Thank you, @mcqueenfornm.bsky.social for your steadfast support of HB9. Do you expect the bill as amended (to prohibit state and local cooperation with federal civil imm enforcement) to pass?
In the House Judiciary Committee I voted for HB9, the Immigrant Safety Act, because New Mexico should not in any way be an enabler of the violence, abuse, and cruelty going on in our country.
I look forward to voting for it again on the House Floor.

My 2020 Model 3 was the fastest, most energy efficient car I'd ever owned. 65K miles. Multiple NM-OH road trips. Almost 130 MPGe over 5 1/2 years. No maintenance other than tires.
Musk's increasingly bad management of Tesla, and then his fascist turn, led me to trade it last year. 1/

2. After bring chaos and illegality and killings to MN, the ICE assault on that city and others will continue with minimal changes.

Do not fall for this garbage. DHS came into my city with an offensive posture, conducted itself as an invader, often attacked residents without any plausible connection to immigration enforcement, violently seized people off the streets. Now it’s our fault people died?

ICE and CBP are at the head of Trump's campaign to terrorize Minnesotans. But the Justice Department is not far behind.

Huh. The House DHS funding bill barred ICE from using the money to detain or deport *U.S. citizens*. Allegedly, Stephen Miller stripped that language and sent it back to the House.
