Gov. Maura Healey (D-MA) on Thursday introduced legislation that would make it unlawful for another state’s National Guard to be deployed to Massachusetts.
A news release from Healey’s office said the proposed restriction stems from President Donald Trump’s decision to send National Guard troops from other states into cities such as Chicago and Los Angeles despite opposition from local and state leaders.
“These deployments have drained resources, taken members of the Guard away from their day jobs, and have not made anyone safer,” the news release said. “Governor Healey is the Commander of the Massachusetts National Guard, and her legislation would make it unlawful for a military force under the control of another state’s Governor to enter Massachusetts without her permission.”
