"New Mexico Man Admits to Targeting Democrats' Homes in Drive-By Attacks"

A New Mexico man has pleaded guilty to carrying out drive-by shootings targeting the homes of Democrats after being hired by a failed Republican candidate who claimed election fraud. The attacks followed the candidate's defeat in the 2022 state legislature race, and no one was injured. The candidate, Solomon Peña, has pleaded not guilty and awaits trial, while the man who carried out the shootings, Demetrio Trujillo, faces several years in prison. The case highlights concerns about political violence and election interference, and since the shootings, New Mexico lawmakers have passed legislation to address such intimidation.
