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

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As Democratic leaders in Massachusetts triple down on resistance against federal intervention to clamp down on crime, a migrant shelter whistleblower is sounding the alarm about an increase in crime in neighborhoods across the state and especially in Boston.
Jon Fetherston, who ran one of the state-funded migrant shelters in Marlborough, Massachusetts, and blew the whistle about rampant crime and sex abuse taking place in the hotel shelter system. He now says that since Democratic Gov. Maura Healey closed down the shelter system, there has been an uptick in domestic violence, sex trafficking, shoplifting and even auto accidents.
«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.»

This comes as Healey has pushed back against the Trump administration’s federal crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., and preemptively criticized any intervention in Boston as «political theater.»
«More political power grabs from Donald Trump,» Healey wrote in a statement posted to X, adding, «We don’t need or want his interference here.»
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.»
Referencing the high-profile case of illegal immigrant Harjinder Singh allegedly causing an auto accident in Florida that killed three, Fetherston said, «you’ve seen the national stories of unlicensed or illegals with driver’s licenses and CDLs. I haven’t seen that, but I’ve seen a tremendous uptick in car accidents.»

Fetherston said that Boston has been particularly impacted by the rise in crime.
«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.»
In response, Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons has vowed to «flood» Boston with federal agents.

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.»
Regarding threats by the Trump administration and Homeland Security to intervene in Boston and Massachusetts, Fetherston said he believes that «anybody who lives in a crime-ridden area, which there are a lot in Massachusetts, will appreciate the effect of it.»
«I’ve talked to business owners, I’ve talk to local law enforcement, anybody who wants to have a sensible conversation about fixing crime in their community, they support what the president’s doing and wants to do,» he explained. «Yeah, some people probably don’t like the optics because maybe they don’t understand it. And the media is doing, in my opinion, doing a bad job of describing it. Tanks are not rolling down people’s streets. The National Guard’s not walking with guns into your backyard and stuff like that. We’re just there to protect and serve, and that’s what your local police does.»
«If you don’t want that as an elected official, I don’t want you as my elected official,» he said.

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.»
«Cracking down on crime should not be a partisan issue, but Democrats suffering from TDS [Trump Derangement Syndrome] are trying to make it one,» she went on, adding, «They should listen to fellow Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser who recently celebrated the Trump Administration’s success in driving down violent crime in Washington DC.»
Bowser’s office declined to comment further, referring Fox News Digital to the mayor’s prior statements.

Reporter’s Notebook : A ‘Letter’ To Zelesnkyy Re The Peace Plan

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Having covered Ukraine … and Russia … for over three decades, especially the war between the two countries for the last several years, I’ve naturally been fascinated by the latest Trump administration effort to broker peace.
The reaction I’ve been getting from contacts in Ukraine to the 28-point plan to end the war is not all that positive.
«It’s not worth the paper it’s written on,» said one observer.
«Any deal would have to include Ukraine…and Europe,» noted another.
The overall consensus of analysts is that the document is slanted heavily towards Moscow. The man at the center of things, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has been diplomatic in various statements, basically saying he’s «reviewing the points» aiming at arriving at a «dignified peace.»
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy meets with Fox News correspondent Greg Palkot in Kyiv, Ukraine, in April 2024, during coverage of the ongoing war with Russia. (Fox News)
US AND RUSSIA DRAFT PEACE PLAN FOR UKRAINE REQUIRING MAJOR CONCESSIONS FROM KYIV
There are all sorts of talks happening now between the U.S. and Ukraine and among European leaders. We’re even hearing from Russian President Vladmimir Putin. It’s no wonder: The stakes in this war for Europe and the world are enormous. If I were to send a quick note to Zelenskyy, it would go something like this:
Dear Volodymyr,
So far so good. You haven’t freaked out, and you’re promising to engage. Rejection of this plan out of hand would have been a non-starter.
TRUMP, ZELENSKYY AGREE ON CRUCIAL ASPECT TO END UKRAINE WAR: ‘GOOD COMPROMISE’
You’re staying cool (though a bit grim and determined), and you’re talking to people.
My overall advice is … pick your fights, don’t sweat the small stuff, and keep the big picture in mind.
I know what your country is going through. Every time I’m in Kyiv, I go to the same military cemetery outside the city, and it keeps getting bigger and bigger and sadder.
TRUMP’S FIRE FADES ON RUSSIA AS HE PULLS TROOPS, AVOIDS PRESSING XI ON OIL
So, as to the points of the plan: There are a lot easy «gimmes» to Russia. Re-joining the G-8. Gradual dropping of sanctions. Granting of amnesty for everything Russian troops have done. I know this stuff is going to stick in your craw, but little of it affects your country’s future.

