Amy Carnevale, chair of the Massachusetts GOP provided a local perspective on immigration activity under the Trump administration, as well as local issues impacting state Republicans.

Carnevale was asked if the Massachusetts Republican Party supports the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles and other cities where protests against ICE arrests of immigrants are going on.

"I do think it's clear that voters last November voted to enforce our immigration laws, and I think that's something that the Republicans generally, and Massachusetts Republicans, even, support," Carnevale said. "That being said, we certainly have compassion for those individuals who have entered into our country and into our state seeking a better life, and so we do think that they should be addressed in a compassionate manner. But that being said, they did break the law coming in, and a majority of Americans do feel that our laws should be enforced but done so in a compassionate way."
