New Mexico to launch Turquoise Alert for missing Native Americans

New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is expected to sign a bill creating the Turquoise Alert System, designed to quickly share information about missing Native Americans through law enforcement and media channels. The system, set to launch July 1, will function similarly to Amber and Silver alerts. New Mexico will become the fourth state to implement such a system, joining Colorado, California, and Washington.
