Doña Ana County Sheriff Kim Stewart joined co-hosts Walt Rubel and Daisy Maldonado to reflect on a recent series of listening sessions held across the county, revealing stark differences in public safety needs from community to community. Stewart described severe service gaps in places like Hatch, where police and fire coverage has been sharply reduced, and explained how those conversations prompted immediate changes in county enforcement support. Much of the discussion focused on immigration enforcement, with Stewart outlining her refusal to participate in federal programs such as Stonegarden while emphasizing cooperation with federal agencies. The conversation also explored protest policing, de-escalation, and the leadership challenges facing local law enforcement in a time of national unrest and rapid policy change.
