Boston whistleblower warns of migrant crime spillover as Trump's crackdown looms

"The Healey hotels were well known for having sex trafficking, domestic violence. We've reported cases of rape, unfortunately, in there," Fetherston said. "Now, you've opened it up to all of the cities and towns in Massachusetts."

In response, Fetherston said, "How the governor just wants the public to believe that all of these things will not happen is extremely naive and extremely dangerous."

"Governor Healey wants you to think she just snaps her fingers and closes all of the hotels and then disperses people into the communities that the thousand incidents that were reported back in 2024, and the state has refused to release the data for 2025, she just thinks that those serious instances aren't going to happen in the communities that now she's forced people into."

"Your eyes tell you all you need to know. Crime is on an uptick in Boston. Things are not good in Boston," he said. "Boston was once a great city. It is no longer a great city. It is a city that with open drug use, the crime rates have spiked."

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, also a Democrat, has rejected the Trump administration's efforts to crack down on illegal immigrant crime or to send the National Guard to the city.

Wu has said, "In Boston, we comply and follow all of the laws, city, state and federal. And we will not back down from communities that have made us the safest major city in the country."

Wu has also commented, "This is a beautiful, diverse, incredible city, and I have said it now very directly, this administration needs to stop attacking cities to hide their own failures." 

To Fetherston, an increased ICE presence would be welcome, while Wu's resistance is indefensible.

"How any elected official could not put public safety as the biggest priority of any job that they do, it's disgusting to me and it's very concerning," he said, adding, "Mayor Wu wants to tell you that Boston is one of the safest cities. No, your eyes tell you that Boston has in great decline."

"If you don't want that as an elected official, I don't want you as my elected official," he said.

Fox News Digital reached out to the offices of Healey and Wu but did not immediately receive a response. 

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson commented on Healey and Wu's resistance by saying, "If these Democrats focused on fixing crime in their own cities instead of doing publicity stunts to criticize the President, their communities would be much safer."

Bowser's office declined to comment further, referring Fox News Digital to the mayor's prior statements.
