Crime Sparks State of Emergency in New Mexico: What We Know

New Mexico Democratic Governor MichelleLujanGrisham declared a state of emergency Wednesday for Rio Arriba County—including the city of Española and surrounding Pueblo communities—citing a significant surge in violent crime, drug trafficking, and other public safety threats that have overwhelmed local capacity. The declaration enables the release of up to $750,000 in emergency funding to bolster local law enforcement, expand resources, and stabilize affected communities.

The emergency declaration reflects a localized public-safety crisis, the Democratic governor notes.

Officials say the initial funding from the state of emergency will support coordination and targeted resources throughout the impacted areas.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump has focused on crime, law and order, and immigration policies while campaigning for president and since his inauguration.

Trump threatened tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China in February related to fentanyl coming into the country.

In a statement, the governor said, "When our local leaders called for help to protect their communities, we responded immediately with decisive action," emphasizing that the state will marshal all available resources to restore public safety. State officials connected the crime rise to broader social challenges, including homelessness, family instability, and a growing opioid crisis.

Española, in northern New Mexico, is situated approximately 255 miles north of the U.S.–Mexico border.

According to the news release, police calls in Española have more than doubled in two years.

Well good to know those gun control measures are working out for them. As someone who had the misfortune to be stationed in the land of entrapment for over two years I have to say... couldn't have happened to a better state.

>>1426360
Currently two Democrat municipalities had a declared state of emergency due to their crime.
Sad!

>>1426351 (OP)
So while Trump is wasting national guard personnel in a state with a declining crime rate, another state actually requests them and now are gonna have to deal with the resources being tied up for Trump's stunt.

>>1426364
New Mexico can't deploy their National Guard because...

Rio Arriba county. Population 40K

lel. Looks like Andy and Barney will have to hire a second deputy.

Just a reminder that this is a tiny shithole county in a desert state,
and the murder rate in the Garden of Eden was 25% after Cain killed his brother.

>>1426364
>Declining crime rate
False Democrat talking point. The crime rate is still massive and there are thousands of homeless people causing problems every single day that are not reported because the Democrat mayor is retarded

>>1426374
Trvke
>>1426364
Im sure trump would be more than happy to deploy federal forces to New Mexico to help with all the Democrat crime if the governor asked him to.

But unless federal agents are being obstructed or harmed, or the governor consents, he has no authority to deploy these sorts of peacekeepers to help a state combat their Democrat-fueled crime wave

Shills sure seem tired of getting the shit kicked out of them
Too bad this thread is just a huge copefest instead of what they want it to be

>>1426403
I have no idea what you're talking about scizo

>>1426351 (OP)
Glad to see Trump's federal war on fent is going swimmingly. Oh wait, Americans are still dying? What gives?

>>1426407
Don't forget the secured border which apparently isn't actually secured.

I've always speculated that Texas lies how many migrants come over their border to get more funding for "border security".

>>1426392
>But unless federal agents are being obstructed or harmed, or the governor consents, he has no authority
Why Do you lie deliberately on the internet, or are you so self delusional, that you lie to yourself?

>>1426351 (OP)
This is what... The third Democrat municipality in the last year that had needed federal assistance to combat lawlessness and thugs?

Not surprising

>>1426416
In what instances can the president deploy military or federal agents into a state for the purpose of upholding state law?

I'm not aware of any such purposes other than when federal activities are being obstructed.

>>1426446
Check the insurrection act.
tl;dr If a state is failing to protect the rights of the people, the federal government can step in.

>>1426447
how was DC failing? By having a slightly elevated murder rate that was already down from the previous year?

Fucks sake the highest profile crime that infringed on the rights of the people in DC was backed by and later had every participant pardoned by Trump himself.

>>1426449
In 2024, the homicide rate was 27.3 per 100,000 residents, which was higher than cities like New York City, Atlanta, Chicago, and Compton.
There isn't any acceptable level of gang violence. There shouldn't be any murder at all in any US city, least of all in the capital of the country.

look at esl shill lecturing us as if he has the authority to do so

>>1426450
>There shouldn't be any murder at all in any US city, least of all in the capital of the country.
Holy fuck this is delusional. The only countries that achieve this are dictatorships, and that's only because state-backed murders don't count.

>it's delusional to want to keep your cities safe
Anon's not firing on all cylinders, apparently

>>1426456
>Guys if your city has any murder rate at all it's failing so badly the government needs to establish martial law over it

>>1426458
Uhh yeah. Because the alternative is having .556 ripping through the walls of children's bedrooms at 3AM because two criminals got into an argument about drugs. In the capital of the nation, no less.

