Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey said after President-elect Donald Trump’s victory in the White House race that police in her state will not help with “mass deportations.”

Governor Maura Healey said Wednesday that her administration is committed to protecting Massachusetts residents from the mass deportations of undocumented immigrants that President-elect Donald Trump has promised.

Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) said her state’s law enforcement will not assist in mass deportations if President-elect Trump follows though with such a plan. “No, absolutely not,” Healey told MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Wednesday when she was asked whether Massachusetts would assist if the Trump administration asked.

The governor promises that the state will stay the course, on policy and in terms of its fundamental character.
