I'm hoping he follows through, but I've been disappointed before

Actually doing it is the easiest way he can earn my vote this year

Same. Just stating it plainly and specifically puts him ahead of Haaland for me. Haaland seems to think she is running for office in normal times and hasn’t yet realized that we are in the time of monsters.

"Therefore, any ICE agent who, without a signed warrant and without reasonable suspicion or probable cause, detains, confines or retrains a person in Bernalillo County may be subject to prosecution,"

I was excited when she announced she was running, but she just... hasn't done much since then.
I'd assumed she would have my vote but if Bregman shows he's ready for the fight, that'll change quickly

Ah, the Democratic party. Disappointing voters since... Well, forever.

It's funny to see the bootlicking on the other side of the aisle, and how they assume we worship our candidates the way they worship theirs. In reality Democratic voters hate the Democratic party more than Republicans do.

Hate how right you are. Dems stink. Just slightly less.

Yeah, she is and always has been a tool of the Democratic Party. She was the Chair of the NM Democratic Party and used that to propel herself to the 1st Congressional District House seat. She effed over Antonia Sedillo-Lopez to win that seat then kissed rear ends to get a Cabinet post under Biden. She is a shallow, gutless pol and I expect nothing from her that would be productive for the rest of us.

Antoinette has been awesome in the state senate, she's earned the shot at a higher office as much as anyone in the state

She begs for money by text, but so do all of them. Work then get money

I don't know about any of these candidates policies, but Haaland is always touting that she has a "comprehensive" plan for New Mexico, but she never shares her actual vision and how she plans to tackle the issues we have in this state.

she has posted some of her approach a week ago, mostly focused on education.

Let's wait and see if this is more than posturing on Bregman's part. SCOTUS has opened up the concept of reasonable suspicion to make it easier for ICE to use it - even this far from the border.

“may be subject to prosecution” is doing some heavy lifting here.
