Senator Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., has announced his support of New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s call for a federal investigation into conditions at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities in New Mexico.

In his statement Oct. 30, Heinrich said, “The deeply troubling reports of mistreatment and poor conditions at ICE detention facilities warrant a federal investigation. We need to get to the bottom of what’s taking place at these facilities and ensure anyone held in ICE’s custody is treated humanely and in accordance to the law.”
