New GOP State Senator-Elect Cool To Trump Immigration Policies

December 7, 2017

Dean Tran, a Republican city councilor in Fitchburg elected to the Massachusetts Senate on Tuesday, called the Trump Administration’s immigration policies a “little harsh” and said there should be a path to citizenship for illegal aliens “in certain circumstances.” Tran, who escaped Vietnam with his family when he was 2, opposed the opening of a Planned Parenthood facility in Fitchburg as a city councilor several years ago and drew the endorsement of pro-lifers in the Senate race.
