Boston Mayor Michele Wu said she's ready to testify before a congressional panel​ on Wednesday despite Republican lawmakers already pushing out videos that indicate questions will have an aggressive tone.

Mayor Michelle Wu “expects to pay” up to $650,000 to prepare for tomorrow’s congressional hearing on sanctuary cities, the mayor’s office told the Herald.

When Mayor Wu goes to Washington, D.C, to defend Boston's status as a "sanctuary city," she will be articulating a moral argument, not a political one, argues one letter writer.
