<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]These bills in the NM Legislature help to protect immigrants from deportation:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) SB 36 “Sensitive Personal Information Non-Disclosure Act” prohibits state employees (most importantly at the MVD) from disclosing personal information, including immigrant status.<\/p>\n

2) SB 250 “State Enforcement of Immigration Law” which bars state & local agencies from dedicating any public resources to federal immigration enforcement. (Republicans have put forward an opposing bill that prohibits this ban)<\/p>\n

3) SB 177 “U-Visa Certification” which requires law enforcement personnel to certify undocumented victims of crime (giving them U-Visa status).[\/vc_column_text]

<\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]The NM Immigrant Law Center is promoting an “Immigrant Safety” bill<\/strong> (based on the Dignity not Detention laws in other states) to be carried by Christine Chandler & Eleanor Chavez, but is not named in any registry of bills.
