New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) signed a bill Wednesday ending qualified immunity for all government workers, including police. New Mexico is the first state to end qualified immunity for all public employees.
"The measure allows a person to litigate any deprivation of those rights [secured by the bill of rights of the constitution of New Mexico], privileges or immunities and prohibits the use of qualified immunity as a defense for depriving a person of those constitutional civil rights," Lujan Grisham said in a statement.
