Albuquerque saw a busy week of crime and public safety news, including arrests made in the April Main Event entertainment center murder [1], a federal conviction for a career violent criminal on fentanyl distribution charges [2], and a hit-and-run crash that critically injured a bicyclist — with the driver later charged after calling 911 from home [3]. On the political front, the Trump administration filed a lawsuit against Governor Lujan Grisham, Mayor Tim Keller, and the New Mexico Attorney General over the state's Immigrant Safety Act [4], while the governor drew scrutiny for a taxpayer-funded trade mission to Japan [5].
