Guidance on Immigration Enforcement
A Message from New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez
“Our priority is to protect New Mexico’s families, especially children, from policies that create fear and destabilize communities. We are committed to upholding the rule of law and ensuring public safety, but we must also safeguard the ability of families and children to access education, healthcare, and justice without fear of persecution.”
In response to President Trump’s executive order rescinding longstanding federal protections for sensitive locations such as schools, churches, hospitals, and courthouses, the New Mexico Department of Justice (NMDOJ) has issued guidance to leaders of these critical spaces. This change in policy, reversing safeguards recognized by both Republican and Democratic administrations, underscores the urgent need for local leaders to understand their rights and responsibilities at the intersection of state and federal law.
Below, please find guidance for community leaders regarding the enforcement of immigration laws.
