New Mexico Republicans launch tipline

New Mexico Senate Republicans have introduced a tipline for reporting federal actions targeting legal residents, amid growing concerns from tribal communities about ICE questioning their members. The Mescalero Apache Tribe reported an incident where an ICE agent questioned a tribal member, raising concerns over racial profiling and violations of tribal sovereignty. The state's Congressional delegation condemned such actions, calling for protection of tribal sovereignty and recognition of tribal IDs as proof of citizenship.