I mentioned that you shouldn’t «sweat the small stuff.» Some of the points might sound like a big deal. Like prohibiting «Nazi ideology» in Ukraine. And adopting «EU rules on religious tolerance and linguistic minorities.» That’s pretty much window-dressing for Moscow. Having the Russian language and Russian church regain official status is not horrendous.
In fact, the plan’s glass is at least one-third full for you guys. Confirming your sovereignty. Russia expected not to invade you again. You will receive reliable security guarantees. Rebuilding pledges and humanitarian promises. They are all good. Just nail down the specifics. Get all sides to commit for sure.
COULD TRUMP’S GAZA CEASEFIRE PLAN OFFER A BLUEPRINT FOR PEACE IN UKRAINE?
Now to three of the points which cross, according to analysts, your red line.
Like handing over the rest of the eastern Donetsk region to Russia even though Moscow’s troops haven’t even taken it. The region is referred to as a demilitarized zone in the plan. A «DMZ» ala the divider between North and South Korea. Well, hold them to that. No troops from either side. Tough security on both sides. A neutral body running things. And see if you can get them to not call it Russian!
Then there’s the reduction by a third of your military. Troop strength limited to 600,000. That’s a huge cut, but it’s still not a bad-sized force. That is if…it was properly trained, well-armed, and finely-positioned. Guarantees are needed for all of this to happen.

ZELENSKYY WARNS UKRAINE FACES ‘DIFFICULT CHOICE’ AS US PEACE PLAN HITS MAJOR HURDLE
And then there’s the other red line : No NATO troops in Ukraine. That would seem to scupper the plan to have foreign peace-keepers on the ground, which has been in the works, to monitor the peace. A possible compromise? They’re stationed around Ukraine’s borders, surveillance keeps a close eye on things and rapid-response forces are at the ready.
There are also a few gimmes for the U.S. in all this, like sharing in the profits of reconstruction. But that’s the price of doing business with President Trump.
As for that Thanksgiving deadline to sign the deal? The president has already signaled he’s willing to let that slide if there’s talking.
And that other deadline? One-hundred days until a new election? I know it’s a tough time for you politically with those corruption charges getting near. It might be something you have to live with.
Anyway, for what it’s worth, that’s my take.
Negotiations will probably sink on any hard discussion of any of these main points. But you know what the old adage is : «jaw-jaw» is better than «war-war.»
For the proud people of Ukraine, who have suffered so much during this time, it’s worth your best shot.

FAA warns airlines about flying over Venezuela: ‘Potentially hazardous situation’

Trump renews pressure against Venezuela’s Maduro
Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson and Rep. María Salazar, R-Fla., join ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss President Donald Trump’s increased military pressure on Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and an upcoming Capitol Hill vote to condemn socialism.

The Federal Aviation Administration warned airlines about flying over Venezuela as it issued a notice urging them to «exercise caution» due to the «potentially hazardous situation» in the region.
The advisory comes as the U.S. has significantly increased its military presence across the Caribbean under U.S. Southern Command, deploying bombers, warships and Marines as part of an expanded campaign targeting drug-trafficking and so-called «narco-terrorist» networks operating near Venezuela.
«Operators are advised to exercise caution when operating in the Maiquetia flight information region at all altitudes due to the worsening security situation and heightened military activity in or around Venezuela,» the FAA advisory said.
«Threats could pose a potential risk to aircraft at all altitudes, including during overflight, the arrival and departure phases of flight, and/or airports and aircraft on the ground,» it added, requesting airlines to provide at least 72-hour advance notice to the FAA if they plan to fly through the area.

Direct flights from U.S. passenger and cargo carriers to Venezuela have been suspended since 2019, but some airlines still fly over the country on their South American routes, according to Reuters.
It added that American Airlines said Friday it stopped flying over Venezuela in October, while Delta Air Lines said it stopped «a while ago.»

«Since September 2025, there has been an increase in Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) interference in the Maiquetia Flight Information Region (SVZM FIR), as well as activity associated with increasing Venezuela military readiness,» the FAA also said.
«Some civil aircraft recently reported GNSS interference while transiting the SVZM FIR, which, in some cases, caused lingering effects throughout the flight. GNSS jammers and spoofers can affect aircraft out to 250 nautical miles and can impact a wide variety of critical communication, navigation, surveillance, and safety equipment on aircraft,» the FAA continued.

«Additionally, since early September, Venezuela has conducted multiple military exercises and directed the mass mobilization of thousands of military and reserve forces. While Venezuela has at no point expressed an intent to target civil aviation, the Venezuelan military possesses advanced fighter aircraft and multiple weapons systems capable of reaching or exceeding civil aircraft operating altitudes, as well as potential low-altitude risk from man-portable air defense systems and anti-aircraft artillery,» it also warned.
