Today, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced that asylum seekers at the southern border will have to remain in Mexico while their case is being processed. The move is the latest hardline Trump policy that aims to discourage entry into the country, even for those seeking escape from political or gang persecution. 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. That lawsuit is just one of dozens of lawsuits her office has filed against the White House since Trump took office. 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. Jim Braude was joined by Attorney General Maura Healey.
