A state lawmaker is pushing a measure that would prevent the New Mexico National Guard from performing federal immigration operations.
Bill McCamley, a Mesilla Park Democrat, introduced his bill Friday after The Associated Press reported the Trump administration drafted a proposal to mobilize National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants.
A draft memo obtained by The Associated Press showed the Trump administration considered mobilizing as many as 100,000 National Guard troops to round up unauthorized immigrants. Millions of those who would be affected in 11 states, including New Mexico.
A Department of Homeland Security official described the memo as an early draft that was not seriously considered.
McCamley's measure also would ban the New Mexico National Guard from using resources and funding for federal immigration enforcement.

New Mexico's Catholic Bishops say a Trump administration proposal to use National Guard troops to round up immigrants would be a "declaration of some form of war."
