Immigrant advocacy groups in New Mexico have announced their legislative proposals, which aim to protect immigrant workers and families in the state. These proposals include measures such as preventing the use of state resources for civil and immigration law enforcement, providing legal representation for immigration cases in rural areas, and restricting state and local governments from having ICE contracts for civil immigration detention. The 2025 New Mexico Legislative Session is set to begin in January, with legislators able to pre-file legislation starting on January 2.
Upcoming interim committee meetings in the state include the Interim Transportation Infrastructure Revenue Subcommittee, the Interim Science, Technology and Telecommunications Committee, the Interim Water and Natural Resources Committee, and the Legislative Council. Meeting times and locations are subject to change based on the call of the chair.
