Trump's executive order against birthright citizenship faces several legal battles in the courts. Ending birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants has become a central focus of the administration's hard-line immigration agenda.

As Donald Trump was sworn in as the 47th President of the United States, Massachusetts’ representatives in Congress were quick to warn their constituents about his second term.

Healey’s travel in 2024 included a stretch in which she visited or was traveling to other states on 28 of the 80 days from the day she left Massachusetts for the Democratic National Convention in mid-August through Election Day on Nov.

Trump's raft of executive orders drew swift condemnation and vows to fight from Massachusetts environmental and civil-liberties advocates.

The Democratic governor’s second State of the Commonwealth address comes at roughly the halfway point of her term in the Corner Office.

The governor’s speech was laced with references to the American Revolution as the state gears up to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord this spring. A tribute to President John F. Kennedy came late in Healey’s remarks.

"Birthright citizenship in our country is a guarantee of equality, born out of a collective fight against oppression," Attorney General Andrea J. Campbell said in a statement.

Two Pennsylvania brothers arrested for their role in the riots were released in Washington, D.C. on Monday night.

California sued Trump's first administration 123 times. Trump lost two-thirds of those cases, but experts warn that California could have a tougher go this time.

Trump signed the order hours after taking office on Monday. It directed federal agencies to halt recognition of citizenship for children born after Feb 19, 2025, to mothers who are either undocumented or legally present on temporary visas if the father is neither a US citizen nor a permanent resident.
