The federal government is ramping up efforts to expand detention and deportation nationwide, threatening mixed-status families, children, local businesses, public safety, and New Mexico's economy. While New Mexico has a proud tradition of welcoming immigrants, more Needs to be done to protect our communities from these escalating attacks.
At Somos, we are committed to:
Defending our families through civil rights education with workshops and public information campaigns.
Advocating for stronger state policies that prevent the use of state resources to enforce federal civil immigration laws.
Protecting personal information by ensuring sensitive data, such as driver’s license records, are not shared with ICE via data brokers.
Expanding access to legal support by securing funding for immigration legal services.
Together, we can create a safer and more inclusive state for ALL New Mexicans.
