SANTA FE — Today, Senator Ron Griggs (R-Alamogordo) and Senator Bill Burt (R-Alamogordo) lead the effort to table Senate Bill 172 (SB 172). SB 172 would have prohibited law enforcement agencies and officials, along with units of state or local governments, from entering into or renewing any type of agreement, including intergovernmental service agreements, to house or detain individuals for federal civil immigration violations. The bill was ultimately defeated by the Senate with an 18-20 vote. All Republicans and several Democrats voted against it.
