Quote of the Day
“I don't know what the fixation is, to be quite honest. We're a very safe state," Healey told reporters in a State House hallway Tuesday afternoon when asked about her perspective on Homan's visit. "We're not a sanctuary state. Local, state and federal law enforcement continue to work with and partner with one another.”
Healey decried Trump administration border czar Tom Homan's "fixation" on Massachusetts on Tuesday.