The reason why criminals feel emboldened to do that shit is because they know that there are no lasting consequences. If they're caught (big if) they'll spend a few years in a prison, being housed, clothed and fed using American taxdollars.

We shouldn't even be having this argument. There is no acceptable amount of gang violence.

>>1426458
Also: this wouldn't even be necessary if DC actually enforced the law as they should've been. It's total incompetence, and I hope the mayor of DC is charged for dereliction of duty.

>>1426460
>>1426459
Good posts

>>1426459
Or you could have effective law enforcement and/or go after the root cause of those crimes without martial law. That's another alternative.
You have no idea what you're talking about. Prison is not fun, people don't want to go there, and a criminal record has lasting consequences. Preventing crime is good, nobody wants crime, but trying to reach absolutely no crime at all is both unrealistic and dangerous. This is how you get a totalitarian police state.

>>1426459
>There is no acceptable amount of gang violence.
Say more about reigning in the police

>>1426460
>this wouldn't even be necessary if DC actually enforced the law as they should've been.
Which they were doing. The crime rate was going down year by year, but apparently not fast enough for Trump. So now we get to waste national guard time as they stand around doing jack shit and Trump claims powers that were supposed to only be used if the city was in the middle of a mass riot for several days on end.

>>1426467
>Or you could have effective law enforcement and/or go after the root cause of those crimes without martial law. That's another alternative.
It's a democrat run city. They think policing is racist because gang-related violence is primarily perpetuated by minorities, and so any sort of policing would invariably target minorities the most. That's why gang violence is allowed to persist.

>>1426470
>The crime rate was going down year by year, but apparently not fast enough for Trump
To be fair, your "crime was going down year by year" statement was only true for the year 2024, the crime rate skyrocketed during and after the BLM riots

>>1426493
You mean the Boogaloo Riots?

>>1426491
Municipal elections aren't partisan.

>>1426495
Nope

>>1426513
that is the correct answer to "are you american or white"

>>1426493
>the BLM riots
The what?
Are they related to the BLM protests? Because the only riot I can think of was Jan 6th

>>1426530
>Are they related to the BLM protests
Yeah they were the BLM riots with people who were protesting with BLM that happened at the same time as the BLM protests

>>1426428
We should just destroy every single democrat place in this country. They drag down the hard working true Americans. They steal all of our tax dollars. They force their degeneracy down our throats. When we take what is owed to us from the leafs, they will be the knife at our backs.

>>1426541
No, I think you're making those up

Why?

>>1426493
>the crime rate skyrocketed during and after the BLM riots
Facts. On a related note, now seems like a great time to remind everyone of the city of Austin defunding 1/3rd of their police budget in 2020 and then breaking their record for homicides before 2021 was even done. Texas Republicans had to pass a law to make sure they don't do that again.

>>1426495
Pathetic shill line that can never explain how three people caused $1.6 billion in property damage, 20+ deaths, and over 10,000 arsons throughout the entire country for over a year.

>>1426530
>muh 93% were peaceful we're not responsible for the 7% whataboutism jan 6th damage control

>>1426392

Wrong.

>>1426449
>how was DC failing?

For one thing, there's been a massive increase in car jackings in DC over the last few years.

https://www.axios.com/local/washington-dc/2024/01/04/carjacking-rings-arrests-2023

>>1426561
>muh 93% were peaceful
That's objectively true, though.

>>1426351 (OP)
That's okay, she can mobilize the national guard and clean things right up.

>>1426566
And moreso for jan 6th and yet you keep bringing it up in every debate topic.
>what reforms do we need with the legal immigration process?
>I dunno, but lets talk about Jan 6th instead!

>>1426568
>And moreso for jan 6th
???
>and yet you keep bringing it up in every debate topic.
I do not, but it's understandable why that big an elephant in the room would come up a lot.

>>1426569
>that big an elephant in the room
But enough about the Republicans' orange one.

>>1426569
>???
53,000 attendees, 1575 arrests, so that's 2.97%. Round it up to 3% for convenience, that leaves 97% that were peaceful.

And before you start howling about how "just because they weren't arrested doesn't mean they weren't violent" consider that:
A) that's the same standard the left uses to get that bullshit 93% were peaceful number
B) not everyone arrested at Jan 6th was charged with a violent crime
and
B) consider that the FBI actually did their job and investigated the mother-fucking-hell out of everyone that was - or wasn't - there that day. By far more than they investigated the BLM riots or CHAZ sedition.

tl;dr more than 93% were peaceful at Jan 6th.

