On April 8, 2026, U.S. Representative Gabe Vasquez hosted a public safety roundtable in Las Cruces with Police Chief Jeremy Story, Mayor Eric Enriquez, and others to assess progress, identify remaining challenges, and discuss next steps to sustain and expand youth safety initiatives. The release says he has secured resources for local law enforcement, expanded mental health support for young people, and invested in safe spaces for local youth.

Recent official action shows Vasquez continuing to work with local law enforcement on youth safety and policing-related public safety resources, but it does not show a discrete police-reform policy being enacted.

On April 21, 2026, Vasquez sent a letter to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting Director of ICE Todd Lyons demanding answers after an April 6 congressional oversight visit. The release says his staff submitted questions by email on April 9 and ICE answered only one question in its April 15 response, prompting him to ask again for a full response.

This is a concrete accountability push, but it concerns ICE oversight rather than a police-reform measure, so it is at most indirect evidence for the claim.

The release says Vasquez secured over $4.8 million in federal funding for public safety and infrastructure, including $500,000 for Bernalillo County Public Safety Technology Upgrades to upgrade public safety technology and training systems used by the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office and $1,069,000 for the Albuquerque Crime Center Upgrades Project to give law enforcement better tools.

This earlier official action supports the resource and training side of the promise, but it predates the lookback window.
