I have special agents in my office that serve on federal task force.

We get that.

We understand how police are trained in New Mexico to abide by people's constitutional rights.

Extremely important.

But let me tell you, this whole

This whole operation of attempting not only to do unconstitutional things, but also to actually scare the heck out of everybody is having the opposite effect when it comes to crime fighting.

I have a victim of rape who's not going to testify because they're so afraid that part of their family will be deported if they come forward and testify in a courtroom.

It doesn't help when it comes to fighting crime.

To the contrary, it's the worst thing.

And let me say this.

I will prosecute anybody who commits a violent crime.

I don't care what their legal status is.

We want to prosecute them.

We hold people accountable here in Albuquerque the best we possibly can at the DA's office.

But this operation, this kind of just pulling people over and kicking down doors without a warrant, without reasonable suspicion and probable cause is unacceptable.

And we're not going to continue to put up with it.

No, absolutely.

You know, New Mexico is the most amazing place.

But the last thing we need right now is Donald Trump doing things that directly hurt New Mexicans.

You know, this whole the attack on democracy speaks for itself.
