Illegal Immigrant Suspect in Murder of Massachusetts Restaurant Owner Puts Gov. Healey in Hot Seat
“@MassGovernor’s billion dollar migrant mess just got someone killed.”
Mike wrote a couple of weeks ago about how Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey (D) seemingly had a change of heart over the issue of illegal immigrants in the Bay State.
It was, of course, interestingly timed, coming just days after President Donald Trump took office and immediately made it clear that the roundups of illegal immigrants with violent criminal histories would resume under his administration without delay.
“I wouldn’t describe them as raids,” Healey proclaimed in response to arrests that took place in East Boston, per WCVB.
“What it seems to be, and what we expected and what I support, which is the apprehension of criminals in our communities,” she also said, while declaring later that her state was not a sanctuary state.
As Mike noted in his report, the comments were in sharp contrast to the Resistance™ statement she made the night of Trump’s re-election:
Massachusetts Governor says she will use ‘executive power’ to stop Trump from deporting criminal aliens

Nearly a week after Healey took the tough-on-crime tone on illegal immigrants, she announced she is running for reelection in 2026:
“When [Lt. Gov. Kim Driscoll] and I started, we laid out in our inaugural address things that we wanted to do. We wanted to get after housing, and we wanted to get after transportation, we wanted to cut taxes, we wanted to make investments in education,” Healey said on GBH Radio on Friday. “And I feel like we’ve done all those things, and there’s a heck of a lot more to do. And so I plan to run for reelection, because there’s a lot more to do.”
For the Massachusetts residents whose top priorities are crime and getting the illegal immigrant situation – including the scandal-plagued migrant shelters – under control, her reelection bid is going to be a tough sell, according to the MassGOP:
“Under her leadership, the Commonwealth has become the least transparent state in the nation, with billions wasted on a migrant crisis that has spiraled into a full-blown humanitarian disaster-marked by sexual assaults, drug trafficking, child abuse, and violent crime,” MassGOP said in a statement.
Healey said last months that background checks she had ordered at Massachusetts [shelters] never happened. She’s also proposing changes to the heavily scrutinized right-to-shelter law in Massachusetts.

It’s going to be an even harder sell after the murder of 48-year-old Lynn, MA restaurant owner Ilias ‘Louie’ Mavros, as the suspect — 25-year-old Eric German-Pena—has been revealed to be an illegal immigrant who slipped in under the Biden-Harris administration back in 2022:
BREAKING: Per federal law enforcement source, the suspect arrested for the murder of a Boston area sandwich shop owner is a Dominican illegal alien who was caught and released at the Texas border by the Biden admin in 2022. Suspect being held w/ no bail.https://t.co/0MnYmQoA6m

Crazy Buzzy’s Roast Beef and Seafood had only been open for four months at the time of Mavros’ murder. Lynn, MA is about a 25-30 minute drive from Boston. They are remaining open in his honor.
Understandably, fed-up residents are outraged:
BREAKING: The owner of Lynn, MA sandwich shop Crazy Buzzy’s was killed at his home on Monday.
Now new details are coming out that the accused killer is an illegal alien from the Dominican Republican. @MassGovernor’s billion dollar migrant mess just got someone killed. https://t.co/4aV5EchAgf pic.twitter.com/coaY9lWV7Q

Not surprisingly, Republican leaders in the Commonwealth are having to deal with the same “we must protect them” mentality from Democrats at the local and state levels that Republicans on Capitol Hill have had to for years:
Today I filed an amendment to the shelter bill. It would have required the Commonwealth to work with ICE if dangerous individuals were at the shelter. The democrats ruled it out of scope to avoid a vote and then heckled me while at the microphone. Here’s my response. #mapoli… pic.twitter.com/mxTpXw5VRj

Mayor Wu should spend less time worrying about @FoxNews and more time pondering why international fugitives, murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and Haitian gang members w/ 17 convictions in two years have decided to set up shop in her sanctuary city & roam freely until ICE arrest. https://t.co/Wfo2gfn3yg

