Just weeks after declaring a state of emergency over the influx of illegal immigrants to her state, Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey on Sept. 13 officially deployed National Guard members in “rapid response teams” to help with illegal immigrant shelters.

About 250 National Guard members were being deployed at motels and hotels to give medical access, transportation, and meals to illegal immigrants, Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll told reporters on Sept. 12.
