Massachusetts (lesbian) Attorney General Maura Healey is suing President Trump over his controversial executive order on immigration that she said strikes at the state's “lifeblood” in barring workers and students vital to its universities, medical centers and technology firms.
“Because of our people we have truly become a global state and a global leader,” Healey said. “That’s just one reason why this executive order is such a threat — because it threatens the vitality, the livelihood, the lifeblood, that drives so much of Massachusetts.”
Healey's message to Trump: “No one is above the law.”
“Our job in government and here in the attorney general’s office is to make sure that we uphold the rule of law, that we uphold the tenets and the principle set forth in our state constitution and our United States Constitution,” Healey said. “The executive order is unconstitutional and must be struck down, and we need to be prepared at all turns to take action as an office when and if someone acts in ways that are unlawful or unconstitutional.
“Whether it the president of the United States or a federal agency … we will be prepared to take action,” Healey said.
Flanked by business leaders, education officials and directors from advocacy groups, the Democratic attorney general blasted Trump’s immigration order as “harmful, discriminatory and unconstitutional,” and announced that she’d join a federal lawsuit filed in Boston on Saturday against the measure.

Federal law and 65 years of rulings against a handful of Democrat toddlers.
Me-too attention whore.
She should check out https://www.bostonglobe.com/metro/2015/11/16/number-foreign-students-boston-surges/0rrwqyAoHbSjn6f7chxxMI/story.html and scroll down to ‘Top places of origin’ for Boston’s foreign student population.
Now as to Ms Healy’s purported lawsuit. It has long been my anecdotal evidence that the best and brightest H-1B participants have come from South Asia and not the Middle East. The Middle East is encumbered with the product of inbred tribalism mainly good for constructing IEDs but not IUDs.
Another AG in a deep blue state who’s only out for attention.
So she wants more Tsarniev types in her state, huh?
[Healey’s message to Trump: “No one is above the law.” ]
Unless you are a member of the connected political class.
Hypocrisy and projection.
She loves pressure cooker dishes I guess.
I love these stories because the give the names of the people selling out Americans!
She ought to be disbarred for filing such a frivolous lawsuit
The seven countries and their citizens were marked for special treatment because they lack effective governments (and high-quality domestic intelligence forces - i.e. secret police).
Saudi Arabia and Egypt have a pretty good idea who the bad people in their countries are.
Somebody tell her Trump can’t actually have her sent back to Austria ...
She’s a married lesbian hoping to be the next Governor.
Unfortunately so is the current Governor, Charlie Baker.
I expect Massachusetts to waste a lot of money
Maura Healey is a lesbian bitch!!!!
She is the worst of the worst!!!!
Mass has three witches in power in your State: Maura Healey, Elizabeth Warren, and Katherine Clark. Drain the swamp!!!!
Martha Coakley without the charm!
Actually, it say’s they’re going to sue Trump when in fact they aren’t suing Trump, the suing the U.S Federal government.
The progressives just trying to demonize and isolate Trump. I want him to hit back and hit back hard with their own lawfare.
Of course the group’s mentioned are wanting more refugees and illegals in the state. It means more taxpayer money for them.
What law is she talking about? Just curious.
