    The Justice Department filed a lawsuit today against the New Mexico Supreme Court and the New Mexico Board of Bar Examiners, alleging that they violated the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) by refusing to recognize the out-of-state law licenses of qualifying servicemembers
    Transcribed Text:  PRESS RELEASE  DOJ Sues New Mexico Supreme Court and Board of Bar Examiners for Violating the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act  JUNE 11, 2026
    Transcribed Text:  Our military servicemembers and their families bear great burdens to protect our Nation, including frequent moves and interruptions or barriers to employment. In fact, spousal unemployment is a leading cause of servicemembers leaving military service and is a significant readiness and retention issue. This lawsuit highlights the fact that license portability is a critical tool for our military spouses to be able to earn a living in the manner of their choosing.  RYAN ELLISON F.A.

    F.A. United States Attorney Ryan Ellison is encouraging local leaders in Albuquerque and Las Cruces to pursue funding through the Department of Justice's Model City Initiative, a new public safety grant program that will provide up to $300 million to support crime reduction and
    Transcribed Text:  "F.A. UNITED STATES ATTORNEY RYAN ELLISON ENCOURAGES ALBUQUERQUE AND LAS CRUCES TO APPLY FOR MODEL CITY INITIATIVE PUBLIC SAFETY FUNDING"  “The stakes are too high for Albuquerque and Las Cruces to pass up this historic public safety funding opportunity. I strongly encourage leaders in both cities to submit competitive applications. There’s no reason that Albuquerque and Las Cruces cannot work with the Federal Government to crack down on violent crime and enhance public safety. I’m extending a hand of partnership to these cities, and I stand ready to advocate on their behalf in Washington.”

    Three New Mexico men have been charged with operating a years’ long scheme to fraudulently obtain and sell New Mexico elk hunting tags to out of state hunters and conceal the proceeds from the IRS. 🔗 justice.gov/usao-nm/pr/thr…
    Transcribed Text:  PRESS RELEASE Three New Mexico Men Charged in Elk Tag Fraud and Tax Conspiracy Scheme JUNE 8, 2026
    Transcribed Text:  As a hunter, I know it’s extraordinarily difficult for New Mexico residents to draw elk tags. In fact, many New Mexicans who apply annually wait years—sometimes decades—to draw a coveted tag and win the opportunity to fill their freezer with elk. Fraudsters who illegally rig the system and make it more difficult for New Mexicans to hunt elk in their own state will be aggressively prosecuted and held fully accountable. Ryan Ellison F.A.
