Albuquerque
As New Mexico’s largest city, Albuquerque has enacted policies that restrict local law enforcement from collaborating with federal immigration enforcement. This approach is designed to foster trust between immigrant communities and city officials. However, non-compliance with federal deportation initiatives could jeopardize substantial federal funding.
While exact figures are not publicly disclosed, Albuquerque receives significant federal grants for various programs, including public safety and community development. Loss of these funds could adversely affect essential city services.
“I’ve seen the Trump show before and, more than most cities, we are prepared and I am prepared to stand up for the City of Albuquerque,” vowed far-left Democrat Mayor Tim Keller, when asked about the sanctuary city policy.
Yes! Wonderful news!
I am in total agreement that any sanctuary city, county or state should be given 30 days to withdraw their sanctuary status or immediately have all federal dollars stopped. If they continue to defy the government by keeping their sanctuary status, then the federal government should sue the Governor for violation of federal immegration laws.
Agreed!
They should add “human trafficking/slavery to any charges brought.
Well said…MLG is always taking the hardest direction possible to try to defy anything that she feels is going to move her into the good gracies of the hard left. I think her decisions are few and far between when they support New Mexico and the state in general.
This state needs to take a very hard look at what isn’t being done to benefit ALL of us and rid us of the financial and moral values of the whole state and not her little corner of her world. Her policies particularly concerning sanctuary are making this state unsafe for all of us.
Notice where all this has taken place. The same places that treat rural New Mexico as if we don’t exist. But they sure like our oil & gas!!! Maybe we ought to refund them!
Long overdue.
This makes too much sense. “You live in my house and take advantage of my generosity – you abide by my rules.”
Patiently waiting. That’s all I got.
Those who have entered our Nation illegally are NOT ‘IMMIGRANTS’…NOT ‘UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS’. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS who have violated our laws and then taken advantage of our generosity, finances, and our Citizens’ safety and security. Trump and Tom Homan have stated they will start first with and concentrate on violent criminals: murderers and rapists. I hope they then deal with the invaders who have entered since the Biden/Harris scam administration. And I don’t give a damn about the LefTards and Demfuks who scream and whine.
Absolutely agree, thank goodness we will have a real president who will once again put American Citizens FIRST for a change, and Tom Homan is THE man to head ICE, he knows exactly what to do.
They should also tax the money that illegal aliens send out of our country, they don’t pay tax on their ill gotten illegal gains.
I live on the Border my family has been here since the early 1800s . I say defund all sanctuary cities in New Mexico. 🇺🇸👍
Thank you Donald Trump and Tom Homan.
Happy Thanksgiving.
we know it is the fruit loops in Santa Fe that are pushing there crazy agenda. Once they start to lose money they will toe the line. Heck NM is largely a fed gov funded state, look how much gov land we have. If they cut funds to NM because of sanctuary cities NM will fold, if it does maybe the conservatives will step up.
This is wonderful news. I live in Albuquerque, and one of the things that I see that I never did before, when I was growing up, is the dirt and filth of the city because of the encampents that are all over Albuquerque. Tim Keller says there is nothing he can do about it, but go west to Rio Rancho, and this is something you don’t see because the mayor there does not allow this. It is a clean city. To Tim Keller, You are 1000% wrong here. Rio Rancho shows you that it can be done. This goes for our evil wicked witch of the North MLG too. She is 1000% wrong too.
Sorry for the misspelling of the word encampments.
Secure the border and make Immigrants play by the rules. A pretty simple concept… These clowns who push sanctuary cities nonsense are helping ILLEGALS break the law! Everyone involved in the “sanctuary” nonsense needs to sit behind bars so they have time to rethink helping break the law!
Absolutely defund these NM cities and counties that are defying our immigration laws.
Like TIJERANDY wrote: “Those who have entered our Nation illegally are NOT ‘IMMIGRANTS’…NOT ‘UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS’. They are ILLEGAL ALIENS who have violated our laws and then taken advantage of our generosity, finances, and our Citizens’ safety and security.”
Kick these NM sanctuary cities and counties to the curb!
Just goes to show how the elected elitists put themselves above the law endangering the honest legal citizens. Claiming to be ever so humanitarian while they pull on the heart strings of caring legal citizens. Citizens who are paying the price, not only with taxes but filling the public schools with kids who can’t read, write or speak english with parents who can’t either. Add to this all the setbacks with the medical community when getting an appointment takes 6-months to a year. The hospital ER’s are filled with illegals. This is just a few examples of the corruption aiding and abetting more corruption. These aiders and abetters need to be arrested and tried for treason and possibly espionage. These elitists are enriching themselves by claiming to protect the rest us. These so called public servants don’t know the definition of illegal and if they do, they rewrite the definition to fit their agenda.
