SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — The New Mexico State Police and other law enforcement agencies say they're not making traffic stops to enforce a statewide stay-at-home order issued by Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to combat the spread of the coronavirus. The State Police, the Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department and the Las Cruces and Los Lunas police departments made announcements Friday, with several saying they were aware of rumors on social media that officers were stopping drivers to enforce the order. The governor's order includes a stay-home instruction and a ban on large gatherings and calls for residents to refrain from any unnecessary travel or congregation.
