The endorsement is the first time in more than 30 years that the city's largest police union has supported a Boston mayor for reelection, the union said.

A war of words has brewed between the Trump administration's border czar Tom Homan, Boston police Commissioner Michael Cox, and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.

The attack comes as Wu prepared to defend the city's approach to immigration enforcement before Congress next week.

Days after a public spat with federal officials, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu sought to reassure immigrant residents about Boston’s welcoming immigration policies on Spanish-language radio Tuesday morning, ahead of her scheduled appearance in March before Congress to testify about the city’s approach to immigration enforcement.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu is kicking off her campaign for re-election with a strong lead over her opponent Josh Kraft, according to an Emerson College poll released Thursday.

This isn't the first time Michelle Wu and President Trump's border czar Tom Homan have clashed over immigration issues.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu defended the city's police commissioner after criticism from a Trump administration official on immigration.

The city’s largest police union, the Boston Police Patrolmen’s Association, plans to formally endorse Mayor Michelle Wu later this week in her re-election bid, according to two sources close to the matter.
