Maura Healey

And that, you know, I think about the men and women who are out there working hard every day to protect public safety, that the size of ICE's budget, it's insane.

You know, it's more than the grand total of all state and local law enforcement budgets combined in this country.

Right.

And to what end?

To terrorize our communities, to take mothers and fathers away from their kids, to disrupt local economies and our communities.

It's cruel, it's callous and it's not American.

It's not who we are.

You know.

I think all of us have listened to the rhetoric around attacking blue state governors or blue state mayors or what have you, but you know, I can't pay attention to that.

I got a job to do David.

And my job is to lead my state is to protect the health and wellbeing and the public safety of residents of Massachusetts is to protect Massachusetts.

And so, you know, uh, we've seen actions by the Trump administration,

that are threatening.

Look, I've got colleagues, governors who were the subject of criminal species, criminal investigation right now, because the Trump administration and President Trump is about retaliation and retribution for anyone who stands in his way.

And he's surrounded by people who are, I don't know, have sworn some sort of loyalty oath to him.

They forget about the constitution.

They forget about the rule of law.

They're ignoring all of that.

All the further, whatever,

their great leader wants.