This is what happens when a lesbian cabal runs the state.
What does lesbianism have to do with it?
Perverted minds pervert society.
I don’t know about a cabal but I do know that the smirking lesbian doesn’t care about the citizens of Mass. Her far left agenda is much more important than such things.
She has seen to it that fellow salon members were appointed to judgeships and heads of key agencies. She even used such an appointment to buy the silence of a ex girlfriend so she could peacefully take up with another- also appointed to a lucrative government position. I hope the Grizzly has had his question answered.
The level of humankind we have allowed into our country thanks to Biden, is just above wild animals. They should be put in planes and DROPPED out over their native country sans parachute.
_”dropped w/o parachutes”_
Voters are abandoning the Dems in droves b/c of the immigration issue and the Dems’ defense of USAID. (E.g., see 1:10 in the following recent video: https://x.com/IsaiahLCarter/status/1887290743032561803 .)
Now that those voters have finally realized how outrageously the Dems have shafted them, some of those voters will be coming to LI, to give conservatives a listen.
Do you want those voters to see LI regulars recommending dropping deported criminals out of airplanes w/o parachutes?
LOL.
Take a chill pill. If that were polled in the same flip way it is used in comments then it would easily score a 75% favorable rating, as opposed to your laughable disingenuous (and dated) “concerned conservative” shtick. You aren’t fooling anyone, moonmouth.
I’ve seen this same phenomenon elsewhere: Adherents of a certain persuasion become so invested in their mantra that “Our opponents are incapable of ever listening to us!!!” that those adherents would rather squander an unexpected, hard-won opportunity to reach their erstwhile opponents, than ever that admit that that mantra was inaccurate.
Concern troll is… concerned.
I used to be interested in “converting” lefties.
No more. It’s a fool’s errand.
People aren’t lefties “because they’ve been lied to.”
People are lefties because they WANT to be lied to.
Make a list of notable lefties who HAVE been converted, and they all have one thing in common.
It’s not that they were captivated by the brilliance of a really persuasive rightie.
It’s because their old leftie pals screwed them over and tried to ruin their lives.
RFKJ. Tulsi. Naomi Wolf. Nighthorse. John Connally (hell, they nearly killed him).
Even Reagan and Trump 2.0, who makes Trump 1.0 pale in comparison.
Sure, there are a few exceptions. Musk “saw the elephant” before it stepped on him personally. But Musk is an intellectual outlier.
And there are people who switch because they are simple opportunists. Bloomberg. Barr. Liz Dole.
H. L. Richardson was right when he wrote that the only thing leftie politicians (actually all politicians) understand is pain. And that’s true of people in general.
Why did America suddenly flip to Trump? They could no longer stand the inflation, the rioting, the government-promoted racism, being unemployed, the squalor and crime committed by illegal immigrants, the 24/7 in-our-face screaming of the government-protected sexual and racial psychotics.
It wasn’t because somebody handed them a Pocked Sized Constitution, or because they read the comments column over at Legal Insurrection.
Re converting lefties: Many are left wing when young. They become more conservative as they age and have something to protect. Worth attempting to convert someone if they are younger than 35. After that conversion is primarily a response to a mugging.
Out of curiosity, how many voters do you think will have their minds changed by a random comment by a random commentor on a fairly niche website? Especially given the level of vitriol from the other side, including elected officials threatened to have Americans bombed/nuked simply for voting for Republicans?
“a fairly niche website”
Professor Jacobson does not concur (https://legalinsurrection.com/about/):
“Legal Insurrection now is one of the most widely cited and influential conservative websites, with hundreds of thousands of unique visitors per month.”
Someone here downvoted a post that notes that actually, LI is widely cited and influential. Would you prefer that it weren’t?
Yes, let’s just keep following the RINO playbook.
Let’s be sweet to the enemy’s footsoldiers in the vain hope that they will “like us better,”
So, how many voters? You failed to answer the question. And vs the death threats from elected Democrats as opposed to a random user name on the Internet?
I mean for all I know, it’s you posting things just to reply to them.
Yeah. The writers, not the commenters.
“how many voters do you think will have their minds changed”
How many potential new Trump supporters are LI regulars willing to risk driving away just so you can have the “fun” of posting about dropping people out of airplanes without parachutes?
The answer is zero voters will have their minds changed by a random comment on the Internet. Not one.
Also what about the death threats from Democrat officials?
Tons, I’d say because none of us work for the Trump campaign. Do you? Also, last time I checked there’s a 2 term limit.
To schmuul: You replied, “Also, last time I checked there’s a 2 term limit.”
Last time I checked, we hoped that J D Vance will be elected after Trump. There are also the mid-term elections in 2026.
The stakes being so high, why would LI regulars want to risk driving away new Trump supporters just so you can have the “fun” of posting about dropping people out of airplanes without parachutes?
Yeah, I think it should be publicized and maybe it would be a disincentive if they actually thought we would drop them out of a plane without a parachute. I don’t care why they choose not to come as long as they choose not to come
This is a tiny blog with great readers who have a sense of humor and don’t moralize each other nor virtue signal . We don’t represent all voters by any means nor influence elections in the comments section. Honestly if you can’t handle reading comments that are offensive, humorous or against your #virtuous beliefs , then don’t read or write on here. No one here is to be held up as an example of a perfect human nor voter , including you. We are free thinking humans , you can join us or leave. The choice is up to you but stop your dumb trolling of others ; no one cares what image voters have of Trump voters . Certainly no one on this blog does . Vote with conscience not with the crowd. This isn’t a popularity contest.
Well said. Moonmouth is clearly of that certain tribe of establishment Republican “graceful losers” that have plagued the Conservative movement for decades.
Moonmouth hasn’t yet grasped the fact that the days of “graceful losing” and “turn the other cheek” are over with.
The sooner he accepts that, the better off he will be.
Moonbat is one of the Concern Trolls, like JR, who prefers a clean rope when the left comes to the door.
Moonbat: “Conform or be cast out!”
I never said that.
You apparently never listened to Rush, either.
Not that Rush, the OTHER Rush.
“no one [on this blog] cares what image voters have of Trump voters.”
When did Professor Jacobson state that that is his position?
So do you, or don’t you agree that criminal illegal aliens should be flown back and dropped w/o parachutes into their own countries?
“This is a tiny blog”
Are you calling Professor Jacobson a liar? From the “About” page (https://legalinsurrection.com/about/):
“Legal Insurrection now is one of the most widely cited and influential conservative websites, with hundreds of thousands of unique visitors per month.”
