The governor of New Mexico is asking the U.S. Justice Department to deploy more federal agents to the state in the aftermath of the shooting death of an 11-year-old boy outside a minor league baseball stadium. New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Thursday sent a letter U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland requesting aid in efforts to stemand human trafficking. The governor says she has repeatedly requested federal law enforcement deployments since June 2022.
An 11-year-old was killed and a woman critically injured Wednesday as their vehicle was peppered with bullets in an apparent road-rage incident, as crowds departed an evening baseball game, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina said. The governor said federal resources are needed to help curb"escalating violence and drug and human-trafficking activity that is ravaging our great state." She also issued an emergency health order that taps into $750,000 to shore up public safety.
