The sheriff of New Mexico’s largest county said over the weekend that he won’t enforce the state’s public health order, calling the governor’s restrictive measures unconstitutional.

In a video posted on YouTube, Sheriff Manny Gonzales said the Bernalillo County, where Albuquerque, New Mexico’s largest city, is located, has seen “more than its fair share of personal hardships and devastation” amid the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic.
