Sheriff Manny Gonzales is a disgrace to our community. He's coordinating to bring Trump's Gestapo to Albuquerque.
Manny Must Resign. Sign the petition:
New Mexico will continue its tradition of respect and compassion, ensuring that the full spectrum of reproductive health care–including abortion care–is accessible.

ABQ Police sent an entire SWAT team to "resolve" a warrant for someone accused of violating parole. During that event, a teenager died from the smoke from a fire started by SWAT. AND, the destroyed home has left a family homeless.

Couy Griffin was ready to cry today as Otero County residents repeatedly laughed at him for claiming that his actions on Jan 6 were on their behalf. His fellow commissioners then voted against taxpayers covering his legal costs.
