Anna Giaritelli joined the Washington Examiner in 2015 and focuses on homeland security, immigration, and border issues. Anna has traveled to the border on more than 40 occasions since 2018 and has covered human smuggling, the evolution of the war on drugs, domestic terrorism, and migration trends. She is currently based in Austin, Texas.

The White House will send officials from the Department of Homeland Security to Massachusetts following Gov. Maura Healey's demand that the Biden administration see for itself how the border crisis has devastated the state.

“DHS is coordinating with the City of Boston and the State of Massachusetts to identify ways we can continue to maximize our support for communities that are addressing the needs of migrants while enforcing tough consequences against those without a legal basis to remain in the country," a DHS spokesperson wrote in an email Monday.

Two motels in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, have been used to house immigrants, which hurts the town economy, particularly during leaf-peeping season when tourists visit to see the changing colors of trees. Sturbridge Town Administrator Robin Grimm said the impact on lost revenue and taxes is incalculable at this point.

Healey spoke out in August and said the problem was not one for local or state governments to carry but for the federal government. Massachusetts's 7 million residents join other localities, including New York City, Chicago, and Washington, that have grappled to respond to the number of immigrants released into their communities from the border under Biden. All are sanctuary zones that have refused to cooperate with the federal government's immigration policies.
