Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey (D) is drawing a line in the sand on potential mass deportations under a Trump administration, vowing to invoke “executive powers” to protect the state’s “citizens” and “residents.”

Healey, who dressed as Coach Tim Walz for Halloween last week, announced her resistance stance in an interview with MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.
“If the Trump administration requests it, would the Massachusetts State Police assist in mass deportations?” O’Donnell wondered.
“No. Absolutely not,” Healey replied.
That’s when she indicated she was buckling up for a fight to protect criminal illegal aliens from Trump’s plan to remove them from the country, a platform upon which he ran and which American voters, by a massive scale, delivered in the form of an Election Day mandate.

Trump vowed to begin mass deportations on “day one” if he were to win reelection.
“We have no choice,” he said. “And we’ll start with the bad ones.”
“They [illegal aliens] do come from prisons and mental institutions,” he said during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC).
“They’re killing our people. They’re killing our country. We have no choice!”

Healey, though, is not a big believer in upholding laws when it comes to illegal immigrants. And she’s citing “executive powers” as a tool to help shield those criminals.
“There’s a lot of other ways that people are going to act and need to act for the sake of their states and their residents,” she said. “There’s regulatory authority and executive powers and the like.”
“I think that the key here is that, ya know, every tool in the toolbox has gotta be used to protect our citizens, to protect our residents. And protect our states.”
Perhaps it would be helpful if Healey understood that illegal immigrants aren’t citizens. They aren’t residents. They are not here legally, and they do not belong in Massachusetts or the United States in general.
By protecting them, she is putting her actual citizens in danger.
In an incredible example of Healey living in a bizarro world, she indicates any effort to protect illegal immigrants is a measure to uphold the law.
She vows to use the aforementioned tools, “Certainly to hold the line on democracy and the rule of law as a basic principle, right?”
No. Wrong.
Healey, you may recall, once broke out the crocodile tears when she forced kids out of a rec center in Boston’s Roxbury neighborhood so it could be used to house illegal immigrants instead.

Speaking at a Zoom meeting to discuss the move, she fought back tears, thinking of the children she was forcing onto the streets.
“I get emotional, guys,” Healey said. “I’m committed to this.”
“Little kids need to be able to breathe clean air,” she continued. “They need to be able to access swimming pools. They need to have lifeguards there who can teach them how to swim, and they need to have activities. I don’t know what we’re going to do for a couple, three months. I’ll call universities, I’ll call other places.”

Healey was decidedly less emotional, though, when one of the illegal aliens in her state was arrested this past March for raping a 15-year-old disabled girl.
“It’s a horrible situation, a horrible allegation, and my thoughts are with the victim,” the Governor said at the time, before dismissing the fact that it was an illegal who committed the sexual assault.
“We have security and systems in place, we have vetting in place. It is unfortunate that, from time to time, things will happen, and as I say, anywhere, not just in shelters but anywhere.”

“Things will happen.”
Healey couldn’t have shrugged her shoulders any further without actually doing so if she tried.
Expect this trend to continue. More Democrat governors are going to hold press conferences as if they were updating their residents on a natural disaster situation to talk about how they plan to stop Hurricane Trump.
Remember, Democrats are more interested in protecting illegals than they are their actual citizens.
