Hundreds of people marched around the state capitol building in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Jan. 24 to protest Gov. Susana Martinez’s efforts to repeal a 2003 law that allows immigrants to get a driver’s license without proof of legal residence. The Immigrant Day of Action was organized by Somos Un Pueblo Unido. Sponsors included the New Mexico Conference of Catholic Bishops, Communication Workers of America Local 7076 and the NAACP.

New Mexico is one of only three states that does not require proof of legal residence to get a license. Since taking office a year ago, Martinez has pushed three times for the legislature to reverse this, sparking statewide protests.
