Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey is joining 16 other Democratic state AGs to oppose President Donald Trump's travel ban on visitors from seven Muslim-majority nations.
Healey is joining her counterparts from Pennsylvania and New York to co-author a legal brief arguing that the three states will suffer "concrete, immediate, and irreparable harms from the Executive Order.” The three are part of a larger effort by 16 states to join the initial challenge waged last week in a Seattle federal court by Washington state and Minnesota.
Earlier on Monday, Healey's office had indicated it might not join the Washington and Minnesota effort, saying it was focused on a federal lawsuit in Boston, since it affects two UMass professors here in Massachusetts.
