I moved to my property just before GW came to power in 2001. I live
100m
from the Rio Grande (between Pojoaque and Los Alamos) which was the
ancient
border of the Republic of Texas... I felt I could always "run for
the
border" if I had to.
I understand that 85 individuals have been rounded up in NM by ICE.
I
think overall and per-capita that is a small number as these things
go. I
have not had the courage to try to reach any of the several people I
know
whose immigration status is ambiguous... I don't think they need
any
extra attention right now. My two closest acquaintances from that
world
obtained permanent resident status after roughly 20 years of effort
(including birthing two children) various status and a lot of cash
(roughly
$20k each in lawyers fees). They are not first or second line
at-risk but
maybe third or fourth, given that we already see (Kahlil Mahmoud,
etc.)
others being rounded up and bounced without due process.
The governor seems pretty adamant about trying to stand up against
this
kind of nonsense but her political capital is somewhat at-risk as
well with
big money oil&gas (and other industrial development) interests
trying to
under mine all Democrats in the state.
I drove through the Nambe Tesla sales/service lot again today... no
evidence of any vandalism in spite of the location being very
exposed by
many measures and a lot of traffic right next door with the Nambe
Pueblo
Visitor center and filling station. I didn't count or identify
vehicles
on the lot, but it looked like the same 6 cybertrucks and at least a
dozen
more 3, Y, X models.... there is a "back line" of chargers
(smaller than
conventional superchargers?) with 1 cybertruck and several other
passenger
cars plugged in, a few empty slots. I assume these are open for
general
public Tesla owners, but are maybe only there to support the
Sales/Service
effort?
Given the kinds of antagonism MAGA has levied against native
populations/nations I would expect a widespread resistance rising
against
Trump, et-al. I saw a short clip indicating that the Ogalala tribe
in OK
called up their war-chief and effectively declared War on DOGE in
response
to their BIA offices/funding being closed out.
Are you (REC) living in/near Las Cruces these days (years)?

I wonder if Trump is planning to declare New Mexico a failed govt
and
attempt a federal takeover. Militarized the southern border. Mass
shooting in Las Cruces shows inability to maintain law and order.
It's a
sh*thole state that never voted for him. It's a small state in
population
isolated from Democratic strongholds.
Whether he succeeds or not doesn't really matter to him, it's the
joy of
bullying and the screams of the bullied that turn him on.
