Healey Blasts Trump’s D.C. Crime Crackdown as ‘Boneheaded’

Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey never seems to tire of being out of step with reality. She misread the public's sentiment on the southern border, resulting in a multi-billion-dollar migrant crisis in Massachusetts, and now Healey is doing the same by criticizing President Donald Trump's effort to eradicate crime from the nation's capital.

While Trump was in Texas trying to figure out how to build the border wall to end runaway illegal entries, Healey was in Tijuana essentially telling folks how to get here.

In 2019, then-Massachusetts Attorney General Healey was in Mexico, where she referred to Trump's border security plans as "injustices," "heart-wrenching" and "absolutely un-American."

Healey was wrong, as Trump's successful border control policies in his second term have reduced illegal entries to a trickle and are very popular with voters. She changed her tune in May, saying, "Some of what Trump has done on the border makes a lot of sense."

Healey was also wrong when she slammed the Department of Homeland Security, ICE and Trump border czar Tom Homan when they began rounding up criminal illegal aliens in Massachusetts.

"They've just gone too far in terms of the issue of immigration, and that's creating incredible fear in the community and causing a lot of heartache and anxiety," Healey said in May. Later, Healey sought a meeting with Homan.

Healey is wrong again in attacking Trump's crackdown on violent criminals in Washington, D.C.

Boston's WHDH-TV reported Healey referred to Trump's focus on D.C. as "another boneheaded move by the administration."

"National guardsmen have full-time jobs, so you're taking people away from their day jobs – as police officers, as firefighters, working elsewhere – and you're putting them into a city that doesn't need the help, didn't request the help, and crime's going down in D.C.," Healey said.

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund disagrees with Healey's assessment, telling Breitbart News that after a decline between 2023 and 2024, crime is "still significant - double what we had in around 2010."

D.C. Police Union President Gregg Pemberton told CBS affiliate WUSA 9, "We stand with the President in recognizing that Washington, D.C. cannot continue on this trajectory."

"Crime is out of control, and our officers are stretched beyond their limits," Pemberton said.

I guess Gov. Healey is wrong again.
