New Mexico Democrat governor's sweeping gun order hits major temporary roadblock

A federal judge in New Mexico issued a temporary restraining order against key parts of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s executive order suspending open and concealed carry in Albuquerque and the surrounding county.

A federal judge in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has issued a temporary restraining order blocking key parts of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s executive order suspending open and concealed carry across Albuquerque and the surrounding Bernalillo County for at least 30 days.

U.S. District Court Judge David Urias issued the order on Wednesday, blocking the portion of the order that prohibits lawful gun owners from carrying their guns in public for 30 days, ruling that it's not enforceable.

"The violation of a constitutional right, even for minimal periods of time, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury," Urias said during the hearing.

The temporary restraining order will remain in effect until at least Oct. 3, when the next hearing is scheduled.

NEW MEXICO ATTORNEY GENERAL WON'T DEFEND GOVERNOR'S GUN ORDER

Grisham announced on Sept. 7 that she needed to respond to recent gun-related deaths, which include an 11-year-old boy who was shot and killed while outside a minor league baseball stadium. Six different lawsuits were filed against the executive order.

Urias was appointed by President Biden.

The suspension of open and concealed carry in the defined area was classified as an emergency public health order.
