Defending New Mexicans' freedom since 1962 🌶️
Police officers have repeatedly used Flock's surveillance network to access data about people they know and track their whereabouts. This is indefensible, warrantless surveillance.
People with disabilities aren’t asking for the world — we’re only asking that our elected leaders treat us with dignity and make policy decisions that follow the law and ensure access for people with disabilities. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live and work freely.
In our July virtual action call, we'll share critical updates about our new report on ICE and CBP’s abuses and how to take action to rein them in. RSVP Now: act.aclu.org/a/2026-july-...
Federal agents are abusing people in the streets. Our new report, Agents of Chaos and Cruelty, goes over the egregious patterns we found while analyzing 1,200+ incidents related to immigration enforcement from last year.
Too many people have lost their lives due to ICE's violence and negligence. These devastating tragedies are a predictable result of President Trump and Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant campaign. Tell our leaders in Congress to stop enabling ICE's violence: action.aclu.org/send-message...
The NMEntiende cohort is launching "Crafty Convos," a pilot initiative designed to bring New Mexicans together over snacks and crafts to have respectful, meaningful discussions about religion and politics. www.nmentiende.org/news/nmentie...
Our country was founded on the guarantee that we’re all born equal with certain inalienable rights. We won't let any president, or anyone, get away with attacking it.
Before the NMCRA, people with legitimate civil rights cases were forced into federal court, where qualified immunity often shut the courthouse doors before a victim ever had a real chance to be heard.
As the U.S. Supreme Court erodes well-settled rights one by one, the New Mexico Civil Rights Act stands as a critical safeguard to our rights in New Mexico. As we celebrate its 5th anniversary, we're thankful for the extensive protections it offers us.
Five years ago, we said that when people in positions of power violate our rights, New Mexicans deserve a meaningful way to hold them accountable. With the federal rollback of civil rights and liberties ongoing, this piece of legislation has been substantial in safeguarding our rights.
Our partners are building a new sexual health and reproductive center in the southern parts of New Mexico. Read more on the NMEntiende website!
This Pride Month, we know that our joy is at the heart of our resistance. We’re fighting for the freedom to be who we are, not who politicians want us to be.
Our lives. Our families. Our futures. The LGBTQ community has always fought for our right to exist freely. This Pride Month and every other month of the year, we’re protesting the government’s attacks on our rights and celebrating our joy.
UPDATE: Yesterday, the Supreme Court preserved nationwide access via pharmacy and mail to mifepristone, a safe and effective medication used in most abortions and for miscarriage care.
BREAKING: Yesterday, a court ruled that Jesse Tooker must be released after 31 years in prison, affirming New Mexico's Second Chance law.
The Supreme Court granted a one-week hold on a decision restricting mail and pharmacy access to mifepristone, a safe and effective medication used in abortion and miscarriage care. The case will now go on the court’s emergency docket. They must end this attack on our reproductive freedom.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY 🚨 The New Mexico Habeas Project seeks attorneys to provide pro bono habeas representation in federal court. Volunteer attorneys are not required to have prior experience in habeas litigation or immigration law.
Birthright citizenship is a fundamental, constitutional guarantee. We went to the Supreme Court to preserve the promise of the 14th Amendment.
The First Amendment is fundamental to our democracy, whether or not President Trump likes it. We will defend it with everything we've got.
If these arrests continued at this pace, the number of parents in detention will have doubled by now. ICE must stop ripping families apart — tell Congress at the link in our bio to rein in ICE's abuses.
For more than a century, the Supreme Court has affirmed the 14th Amendment right that guarantees children born in the United States are citizens. The Supreme Court must not cower to the president’s will and must, once again, affirm that all children born in the USA are Americans.
On this Trans Day of Visibility, we celebrate all of our trans community members. Visibility matters. And so does action to support transgender people. We'll never stop fighting to make New Mexico a place where ALL OF US belong.
New Mexico won't back down in the face of the Trump administration's authoritarian overreach.
This Saturday! There are multiple events around the state. Be sure to check out www.nokings.org to learn more.
UPDATE: This settlement is a milestone in New Mexico and the nation. We must do everything in our power at the state, county, and city levels to prevent other people in New Mexico from ending up in a dangerous detention facility like the one where Kesley lost his life.
Victory! The Albuquerque Safer Community Places Ordinance passed last night! Immigrants are at the heart of New Mexico's economy. Nearly two out of every five small businesses in New Mexico are owned by immigrants.
