SANTA FE – Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Wednesday named five New Mexicans to the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force, effective immediately.
The task force, established by the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Task Force Act, will collaborate with tribal governments, tribal law enforcement and the U.S. Department of Justice to determine the scope of the problem, identify barriers and create partnerships to improve processes for reporting and investigating cases.
