From Fox News: Massachusetts Democratic Gov. Maura Healey says that her state police will “absolutely not” be cooperating with the expected mass deportation effort by the incoming Trump administration, warning that she will use “every tool in the toolbox” to “protect” residents in the blue state.
Healey was asked on MSNBC on Wednesday whether the Massachusetts State Police would assist the federal government in the mass deportation of illegal immigrants. President-elect Trump has pledged to launch the “largest domestic deportation operation in American history” to deport millions of illegal immigrants.
“Following the Eisenhower Model, we will carry out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history,” Trump said during the campaign.
“If the Trump administration requests it, would the Massachusetts state police assist in mass deportations?” the MSNBC host asked.
“No. Absolutely not,” Healy snapped, adding, “I do think it is important that we all recognize that there is going to be a lot of pressure on states and state officials. I can assure you we’re going to work hard to deliver.”
She then touted the likelihood of legal action, saying, “Some realities need to be noted and that is in 2016, we had a different situation in the courts, and I am sure there may be litigation ahead, there is a lot of other ways people are going to act and need to act for the sake of their states and residents. There’s regulatory authority and executive powers and the like, there’s legislation also within our state.”
“So I think the key here is that, you know, every tool in the tool box has got to be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents and protect our states and to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle,” the Democrat governor declared.
Healy, who is openly lesbian, was the Massachusetts Attorney General from 2015 to 2023, and has been governor of the state since January 2023.
In August 2023, Healey and her administration was slammed for announcing that the migrant shelters were full in Massachusetts, and asked for residents to open their homes to help house illegal aliens.
Watch the latest exchange below, as Healey vows to defy any efforts by the Trump administration to deport illegal aliens from her state.
