New Mexico Defies Federal Immigration Enforcement

Albuquerque and New Mexico are defiantly resisting federal immigration enforcement, challenging a DOJ lawsuit that seeks to force them to cooperate with ICE. The state’s Immigrant Safety Act bans local contracts with ICE for civil detentions, while the city’s ordinance blocks ICE from using public property or entering sensitive sites without warrants. Both argue the federal government oversteps its bounds under the Tenth Amendment, especially after exposing dangerous conditions at a detention center. Though the DOJ has stayed quiet beyond its filings, similar lawsuits have already been tossed out in other states — hinting this fight may be a tough one for Washington.
