Governor says she'd be willing to work with federal officers but timing is 'suspect'
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said she might be willing to work with federal officers to combat crime in the state if they are cooperative with local efforts, but cautioned that protecting the First Amendment rights of New Mexico's residents remains a focus.
"If we are cooperatively working to address violent crime and gun violence -- absolutely," she told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos on "This Week" Sunday. "If we're going to try to incentivize unrest than that's something all together different."
Lujan Grisham said that New Mexico requested federal agents to assist with police and crime investigations earlier in the administration and was not provided with funding.
"So the timing of their efforts remains to be a bit suspect," Lujan Grisham said.
