LAS CRUCES 鈥� Do帽a Ana County commissioners unanimously voted Tuesday to update a 12-year-old 鈥渟afe communities鈥� resolution with new guidance protecting immigrant and blended communities in their interactions with county government.

Reflecting changes in immigration enforcement since 2014, the update includes new language separating county services and personnel from federal enforcement actions amid the Trump administration鈥檚 immigration crackdown.

The resolution instructs county employees to respect the rights of all residents, regardless of immigration status, and precludes county staff or resources from assisting in federal immigration enforcement.

鈥淭his resolution is really about creating a safe environment for people to interact with Do帽a Ana County and our employees,鈥� Deputy County Attorney Cari Neill said. 鈥淲e want to ensure that everyone is being treated equally and fairly.鈥�

County staff as well as attendees from the community of Chaparral said the updated resolution will help keep communities stable and serve public safety by easing community members鈥� fears of contacting emergency agencies, accessing schools or health clinics, reporting crimes or benefiting from services 鈥� fears speakers said affected citizens and legal residents as well as those unable to produce documentation or waiting for immigration proceedings.

State Rep. Sarah Silva, a Las Cruces Democrat whose district includes Chaparral, told commissioners of reports in the small unincorporated community of unmarked vehicles prowling the community and schools, discouraging attendance and the use of surveillance cameras in public spaces by federal authorities.

鈥淲e are here as a county to serve our residents. It is not about checking immigration status,鈥� County Chairman Manny Sanchez said.

Although the sheriff鈥檚 office typically does not gather information on civil immigration status to provide to federal authorities, local authorities may notify U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under some circumstances, according to an information packet provided to commissioners.

Since October, New Mexico鈥檚 two largest cities, Albuquerque and Las Cruces, as well as Bernalillo County have taken similar actions to extend protections and welcome immigrants in local government spaces and emergency services.

New Mexico enacted a law this year, taking effect May 20, preventing public bodies from contracting with federal authorities to hold civil immigration detainees. The U.S. Department of Justice has sued to block enforcement of the law, called the Immigrant Safety Act.

No one from the public spoke in opposition to the Do帽a Ana County resolution, while members of the clergy, community organizations and county residents applauded the action.

Sister Isabel Galbe of Chaparral told commissioners that while some in her community were more afraid of taking meals at the community center and accessing other services, residents had also found strength in banding together.

鈥淚 am extremely proud to find in myself the faces of the people of Chaparral that has been affected by the negative impact of these unruly, unwanted visits from people outside of the community,鈥� she said.
