ICE agents stormed the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard and arrested 40 illegal immigrants - but a blue state governor slammed the effort as 'disturbing.' Immigration agents successfully apprehended at least one MS-13 gang member and one child sex offender during the bust, according Boston acting Field Office Director Patricia Hyde. 'ICE and our federal partners made a strong stand for prioritizing public safety by arresting and removing illegal aliens from our New England neighborhoods,' she said. 'Operations like this highlight the strong alliances that ICE shares with our fellow law enforcement partners.' Even White House press secretary Karoline...

Massachusetts Democratic Governor Maura Healey is sounding off about her frustrations with ICE’s latest operations in her state, saying she found it "disturbing" to hear about the arrests of some 40 illegal immigrants in Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard.

For years, I have written about Gov. Maura Healey blocking the construction of more natural gas pipelines in Massachusetts that would increase our supplies and reduce costs. As attorney general, one of her first acts was to commission a study by a greeny organization that predictably downplayed the need for more capacity, despite 33 other studies, including one by Gov. Deval Patrick, that all concluded the Commonwealth had a major problem. Now the chickens have finally come home to roost with exorbitant bills hitting rate payers. It was the most predictable, most easily-prevented disaster ever. Trying to avoid responsibility, Healey...

Homan Obliterates Him Promising "I'm Coming To Boston and I'm Bringing Hell With Me!"

During the last four years, Massachusetts has been overwhelmed by the migrant surge coming across the southern border. Last year, Gov. Maura Healey declared a state of emergency, citing the rapid increase in migrant families seeking shelter and the state’s inability to adequately accommodate them. Before the November 5th election, Healey was sending top deputies to the southern border to deliver a message that Massachusetts had no more vacancies... Two years of unrelenting waves of migrants continue to cost Massachusetts taxpayers between $1 and $2 billion annually – with no end in sight.... Yet when relief is being offered, Massachusetts...

Tania Fernandes Anderson has only two options left if she wants to beat the rap. First, she could go down to the courthouse and change her last name to “Biden” – in which case, a pardon is guaranteed, automatic. Second, she could renounce her recent naturalization as a US citizen and declare herself to be an illegal alien again – in which case, not only is she immune from prosecution from any crime, but she will also be given police protection from the G-men by Gov. Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu. And she could also go back on welfare....

oston City Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson was arrested today by the feds on public corruption charges that saw her allegedly “embrace a culture of cashing in” by stealing thousands from taxpayers in an “egregious” kickback scheme at City Hall — allegations that have the mayor calling for her resignation. Fernandes Anderson, 45, was indicted on five counts of aiding and abetting wire fraud and one count of aiding and abetting theft concerning a program receiving federal funds, according to court records and a publicly available indictment. She is set to be arraigned at the Boston federal courthouse on Friday at...

Boston’s Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu said in an interview on Sunday that her city won’t cooperate with the looming mass deportation operation from the incoming Trump administration — even as the region sees a number of illegal immigrants with criminal charges released back onto the streets. Wu was asked in an interview with WCVB about the Trump administration’s plans to launch a mass deportation operation when it takes office in January, and was asked what Boston’s response will be. “Elections have consequences, and the federal government is responsible for a certain set of actions, and cities, no individual city, can...

In a sudden turn of events, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey signed an emergency preamble to the state’s latest gun reform bill, making it effective immediately. This action has sparked significant debate and frustration from gun owners, advocates, and legal experts across the state. The law went into action without any delay. Let’s break down the key elements of this move and the reactions it has triggered from various sides. Governor Healey signed the gun reform bill earlier this summer, but in a private decision made this October, she invoked an emergency preamble to accelerate the law’s implementation. Healey stated that...

