Just a week after filing new documentation alleging New Mexico Corrections Department probation officers’ widespread coordination with federal immigration officers, the State Ethics Commission on Friday announced it was proceeding with a lawsuit against Corrections Secretary Alisha Tafoya Lucero.

The new lawsuit, brought under a state law passed in 2025 prohibiting such coordination, marks a more direct approach to forcing the Corrections Department to cease the practice, SEC Deputy Director Amelia Bierle told Source NM on Friday.
