Santa Fe, NM — Today, the Republican Party of New Mexico Headquarters in Albuquerque was targeted via an arson attack. Thankfully reports indicate no one was injured as a result of this politically motivated violence. In response, the Senate Republican Leadership team have issued the following joint statement:

"We condemn all acts of political violence and domestic terrorism. The targeted firebombing of our Republican Party Headquarters is disgraceful and those responsible must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. Our political and legislative process must be engaged through civil discourse and respectful debate. Actions such as these further divide New Mexicans and seek to completely undermine the very foundations of how we govern ourselves. In the wake of a prominent Democrat official calling for her supporters to be 'agitators,' it appears some unhinged supporters took the message to heart and acted out in a violent manner. Democrats must turn down the rhetoric and restore civility to our political process."

ALBUQUERQUE, MARCH 30—Early this morning, the entryway of the Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters in Albuquerque was destroyed in a deliberate act of arson which also included spray painting the words 'ICE=KKK.' This horrific attack, fueled by hatred and intolerance, is a direct assault on our values, freedoms, and our right to political expression.

This is not an isolated incident. It is part of a disturbing pattern of politically motivated violence that has plagued our country—fueled in part by the silence and implicit encouragement from progressive leaders who refuse to condemn these acts. Their failure to stand against political violence has created an environment where attacks like this are not only possible but increasingly frequent.

"We are deeply relieved that no one was harmed in what could have been a tragic and deadly attack. Those who resort to violence to undermine our state and nation must be held accountable, and our state leaders must reinforce through decisive action that these cowardly attacks will not be tolerated," said Republican Party of New Mexico Chairwoman Amy Barela.

Lincoln County, NM– On March 27th, 2025, the New Mexico State Police Investigations Bureau arrested a man on multiple charges of child sexual abuse after an investigation that began in 2024.

On December 11, 2024, NMSP agents were contacted about multiple alleged incidents of criminal sexual contact at the Mountain View Christian Academy in Ruidoso. The suspect was identified as Devin Henderson (23) of Ruidoso.

Agents learned that eight children, ages 10 and under, reported that Henderson inappropriately touched them on more than one occasion while attending his computer class. Investigation Bureau Agents attended forensic interviews of the children and learned Henderson would also show them explicit photographs of himself on his cell phone.

Statewide, NM - State Police will be conducting sobriety checkpoints, saturation patrols; and registration, insurance, and driver's license checkpoints in all New Mexico counties during April 2025.

We are bringing awareness to these events to reduce impaired driving-related fatalities through continued media attention and intensive advertising.

These checkpoints are helping to change society's attitude about driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or drugs.

March is Women's History Month—a time to honor the courageous, visionary, and trailblazing women who shaped the culture and communities of New Mexico.
