ALBUQUERQUE, MARCH 6—Today, the New Mexico Supreme Court issued a 3-2 split decision in Amdor v. Grisham, upholding most of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham's sweeping public health emergency orders from 2023 while striking down the suspension of the Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI).
The Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM), alongside Republican legislators and gun rights advocates, filed this lawsuit in September 2023 to challenge the Governor's unconstitutional overreach, including her attempt to ban the legal carrying of firearms in public spaces under the guise of a "public health emergency." While the orders have expired, this ruling sets a dangerous precedent, particularly as it comes just as the state legislature is debating new gun rights legislation.
