Hello Albuquerque,
Many community members have shared their fears and concerns about the
White House’s recent orders on immigration. We want to remind our
community that Albuquerque is, and will continue to be, an immigrant
friendly city that appreciates and celebrates our immigrant community.
City law says that city employees, including police, are not allowed to
ask about or document immigration status. Trump's policies are still
deeply concerning. We believe everyone in our city should be able to
report crimes and take their kids to school, church, or the hospital
without fear of having their family torn apart.
To help provide information and resources, the City of Albuquerque is
hosting a series of webinars to support community members and business
owners as they navigate immigration threats.
If you or someone you know is facing difficulties or has questions about
your rights, our Office of Immigrant and Refugee Affairs (OIRA) has
resources available online at cabq.gov/OIRA, where you can find information, guides, and connect with local organizations who can help.
During these times, let’s keep looking out for each other and caring for
one another in the One Albuquerque spirit. I hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
Mayor Tim Keller
