New Mexico governor mobilizes National Guard to tackle crime in Albuquerque

- duxup 2y ago>Medina and Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller pointed to a large chart during a news conference, saying nearly every category of crime has come down since the beginning of the year because of the work already being done by the police force. If true ... is this just a publicity stunt?
- foxyv 2y agoThere is a theory going around that this is an attempt to preempt Trump from using the New Mexico National Guard. As I understand it, after 2008, once the Governor has deployed them, the President can no longer take them over. But, as with all legal matters, this is a big confusing mess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2007#Amendment_to_Section_1076_of_the_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization...
