Show Notes

New Mexicos Department of Justice ruled that Otero County violated the state Open Meetings Act by approving a five-year contract renewal with Immigration and Customs Enforcement during an emergency meeting with insufficient public notice. The countys actions contradict a new state law banning local governments from collaborating with federal immigration detention operations. The Justice Department demands a compliance plan, while county leaders plan to challenge the ruling in court.
