Maura Healey follows viral Trump tweet with federal lawsuit over immigration order

[sheshe2]

And now there are three...

"I don't wake up every day looking for a way to sue Donald Trump. But..."


Maura Healey is no President Donald Trump when it comes to social media.

Scrolling through the Massachusetts attorney general’s Twitter feed, her posts generally garner a few dozen retweets. But on Monday night, she fired off a missive that, by Tuesday afternoon, had been retweeted nearly 10,000 times.

I don't wake up every day looking for a way to sue Donald Trump. But we are 10 days in and I've filed three cases already.

7:25 PM - 30 Jan 2017

During a press conference Tuesday, Healey announced that Massachusetts was joining a federal lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Trump’s order, which temporarily banned all refugees and visitors from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States, in an attempt to shield the country from terrorism. The order also indefinitely blocks Syrian refugees from entering the country.


Standing with local education, business, and civil rights leaders Tuesday afternoon, Healey said the order, which resulted in widespread confusion and protest over the weekend, was “discriminatory” and “dangerous.” She also said that it harms the interest of Massachusetts’s local economic and educational institutions. In a statement Tuesday, Republican Gov. Charlie Baker said the attorney general had the full support of his administration.

As the State House News Service reported last week, Healey’s office has already filed three separate suits against the Trump administration related to consumer finance and environmental and higher education regulations.
