Michelle Lujan Grisham’s plan to deploy between 60 and 70 National Guard troops to assist the Albuquerque Police starting mid-May is a show of force that risks civil rights violations and further criminalizes homelessness—critics say the measure ignores the root causes of public safety issues. The governor said the troops will support hospital transport and security while only a select few may engage in direct policing. Source NM
