    New Mexico Legislature Passes Major Bills

    New Mexico legislators passed over fifty bills, including a $66.6 million Capitol operating budget and a $1.5 billion bonding package for road repairs. Education received a boost with teacher stipends and special education funding, while health measures expanded loan repayments and insurance coverage. Public safety saw tougher penalties for certain crimes. Communities reacted mixedly to new laws, with some praising road loans and others worrying about immigrant safety acts. High-profile ideas like gun control and school cellphone bans stalled. As these laws take effect, expect improvements in doctor access, roads, and education.

    New Mexico Passes Immigrant Protection Bills

    New Mexicos lawmakers celebrate a victory for immigrant communities, passing four protection bills, including the Immigrant Safety Act, which blocks local governments from contracting with ICE for detention and bans future deals letting local police assist federal immigration efforts. The state also becomes the first to explicitly criminalize soldiers or ICE agents at polling places, restricts out-of-state agencies from using license plate data for deportations, and sets up an Office of New Americans for job training. These moves push back against federal crackdowns and build on New Mexicos history of welcoming immigrants. Checkout https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn. Advertise on DNN: advertise@thednn.ai