Do you claim to speak for Professor Jacobson?
To irishgladiator63. No, I don’t. That’s why I quoted what’s said in the “About” section of his own website.
I can quote Prof Jacobson as well; he works very hard on this blog but it’s reach and audience is very small compared to many other outlets. I have known him for years, as a fellow Rhode Islander and have been reading this blog since the Obama era. He has never policed the comments sections because he believes people can withstand hearing diverse viewpoints. If you think legal Insurrection comments section is so all important as to shift public opinions and sway elections than you have very inflated ego and need to get a hobby. If you think scolding all of us to have better behavior is “influence” then psy ops isn’t your specialty. Trolling behavior has long been associated with psychopathology and malicious intent; maybe you don’t need a legal blog but a medical one?
To scmuul: You posted that “Trolling behavior has long been associated with psychopathology and malicious intent”.
Which behavior is “psychopathic with malicious intent”: Saying that people should be dropped from airplanes w/o parachutes, or objecting to that idea?
“you can join us or leave. The choice is up to you but stop your dumb trolling of others
Is that the answer that you would give to Mr. Carter (the man who posted his fiery renunciation of the Democrats) if he came to this site, and said that he is starting to see your point, but doesn’t find it funny to talk about dropping people out of airplanes?
I’ll worry about how I’ll answer somebody when something happens, Mouth.
Until then, it’s none of your damn concern. Nobody here answers to you.
To henrybowman:
I will be obliged if you can post the link to where Professor Jacobson states that I may not express the concern that someone like Mr. Carter might be treated in a way that could cause him (Mr. Carter) to leave, and never come back.
Go flap your flippers somewhere else, sealion.
You’ll get no fish from me.
Yes especially if you are talking about that peanut farmer of an ex-president. I like to quote the revolutionary war as much as possible. So Join Us or Leave is my version of Samuel Adams famous appeal. If you can’t handle free speech that’s on you.
“Trolling behavior has long been associated with psychopathy and malicious intent.
That’s what leftists have been saying about Trump’s love of trolling.
But since you were referring to my own post, could you share your Rhodes Scholar opinion as to which behavior is “psychopathic and malicious”: advocating dropping people out of airplanes, or objecting to that idea?
My mistake: You said that you’re a Rhode Islander, not a Rhodes Scholar.
Awesome! I wish I was a Rhodes scholar but alas I am just a lowly peon. I am a Rhode Islander and that definitely gives me revolutionary war credentials. As far as trolling being related to psychopathology, do some reading on the topic and you be the judge. Again, it’s about free speech and free thinking. Get it? You don’t have to agree with me. But scolding and shaming others for irreverent or perceived offensive comments, which is trolling behavior, doesn’t work here. Maybe it does on other websites, I don’t know and I don’t care. If you like, troll away, but you just won’t get the behavior change or the reaction you seem to be seeking.
Your preening is getting old. If you don’t want to have a period where ‘reactionary’ policies rule the day then don’t create the conditions nor allow those conditions to run for decades which then provoke the reaction.
IOW to avoid Pinochet all you need to do is refuse to allow political power to Marxists like Allende. Overly simplistic political philosophy but still accurate despite its condensed formulation.
Are you saying that you agree with dropping criminals out of airplanes w/o parachutes?
Go sealion somewhere else, boring troll.
I am saying that if a segment of a society doesn’t want to experience the reactionary actions which you may find excessive or at least distasteful then they should avoid any excesses when they are in power and admit that Trump isn’t the ‘boogeyman’ they claim.
Simple really, if you don’t want a Pinochet to come into power then don’t create the conditions for him to gain the popular support that compels a Pinochet by choosing a Marxist Allende. to precede him or by thwarting a political moderate like Trump.
The pendulum swings. What is happening now is the pendulum being returned to the political center of roughly the early ’90s USA. Those who oppose this are really NOT gonna like what comes if Trump/MAGA/MAHA is thwarted. Very plainly Trump is the ‘good’ cop in this scenario and the ‘bad’ cop is gonna be far more vigorous when he/she enter into power. We should avoid that if possible.
Concern troll is … concerned.
The number of people supporting returning all illegal immigrants that way regardless of criminality is growing. Especially to the countries that say they won’t take their own citizens back.
Me? I think throwing them out the back end of a C-130 as it does a touch and go in an open field would be fine. Most would survive with minor injuries.
It was decades of conservative politeness that got us into this hellhole. Never give an inch. Stop the infection in its tracks. There is no such thing as overstatement in our cause. Here’s a new concept for you- Be a man.
The parachute should be an extra charge option.
And tariffed.
1) Unpopular opinion: Healy is a diversity hire that checks progressive boxes instead of being competent.
2) Healy isn’t anywhere near as bright as she or her supporters think she is. If you’ve ever heard her opine on something that you have even fleeting knowledge of you’d know this.
3) Massachusetts isn’t as blue as you might think or be led to believe – witness the propensity to elect nominal republican governors – and if Maura continues to flounder, Massachusetts will lurch right.
Massachusetts won’t lurch to the right. Both senators are radical regressive nutjobs as are all their representatives. One of them may be a bit more to the right then the others but they reliably vote party over country. Both the state house and senate are democratically controlled as are all the state-wide offices. Occasionally a democratic governor is elected but they are usually a republican moderate as is typical in the Northeast, and basically equivalent to a standard democrat of the 1970s.
Unfortunately, Massachusetts is a state where “Republican” means people like Romney, Weld, Cellucci. All people comfortably to the left of FDR. Massachusetts enacted Romneycare long before Obama got his. The last credible “Republican” governor the state had was Ed King (1979-83) — and he was a Democrat who didn’t switch to being Republican until two years after his term.
Isn’t Massachusetts the state that let Barky’s illegal alien aunt – Auntie Zetuni – who was denied asylum and ordered deported by refused to leave the US and actually got into public housing in Boston for YEARS. Then, when she was found out, while Barky was occupooping the Oval Office, Barky had her illegal presence “fixed” and her deportation order (of years and years and years) was rescinded.
Good Ol’ Boston and Massachusetts … giving aid and comfort to an illegal invasion for a long, long time. It’s well past time to start putting some of these dangerous traitors in prison.
I don’t remember if his aunt lived in MA but his illegal uncle lived there for at least 15 years despite multiple orders to deport and illegally worked at a liquor store in South Framingham.
AP story on the uncle’s drunk driving case. He was ordered deported in 1992.

