The change follows in the footsteps of the administration’s family separation policy, which Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey challenged in court earlier this year.

On Thursday, she filed another case challenging a new Trump proposal that could allow offshore oil and natural gas drilling off the Bay State coast. Healey joined host Jim Braude to discuss the suit.