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) has called on President Biden to “carefully evaluate” his candidacy as concerns about his ability to win the election persist, despite his team insisting he won’t step aside. In a statement obtained by NBC News, Healey said Biden saved democracy by winning the 2020 election, and that this year’s is “the most important election of our lifetimes.” Healey was one of several Democratic governors to meet with the president Wednesday evening to discuss the future of the party after his lackluster debate performance a week prior that left many of his supporters in a panic....

As the border crisis continues to worsen, it almost seems like each week brings another tragedy to light illustrating the impact that the problem is having on American citizens. Just weeks after the murder of Laken Riley at the hands of an illegal immigrant, another story out of Massachusetts has people wondering when the government will finally do something about the problem at the southern border.A Haitian migrant was arrested for raping a 15-year-old girl at one of the hotels being used to shelter illegal immigrants and asylum seekers coming over the border. Gov. Maura Healey, a Democrat, chimed in...

Homeless families already in emergency shelters, including migrants from other countries, may be eligible for a state-run program that provides up to $30,000 over two years to find stable housing. The program, HomeBASE, has long served homeless families with children or pregnant women living in the emergency shelter system, which provides temporary housing under state’s decades-old right-to-shelter law. About half of the shelter system houses Massachusetts residents, according to state officials. Resettlement agencies are also working with Gov. Maura Healey’s administration to stand up a pilot program that would, according to one draft plan, help up to 400 migrants in...

Massachusetts Republicans painted a bleak picture Wednesday night of a state spending billions on shelters, tax revenues in decline,residents fleeing for other parts of the country,and a lackluster education system for students. Sen. Peter Durant,a Spencer Republican, offered the stark and dark portrait of Massachusetts in response to Gov. Maura Healey’s State of the Commonwealth address, which cast the state as having a “strong” economy and made clear some of the governor’s spending goals in the fiscal year 2025 budget. But Durant invoked immigration,education, housing, efforts to fight climate change, and underperforming revenues as sore points on Beacon Hill that...

Gov. Maura Healey on Wednesday proposed using nearly $300 million in one-time funds to infuse the state’s strained emergency assistance shelter system, as Massachusetts works to assist a record number of people in need. “As you know, the demand for emergency shelter by families experiencing homelessness in Massachusetts continues to increase in part as a result of migrant families arriving in Massachusetts and lack of federal action,” Healey wrote in a filing letter to lawmakers. The state is currently housing more than 6,300 families in shelters, hotels, motels and other sites, an increase of more than 60 percent from when...

“Boston has become a little bit of a target in terms of culture wars and white supremacist action,” Mayor Michelle Wu claimed. “We represent what progress looks like.” In a municipality where Biden won 82% of the vote and the city council includes an African Muslim woman in a hijab, the first “Afro-Latina” and the first “Haitian-American,” but only a minority of white Irish politicians terrified of being canceled, where is this threat coming from? Despite that, the Harvard Law grad who is married to a white banker has blamed all her problems on white people. “I’m getting used to...

Gov. Maura Healey tore into Ron DeSantis, saying the Florida leader’s stances on education have been “really shameful,” particularly his controversial “Don’t Say Gay” law, which the nation’s first openly-lesbian governor described as nonsense. In a Thursday interview on GBH’s Boston Public Radio, Healey said she would support Democrat President Joe Biden if he were to run for another term. She also characterized Gov. DeSantis, a possible 2024 Republican presidential candidate, as someone who wants to take the country “backwards.” “The idea of punishing, you know, punishing people for some of the things that he talks about,” Healey said. “This...

You’d almost think, based on the media coverage in Boston, that the Messiah had showed up in the Massachusetts State House to be inaugurated as governor, not Maura Healey. Despite the inability of Supreme Court Justice Brown Jackson to be sure what a woman is, the media are trumpeting the “Historic Day” and just can’t stop congratulating Bay State voters on their wisdom in electing her, with extra special bonus points for her being a lesbian. These screengrabs from WBZ-TV, CBS Boston complete with "Historic Day" plastered over the video and smug grins from the talking heads express the masturbatory...
