New Mexico’s House passed an $11 billion 2026 budget with major investments in education, healthcare, and child care, rejecting payments to counties with ICE facilities.
The New Mexico House passed an $11 billion budget for 2026, boosting recurring spending by 2.7% with major investments in education, healthcare, early childhood programs, and public safety.
The plan includes $60 million for early childhood worker pay, $300 million for water infrastructure, and $50 million for child care assistance, while maintaining a $400 million reserve.
It rejects payments to counties hosting ICE detention centers, aligning with Governor Lujan Grisham’s stance, and introduces copayments for higher-income families in child care to ensure sustainability.
Republicans opposed the budget, pushing for compensation if federal detention centers close, but Democrats rejected the amendments over human rights concerns.
The bill now moves to the Senate.
