#nmpol @MayorKeller @GovMLG TRUMP ADMINISTRATION’S “OPERATION LEGEND” MAKING A POWERFUL IMPACT AND NETTING ARRESTS IN ALBUQUERQUE

FEDERAL AUTHORITIES COLLAR 35 SUSPECTS IN ALBUQUERQUE AS PART OF INITIATIVE TO CLEAN UP VIOLENT CRIME IN CITIES

ALBUQUERQUE, SEPTEMBER 4 —
Statistics show that Operation Legend, the federal initiative aimed at cracking down on violent crime in a handful of cities, is working. Authorities say since July federal agents have made more than 2,000 arrests in the program. Albuquerque is among eight targeted
crime-infested cities.

U.S. Attorney General William Barr has called Operation Legend “a sustained, systematic and coordinated law enforcement initiative in which federal law enforcement agencies work in conjunction with state and local law enforcement officials to fight
violent crime.” And it’s getting results.

In Albuquerque, where crime has gotten out of control, 35 individuals have been arrested so far and charged with various offenses.

A federal update on Operation Legend shows that 15 defendants have been arrested and face
narcotics-related offenses, 14 individuals have been charged with firearms-related offenses and 6 people have been charged with other violent crimes.

“These striking results prove that the Trump Administration is serious about eradicating violent crime in our dangerous cities,”
said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce. “President Trump is committed to fighting crime and keeping law and order in our communities. The federal agents who arrived in Albuquerque are truly making a difference in a city where violent crime has soared.
Mayor Keller and others had denounced President Trump’s plan to deploy agents to Albuquerque, but these arrests demonstrate that Washington is clearly helping to sweep dangerous felons off the streets.” #nmpol @threadreaderapp Unroll

Statement by RPNM: “Today’s ruling is another disappointing setback in the call for equal protection under the law. The Lujan Grisham Administration’s ban on in-house dining is not supported by facts or science in any way and is arbitrary and capricious.
This is another example of the Administration exceeding its authority and the High Court accepting it. The ruling manifests the important need for change at the polls this November, including the judiciary.” This statement fails to mention the gravity of the damage caused
to Due Process. I watched the hearing. Me and 700 +/- of my friends. The attorneys who presented the case for the restaurants did a good job. They laid out the criteria in the law that the governor must follow when she finds a SICK person and how she is supposed to proceed to

Found this comment in a conservative blog, quoted in part. Seeking confirmation.
THE CITY OF SUNLAND PARK HAS SUCCESSFULLY DECLARED THEMSELVES THEIR OWN SEPARATE JURISDICTION!! “CHOP”, “CHAP” OR WHATEVER!
Now we have a huge development on our main road in Santa Teresa, NM, Country Club Road, and no one knows a thing about it!
Upon contacting Dona Ana County building services, they tell me..
“We don’t know what that is…That’s Sunland Park AND THEY’RE THEIR OWN JURISDICTION….”
I then ask them “You mean that they don’t need to undergo the county subdivision approval process before building some gigantic project??”

“Nope, no”, they respond.

“Are they PART OF DONA ANA COUNTY? DOMICILED THERE?”

“Well, yes, but they’re their own jurisdiction.”

Rock solid @Pearce4NM: DOOR KNOCKING COMMENTS REVEAL DEMOCRATS ON THE RUN

ALBUQUERQUE, JULY 30 — The following is a statement from Republican Party of New Mexico Chairman Steve Pearce after today’s Public Health Order update from Gov. Lujan Grisham:
"Today the governor blatantly made the Public Health Order political. During her press conference, the governor denounced candidates for going door to door, taking away our freedom of speech and right to seek votes. The Democrats are running scared. Now the governor wants to
benefit their inactive candidates by outlawing campaigning! Yet she allows protests in the streets. Instead of addressing the real needs of New Mexicans, Gov. Lujan Grisham also blamed the Trump Administration and attacked Washington politicians for having no plan.
