U.S. Attorney Alexander M.M. Uballez has announced his resignation following a request from President Donald J. Trump, marking a significant shift in New Mexico’s federal legal leadership. Appointed by Joe Biden in January 2022 and confirmed by the Senate in May of the same year, Uballez’s tenure has been characterized by a “progressive” approach to criminal justice, emphasizing rehabilitation and diversity initiatives.
During his time in office, Uballez implemented several policies aimed at reforming traditional prosecutorial practices. He prioritized intervention and support for individuals transitioning from incarceration back into society, reflecting his belief in “seeking redemption not isolation.”
This approach often involved alternatives to incarceration. While his initiatives aimed to reduce recidivism and promote community integration, many argue that such policies inadvertently lead to the release of offenders who reoffended, raising concerns about public safety.
In addition to his focus on rehabilitation, Uballez was a strong advocate for woke Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies within the legal system. He prioritized identity politics over merit-based practices, impacting the objectivity and effectiveness of the justice system.
Uballez’s tenure also saw the initiation of an inquiry into a significant public corruption scheme involving the dismissal of hundreds of DWI cases in New Mexico. Despite these efforts, his progressive policies have been a point of contention, with many noting that a focus on rehabilitation and DEI compromises the primary objectives of law enforcement and public safety.
Following his resignation, First Assistant U.S. Attorney Holland S. Kastrin will serve as Acting U.S. Attorney until a successor is nominated and confirmed.
Good!
One New Mexico dem down and out. Keep going this is just the tip of the iceberg on the corruption here I’m willing to stake my life on!
There will be more resignations.
Justice, at last!
Love how they froze his “devices” and when he called, he got no guidance! Wonder how much of a ” ah shit moment” he had!?
I’m hoping that Trump kicks the STUPID GOVENOR out too. She is a low life POS.
Good and that is just a start to drain the swamp. Not sure if they can unseat the evil ungodly MLG? But hoping that they continue to see and reveal the corruption here in NM. Keeping the president and his administration in prayer and all the Republicans that are in NM to stand up and keep fighting the comrades of MLG in the round house.
At least Alexander M.M. Uballez stepped down with a hint of dignity instead of puffing his chest up then getting tossed out. The list is long but, next in line to be tossed out is Hiney-lick, Stansbury, Therese loud- mouth Fernandez, Raul Torrez, and both the Loserjans!! Dirty politicians in New Mexico needs to come to an end!!!
They all need to get the BOOT