>>1426574
>and
>B)
C)* Derp. muh alphabet.

>>1426574
you sure are a whiny faggot, treason apologist

>>1426574
>that's the same standard the left uses to get that bullshit 93% were peaceful number
No, that's referring to percentage of the protests throughout the country that were peaceful, not any amount of individual protestors.
I think it's very disingenuous to compare the two events. One was a series of thousands of protest throughout the country over several months, the other was the national capital building being stormed. And you really can't compare any amount of people shouting in the street with people breaking in to the capital building, especially with the apparent intent of disrupting our democracy. One is legal, the other is not.

>>1426577
>No, that's referring to percentage of the protests throughout the country that were peaceful, not any amount of individual protestors.
And ACLED backs it up by comparing "involve demonstrators engaging in violence." (btw the raw data 404'd so we can no longer see it)

>>1426574
>53,000 attendees, 1575 arrests, so that's 2.97%
anon standing around cheering in the background while people break into a house isn't exactly innocence. Also before Trump killed it, investigations for further arrest for assaulting cops and breaking and entering were still on-going.

>>1426591
>anon standing around cheering in the background while people break into a house isn't exactly innocence.
Nor is standing around cheering in the background while people throw molotov cocktails into minority-owned small business, and yet they're not counted either.

>>1426593
>Looks at incidents
>Not happening during the actual protests
What a bunch of retards do the night after is not the same as what is happening literally in front of the other people at 1/6. Breaking into the capitol was the goal for most of them.

>>1426594
>Not happening during the actual protests
>"fiery but peaceful protest"
lol

>>1426598
is something funny, floorshitter?

You.

Conservatard "owning the libs," which is all they really do.

Trump has done nothing about immigration.

Who the hell is supposed to believe this? illegal immigration virtually stopped under trump

>>1426605
Oh they did a lot more than that. How about all those police officers you beat with flagpoles? All the random shit you stole from the building? All the random shit you smeared across the walls OF the building?

>>1426610
No fires? No murders?
Sounds like a peaceful BLM march

>>1426611

How about those police officers you shot?
>All the random shit you stole from the building?
All the random buildings you destroyed? (lmao now looting is bad?)

All the random women you raped in the CHAZ zone?

astral levels of projection

Democrats believe in lawlessness we all knew this

>>1426618
why are you so bad at lying though, shill? there's proof in this thread that you brought up both of these topics.

Covid pause. Overall it has increased since Obama.

>>1426631
Do you just love lying or something? Illegal crossing have almost stopped entirely compared to any previous year on record
https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/stats/southwest-land-border-encounters

Trump fixed illegal immigration

>>1426632
Yes, the man who threw public shitfits and fired people who published numbers that made him look bad should be trusted about these numbers provided by a crony that make him look good.
We know you're retarded

>>1426633
This. Trump's numbers cannot be trusted. Especially since they're inconsistent with his own quotas which he fails to meet.

i worry this is just a ploy -like 911 and patriot act- to get more surveillance measures on the population in the name of preventing crime.

>>1426635
Nah, this is about getting more people into prisons so they can abuse prison labor to replace immigrants picking crops.
Shills will somehow explain how underpaying prisoners is fine but paying the same amount to immigrants is killing the American labor force

>>1426633
>>1426634
>>1426636
>NOOO now all the government numbers are fake and can't be trusted

>>1426637
looks like its melty o'clock

Are you going to try to shillsplain why we should trust Trumps numbers despite him throwing a loud shitfit firing everyone who reports bad numbers, or just demand that we all get raped or that we're trannies or whatever your mental illness is telling you today

>>1426633
Were those numbers published before or after he DIDN'T fire anyone at CBP?

>>1426639
>Nooo we can't fire the guy that was cooking the books under Biden
This is how delusional you are

esl shill is projecting yet again

And here he is, making IMAX obsolete again.

it's always nice when esl shill flatters me with his imitations

Whenever leftists get utterly blown the fuck out they fallback to calling people not Americans or ESL. It used to be calling them Ivan.
Honestly part of me is glad their bosses approved a new script for them, the other part of me is rather apathetic that it's just as low effort.

The leftists on this board just flood the zone with shit. That's their job, their calling in life, their raison d'etre

this thread is on track to break a record in projection

>>1426654
You are not white

i'm glad my simple tactic of calling shills what they literally are proven to be such a smashing success. it makes them even angrier when i ignore their posts like this
