The mayor of Boston has promised to defy president-elect Donald Trump's mass deportation efforts in 'every possible way'.

Mayor Michelle Wu has said that the city will continue to protect immigrants under the threat of deportation.

'Elections have consequences, and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions, and cities - no individual city - can reverse or override some parts of that,' Wu said on WCVB.

She cited Boston's status as a sanctuary city under the Trust Act passed in 2014.

This act limits cooperation with some federal immigration laws and prohibits Boston police, and other city departments, from cooperating with ICE. The Trust Act does allow for cooperation in criminal matters.

As Trump's mass deportation threats loom, towns across Massachusetts have reaffirmed that commitments to remaining sanctuary cities.

'We want immigrants to know that it is safe for everyone to be able to feel comfortable reaching out for emergency services, to report a crime, to ask for help, and generally, to be part of our community,' Wu said.

Did you think we would stop resisting Trumpkins? You will see resistance the likes of which you have never seen yet. We will defeat you.
