Massachusetts to Resist Trump's Deportation Efforts

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has firmly stated that the state will not assist in President-elect Donald Trump's proposed mass deportation efforts. Healey emphasized that the Massachusetts State Police will not be involved in the deportations and stressed the importance of protecting the state's residents and upholding democracy and the rule of law. Despite Trump's campaign promises to deport millions of undocumented immigrants, Healey and other state officials plan to use all available legal and regulatory tools to resist federal pressure. This stance aligns with Massachusetts' history as a sanctuary state, where local laws limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement. The situation recalls similar resistance during Trump's previous presidency when local leaders, including then-Mayor Martin J. Walsh, voiced opposition to federal immigration policies. Trump's mass deportation plan is expected to face significant legal challenges and opposition from Democratic governors across the country.
