The Immigrant Safety Act has passed the House Judiciary committee with a vote count of 7-4 The committee amended the bill, adding critical new protections that prohibit state and local governments in New Mexico from entering into 287(g) agreements with ICE that turn local law enforcement into immigration agents. New Mexico has proven once again that we are not powerless against ICE and their inhumane treatment of our immigrant communities. The Immigrant Safety Act is critical step for the safety of our families and ensures we hold these systems accountable for the cruelties they create.
