New Mexico Rescinds Sanctuary State Status

Kudo to New Mexico and new Gov. Susana Martinez.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Gov. Susana Martinez said Monday that New Mexico is no longer a sanctuary state, but some call this executive order a tragedy with implications far beyond our imagination.

Martinez ordered the reversal of the state’s “sanctuary status,” which prohibited law enforcement from asking criminal suspects about their citizenship. Now, officers will be able to ask anyone they suspect of a crime about their immigration status.
