KOAT legal expert John Day weighed in on the legalities as well as what this could potentially mean for the state of New Mexico. KOAT also reached out to Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s office following concerns.
“We haven’t seen anything in New Mexico that’s anything at all like what’s going on in Los Angeles, a lot of legal issues involved. President Trump’s use of the National Guard and nationalizing them, in other words, bringing them into federal control without the governor’s permission or consent, is an interesting issue,” KOAT legal expert John Day said.
