The New Mexico Department of Justice announced it has secured $885 million through lawsuits filed against the former Trump administration.
The recovery stems from a series of legal actions the state pursued after the 2020 election, targeting alleged mismanagement and policy violations that impacted New Mexico. The DOJ said the funds will be directed to state programs.
Officials indicated the money will support education and infrastructure projects, and the department plans to keep monitoring for additional recoveries. Further details on allocation are expected soon.
