Boston Mayor Michelle Wu struck a defiant tone against the federal scrutiny that’s fallen on the Hub in recent weeks and months since President Donald Trump has taken office during her State of the City address.

Boston is not a city that tolerates tyranny. We are the city that leads in the storm; that stands up under pressure, together; and finds strength in each other. We will defend the people we love with all that we’ve got.

Wu made the case that the future of Boston is bright under her leadership on Wednesday, a key opportunity for her to pitch her vision for the city to voters as she seeks reelection this year.
