A Massachusetts man who blew the whistle on crime in the state-funded migrant shelter system is warning that the Democrat governor’s decision to scrap the hotel shelters will have a disastrous impact.
Like other deep blue states, Democrats in the Commonwealth have mounted a pitched battle against President Donald J. Trump’s tough immigration policies and the crackdown on criminal illegal aliens, and Gov. Maura Healey’s closure of the shelter system is only going to enable the spread of criminality as foreign offenders move into residential neighborhoods.
“The Healey hotels were well known for having sex trafficking, domestic violence. We’ve reported cases of rape, unfortunately, in there,” said Jon Fetherston, who ran a shelter in Marlborough. “Now, you’ve opened it up to all of the cities and towns in Massachusetts.”
Fetherston said that since the lesbian governor shuttered the shelters, there’s been “an uptick in domestic violence, sex trafficking, shoplifting and even auto accidents.”
“How the governor just wants the public to believe that all of these things will not happen is extremely naive and extremely dangerous,” he said.
“Governor Healey wants you to think she just snaps her fingers and closes all of the hotels and then disperses people into the communities that the thousand incidents that were reported back in 2024, and the state has refused to release the data for 2025, she just thinks that those serious instances aren’t going to happen in the communities that now she’s forced people into,” Fetherston told Fox News Digital.
“It’s more political theater, more political power grabs from Donald Trump. We don’t need or want his interference here,” Healey said in a recent statement, referring to a potential federal takeover of Boston’s South Station similar to the Department of Transportation’s plans for Union Station in Washington, D.C.
Fetherston also referred to the fatal vehicle accident in Florida when Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien from India, made an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike in Fort Pierce on August 12, causing the commercial vehicle to jackknife and collide with a minivan, killing all three occupants.
He told the outlet that there’s been an increase in vehicular accidents lately, “you’ve seen the national stories of unlicensed or illegals with driver’s licenses and CDLs. I haven’t seen that, but I’ve seen a tremendous uptick in car accidents.”
Crime is also way up in Beantown, which is under the control of racist Democrat Mayor Michelle Wu, who has vowed to resist if Trump deploys the National Guard to her city to protect residents from criminals.
“Boston was once a great city, it is no longer.”

“This is a beautiful, diverse, incredible city, and I have said it now very directly, this administration needs to stop attacking cities to hide their own failures,” Wu declared.
“Your eyes tell you all you need to know. Crime is on an uptick in Boston. Things are not good in Boston,” Fetherston said. “Boston was once a great city. It is no longer a great city. It is a city that with open drug use, the crime rates have spiked.”
“How any elected official could not put public safety as the biggest priority of any job that they do, it’s disgusting to me and it’s very concerning,” he added. “Mayor Wu wants to tell you that Boston is one of the safest cities. No, your eyes tell you that Boston has been in great decline.”
Fetherston suggested that federal attempts to send in the National Guard and DHS would be welcomed by many residents and that “anybody who lives in a crime-ridden area, which there are a lot in Massachusetts, will appreciate the effect of it.”
“I’ve talked to business owners, I’ve talk to local law enforcement, anybody who wants to have a sensible conversation about fixing crime in their community, they support what the president’s doing and wants to do,” he added.
“Yeah, some people probably don’t like the optics because maybe they don’t understand it. And the media is doing, in my opinion, doing a bad job of describing it. Tanks are not rolling down people’s streets,” Fetherston told Fox News Digital. “The National Guard’s not walking with guns into your backyard and stuff like that. We’re just there to protect and serve, and that’s what your local police does.”
“If you don’t want that as an elected official, I don’t want you as my elected official,” he said.
“Governor Maura Healey and Mayor Michelle Wu have turned their backs on law and order, prioritizing illegal migrants and radical policies over the everyday needs of residents. Shelters are overflowing. Budgets are strained. And instead of solutions, we get spin, gaslighting, and press conferences that ignore the reality we see in our neighborhoods,” Fetherston wrote in an op-ed posted to X.
