"Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham Addresses Press in Conference"

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has narrowed an order that suspended the right to carry firearms in and around Albuquerque, limiting it to public parks and playgrounds where children and families gather. This comes after a federal judge blocked part of the order, and amid mounting criticism and legal challenges from gun-rights advocates. The updated public health order also includes provisions related to staffing and screenings for incarcerated individuals, ensuring timely alcohol and drug treatment, and achieving behavioral health network adequacy. The governor's initial order, which was deemed unconstitutional, had faced opposition from Republican lawmakers, influential Democrats, civil rights leaders, and the state's Attorney General. The governor's order affects anyone in Bernalillo County, the state's most populous county and home to Albuquerque.

"Governor's Silence on Hunter Biden's Gun Charges Raises Questions Amidst Push for Stricter Gun Control"

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham has remained silent on the federal gun charges against Hunter Biden while attempting to implement a ban on open and concealed carry in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Hunter Biden was indicted on charges related to making false statements in the purchase of a firearm and possession of a firearm by an unlawful user of a controlled substance. Lujan Grisham's gun ban was temporarily blocked by a judge, who issued a restraining order, stating that it violated constitutional rights. The governor, however, remains committed to addressing gun violence and plans to update the public health order with additional measures. Republican state representatives are calling for Lujan Grisham's impeachment.

New Mexico Governor Warns of Impending National Abortion Ban

New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham expressed concern that the US is moving towards a national ban on abortion, as state legislatures and courts continue to restrict access to abortion. She recently signed two bills into law protecting abortion providers and guaranteeing access to reproductive and gender-affirming care. Lujan Grisham emphasized the need to protect all access to abortion medication, rather than just stockpiling the abortion pill. The New Mexico legislation she signed puts no restrictions on when during a pregnancy a woman can get an abortion.
