Former president of the United States, Donald Trump, is one of the most frequent targets of AG Healey. It should be remembered that she joined dozens of lawsuits against the Republican while he was president.

One of her first challenges was Trump’s travel ban, which prevented teachers and students from seven Muslim-majority countries, including Iran, Iraq and Syria, from coming to Massachusetts, which draws students from around the world. Filed Under: Maura Healey Democratic Primary
