Last week, Boston received a letter from AG Bondi threatening to prosecute officials and withhold funds unless we cooperate with carrying out mass deportations. The US Attorney General asked for a response by today, so here it is: stop attacking our cities to hide your administration’s failures.

We will not yield.

This morning, I signed an Executive Order seeking greater transparency from ICE in response to secret police tactics we have seen. The City of Boston will regularly submit FOIA requests to DHS on federal immigration enforcement activity, to find out who they are detaining and arresting, and why.

This morning, we gathered in one of the most historic spaces in America to celebrate the life of one of the most consequential figures in American history—Congressman Barney Frank.

We’re combining forces to make sure every veteran in our community gets the help they need, when they need it. Thank you to Brighton Marine for committing one million dollars to a new public-private partnership with the City to support all of our communities–and especially our veterans.

At a time of unrelenting attacks on Black history and Black communities, the Museum of African American History in Boston stands as a pillar of truth and conscience for our city and our country.

As Boston Tech Week closed out last Sunday, we are also looking back to our Innovation Summit last month. Thanks again to Professor Edward Glaeser for co-hosting, and to all of the CEOs and senior industry leaders who came out to define the next chapter of Boston’s growth and innovation!

Join us on the Boston Pride Tour: a roadmap for exploring queer, trans, and nonbinary legacies across our city! Thank you so much to Club Cafe, Queer History Boston, and Dani’s Queer Bar for bringing us along for the ride.

No young person should have to choose between supporting their families and exploring their passions. In collaboration with partners across the City, Boston will support at least 2,000 learn-and-earn opportunities for high school students this school year.

Last Saturday night, Boston firefighter Bobby Kilduff, Jr. gave his life making sure his neighbors got another day. For nearly a quarter century, Bobby worked on Rescue 2, the company sent in to save firefighters in distress.

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 Boston is so proud to stand with our queer, trans, and nonbinary families, friends, and neighbors as we continue building a city that’s home for everyone.

Summer safety is a year-round mission and a citywide effort. Through collaboration between our communities, institutional partners, and city staff, we are working to support community health and wellness, affordable housing, access to childcare, and good-paying jobs.
