President Trump’s Justice Department Sues New Mexico and Albuquerque Over Sanctuary Policies
The Trump administration is done talking. It is now hauling New Mexico and Albuquerque into federal court.
The Justice Department announced Thursday that the United States has filed a complaint and a motion for preliminary injunction against the State of New Mexico, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham, Attorney General Raul Torrez, the City of Albuquerque, and Mayor Timothy Keller. The case, United States v. State of New Mexico et al., No. 1:26-cv-01471, is now before the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico.
At the center of the dispute are two measures the DOJ says are designed to sabotage federal immigration enforcement: New Mexico’s HB9, branded the “Immigrant Safety Act,” and Albuquerque’s ordinance O-26-15, known as the “Safer Community Places Ordinance.” The Justice Department alleges both laws violate federal supremacy and infringe on authority that belongs exclusively to the federal government under the Constitution.
