It is up to all of us to ensure that the rights, dignity, and safety of all people in New Mexico are protected.

We urge all of New Mexico's cities to push back against harmful policies pushed by the Trump administration by enacting similar resolutions and to acknowledge the urgent need for state-level protections.

Taxpayer dollars are better spent investing in programs that improve public safety by supporting our communities, not policies that tear them apart.

Research shows that welcoming city policies result in lower crime rates and stronger economies. It also ensures that local resources go to local needs, not cruel and overreaching federal policies.

Our neighbors who are immigrants make New Mexico stronger and more vibrant. They are our coworkers, neighbors, and family members. They make large contributions to our economies and communities.

Bottom line: This resolution reflects our values as New Mexicans: inclusivity, respect, and unity.

Every New Mexican deserves that same security. We look forward to continued commitment from the legislature in addressing public safety with real solutions.

In the safest communities, no one has to worry about how they’ll put food on their table or whether they can afford to get the healthcare they need, including behavioral healthcare.
