I understand that 85 individuals have been rounded up in NM by ICE. I think overall and per-capita that is a small number as these things go. I have not had the courage to try to reach any of the several people I know whose immigration status is ambiguous... I don't think they need any extra attention right now. My two closest acquaintances from that world obtained permanent resident status after roughly 20 years of effort (including birthing two children) various status and a lot of cash (roughly $20k each in lawyers fees). They are not first or second line at-risk but maybe third or fourth, given that we already see (Kahlil Mahmoud, etc.) others being rounded up and bounced without due process.
The governor seems pretty adamant about trying to stand up against this kind of nonsense but her political capital is somewhat at-risk as well with big money oil&gas (and other industrial development) interests trying to under mine all Democrats in the state.
I drove through the Nambe Tesla sales/service lot again today... no evidence of any vandalism in spite of the location being very exposed by many measures and a lot of traffic right next door with the Nambe Pueblo Visitor center and filling station. I didn't count or identify vehicles on the lot, but it looked like the same 6 cybertrucks and at least a dozen more 3, Y, X models.... there is a "back line" of chargers (smaller than conventional superchargers?) with 1 cybertruck and several other passenger cars plugged in, a few empty slots. I assume these are open for general public Tesla owners, but are maybe only there to support the Sales/Service effort?
Given the kinds of antagonism MAGA has levied against native populations/nations I would expect a widespread resistance rising against Trump, et-al. I saw a short clip indicating that the Ogalala tribe in OK called up their war-chief and effectively declared War on DOGE in response to their BIA offices/funding being closed out.
Are you (REC) living in/near Las Cruces these days (years)? On 3/22/25 1:53 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote:
