Jordan Haverly, a spokesman for Herrell, dismissed the effort, calling it “meaningless.”
“It’s sad this is how the Las Cruces City Council chose to spend their week. Why weren’t they preparing for the immigration and funding crisis headed their way thanks to President Biden’s executive actions,” he said in an email. “Congresswoman Herrell remains focused on what matters to New Mexicans – their safety, their jobs, and their children’s futures. Instead of meaningless resolutions, she’s introduced legislation to keep essential border health protocols in place and to protect our state’s jobs and public education system.”
