Councilor Rogers on National Guard’s Six Months in Albuquerque

February 27, 2026

2.27.26 – Last year, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham sent about 70 National Guard troops to Albuquerque’s International District. According to the governor, the guard worked alongside the Albuquerque Police Department to address “immediate quality of life concerns” of people living in the area, while “working towards long-term solutions to the city’s most pressing public safety concerns.” City Councilor Nichole Rogers represents District 6, where most of the troops were deployed, and recently stopped by our studio to talk about what the National Guard did and didn’t get done during their six months in the city.
