Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday signed most of the legislation passed during this week’s special session of the New Mexico Legislature, according to a news release from her office.
The special session, the first of 2025, was called by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to address a sweeping list of topics including the state’s efforts to account for federal funding cuts enacted July 4 when President Donald Trump signed a spending bill known by supporters as the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
The investigation by the Bureau of Land Management began in June 2025, when special agents received a tip that the men were using a vacuum truck to pump oil out of the lines owned by Plains All American Pipeline, storing it at a facility in Carlsbad and driving it to Texas for sale.
