New Mexico's governor signed a bill allowing individuals with work authorization from USCIS to become police officers and sheriffs, expanding the pool of eligible candidates and aiming to address staffing shortages in law enforcement.
Previously, only U.S. citizens could hold these roles.
Over 51,000 New Mexicans, including Dreamers and legal permanent residents, are now eligible for law enforcement positions.
The new law maintains the same vetting and standards for all candidates.
