officers out of the business of deportation. Councilors have said the measure would ensure that immigrants see police as people who can help them and not as a threat.
At his press conference, the mayor repeated much of what he has previously said during the presidential campaign as Trump railed against unauthorized immigrants – even under the threat of diminished federal funding.
Walsh vowed to fight for residents, “whether immigrant or not” and provide the best quality of life for all Bostonians.
Walsh lauded Boston and the nation as being built on immigrant contributions. Nearly a third of the city’s residents are immigrants and nearly a half have at least one foreign-born parent, he added.
He also pulled out a letter that he said was from a 7-year-old boy that Walsh said he has been carrying around for two and a half months. The boy’s mother is undocumented, and he expressed fear that under a Trump presidency she would be deported, Walsh said.
“Dear Mr. Walsh, I am thankful for you because you protect our city from a mad man and you would make me and my family feel safe,’’ the mayor read.
City Councilor Tito Jackson — Walsh’s top opponent so far in this year’s mayoral race — also spoke out against Trump’s actions, saying he categorically rejects that the President has the right to tell Boston how to treat and take care of its residents.
“It’s very very unfortunate that we have a president who is not willing to lead on immigration but is focused on breaking up families and communities,’’ said Jackson, whose district includes Roxbury. “Boston is a sanctuary city and we will stay a sanctuary city. We will ensure our police are used to protect people and ensure our immigrant communities are safe.”
Jackson said the city will ensure that registries of immigrants do not go forward, young undocumented immigrants go to school, and victims of crime are able to call police without fear.
“That is who we are in this city,’’ the councilor said.
