ACLU of New Mexico

Under the Trump administration, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has become more dangerous and less accountable than ever. Lawmakers must end New Mexico’s complicity in Trump's mass detention and deportation system NOW by passing HB 9, the New Mexico Immigrant Safety Act. Send lawmakers a message at the link in our bio.

New Mexico has strong laws to protect the rights of our community, but there is a dangerous gap in our digital privacy. SB 53 establishes clear, common-sense rules to ensure that New Mexicans, not big tech, control their own personal information:

Automatic license plate reader data (ALPR) has already been used to target immigrant community members, track patients seeking abortion care, and monitor activists. Lawmakers must pass the Driver Privacy and Safety Act to stop ALPR data from being misused by out‑of‑state authorities. Send a message to lawmakers at the link in our bio.

Law enforcement in New Mexico are collecting huge amounts of data about where we're going. And that data can be sold to the Trump administration to track all of our activities. Lawmakers must take action to end this practice in New Mexico.

Every search you search. Every page you browse. Everything you do on the internet can be tracked, collected, and sold to the highest bidder, including the Trump administration. New Mexico lawmakers must take action this legislative session to pass The New Mexico Community & Health Information Safety & Privacy Act (CHISPA).

Some lawmakers want to make it easier to round up our unhoused community members and forcefully put them in institutions against their will. Here are the facts: Unhoused people are far more likely to be victims than perpetrators of crime. They need community support, not forceful removal.

ICE is out of control. That's why lawmakers must work to pass the Immigrant Safety Act this legislative session to take concrete actions to protect New Mexicans.

Almost four years after losing their home in a deadly house fire resulting from a botched SWAT operation, an Albuquerque family received the second of two settlements. During the operation, officers held Coleman, her daughter and her baby grandson at gunpoint. Hours later, they watched as their family home burned down. Fifteen-year-old Brett Rosenau was found dead inside, along with the Coleman family dog. All of their possessions were destroyed. The family struggled with housing instability following the incident and were forced to live in their car for several months. We hope that the Colemans can now peacefully move forward in this next chapter of their lives, and we urge APD and BCSO to work diligently to ensure another incident like this never happens again.

Despite the lingering issues at Lybrook Elementary, the parents of children there have big hopes for their children's (and the school's) future. See the full video at the link in our bio.

Navajo Nation Vice President Richelle Montoya is calling for change at Lybrook Elementary — a school mainly serving Navajo children that has faced decades of under-resourcing. Watch the full video with stories from parents at the link in our bio.

Lybrook Elementary sits in the far corner of Jemez Mountain School District on Highway 550. Most children who attend the school live just across the county line in Sandoval County. This means parents of the students haven't had a voice in school board elections for generations, resulting in a lack of resources for the school, which is made up of predominantly Navajo children.

At a small school district in northwestern New Mexico, many Navajo parents cannot run for local school board or vote in the school district’s elections where their children go to school. See more of the story of Lybrook Elementary and the parents fighting for their children at the link in our bio.