Is that a tranny on the flag behind her?
They are invaders, not immigrants. Let’s start using the correct terminology.
They’re settlers and colonists. Use the left’s terminology.
No, it’s Liz Warren’s spirit g-g-g-grandfather.
The state motto on the flag is “Ense petit placidam sub libertate quietem,” which translates to “By the sword we seek peace, but peace only under liberty.” It’s an embarrassing motto for a state that viciously suppresses both its citizens’ arms and their liberties.
A number of us formally proposed that the state motto be changed to “Respublica Quam Melior Omne Scit” — “The state that knows better than everybody else.”
This was at the same time that Massachusetts was on a typical “new Democrat firsts” roll for creating new official state symbols which were subcategories of symbols it already had — like a “state mammal,” “state marine mammal,” “state folksong,” “state patriotic song,” “state glee club song,” etc. We noted to the legislature that unlike a number of other states, Massachusetts still lacked an official “state dinosaur,” and recommended naming Teddy Kennedy.
All of New England was the basket of liberty for this country. Now they are the very tyrants our founders fought to be free.
The family need to file a lawsuit against the city of Boston snd send them into bankruptcy.
“@MassGovernor’s billion dollar migrant mess just got someone killed.”
Hammer them with their own playbook.
“If it saves just one life, all illegal invaders must be deported!!1!”
healey’s in the hot seat……… isn’t that sexist?
