STRENGTHEN IT. CHANGES TO THE CITY’S IMMIGRANT FRIENDLY POLICY COULD BE
UNDERWAY. WE’RE STRENGTHENING IT. WE NEED TO BE WORKING TOGETHER. IT ALSO STATES
THAT CITY RESOURCES SHALL NOT BE USED TO ASSIST IN ENFORCING FEDERAL IMMIGRATION
LAWS. CITY COUNCILORS BROKE THE SUN AND RENEE GROUPS WILL BE INTRODUCING THE
PROPOSAL AT TONIGHT’S CITY COUNCIL MEETING. ANYBODY IS WELCOME TO COME HERE, BUT
IF THEY’RE COMING HERE UNDER THE WRONG INTENTIONS TO COMMIT A VIOLENT CRIME TO
TRAFFIC IN DRUGS OR IN HUMAN BEINGS, WE DON’T HAVE A PLACE FOR THAT IN OUR
COMMUNITY. AND THEY THEY SHOULDN’T BE HERE. UM, IF THEY CAN’T, UM, CONTRIBUTE IN
A POSITIVE AND GOOD WAY. THE CURRENT POLICY PROHIBITS THE CITY FROM USING ITS
RESOURCES TO IDENTIFY SOMEONE’S IMMIGRATION STATUS, OR TAKE THEM INTO CUSTODY
SOLELY BECAUSE OF THAT STATUS. IF IT PASSES, THE AMENDED POLICY WILL NO LONGER
APPLY TO THOSE CHARGED WITH VIOLENT FELONIES. HUMAN TRAFFICKING OR TRAFFICKING
OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES. FENTANYL IS A REAL PROBLEM IN OUR COUNTRY AND IN OUR
CITY, AND IT’S CONTRIBUTED TO SO MUCH OF THE CRIME THAT WE’RE SEEING. WE’VE GOT
TO STOP IT. IT’S NOT GETTING BETTER. AND, UM, THIS IS THIS IS ONE TOOL THAT CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE. GOES ON TO SAY THE CITY’S COMMITMENT TO INTEGRATION AND
INCLUSION REMAINS THE SAME. WE SHOULD BE WELCOMING TO, UM,

Video above: City councilors Renee Grout and Brook Bassan are proposing changes
to Albuquerque's 'Immigrant Friendly Policy.' Both councilors will be
introducing the amended policy at Monday's city council meeting on May 6, 2024.
The current policy prohibits municipal resources from being used to identify
individuals' immigration status or apprehend persons solely on the basis of
immigration status unless otherwise required by law. If it passes, the amended
policy will no longer apply to those charged with violent felonies, human
trafficking or trafficking of controlled substances. Stay up-to-date: The latest
headlines from KOAT Action 7 News"We got to stop it. It's not getting any
better. This is one tool that can make a difference. Fentanyl is a real problem
in our country and in our city and it's contributed to so much of our crime that
we're seeing. We should be welcoming to immigrants from wherever they come, but
they have to be abiding by the law," City Councilor Renee Grout said. "Anybody
is welcomed to come here, but if they're coming here under the wrong intentions
to commit a violent crime, trafficking drugs or human beings, we don't have a
place for that in our community and they shouldn't be here if they can't
contribute in a positive and good way."Mayor Tim Keller's Office Statement“We
want criminals behind bars, not set free from our criminal justice system.
Deportation actually eliminates the possibility of victims and their families
getting justice. We shouldn’t erode trust with victims and their families, so
that they feel safe calling law enforcement to protect them without fear of
deportation.” — Ava Montoya, mayor's officeA spokesperson for Grout told KOAT,
