ALBUQUERQUE, MARCH 13—The Republican Party of New Mexico (RPNM) strongly condemns the Democratic Party of New Mexico’s (DPNM) recent statement demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil, a foreign student detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on March 9, 2025, for alleged ties to Hamas and advocacy of violence against Jewish students.
“At a time when New Mexicans face soaring crime rates, persistent poverty, and failing schools, the DPNM’s decision to rally behind a Hamas sympathizer reveals a shocking lack of priorities and a betrayal of our state’s citizens,” said Amy Barela, the Chairwoman of the Republican Party of New Mexico.
“New Mexico is struggling with real challenges, but while families demand real solutions, the DPNM shamelessly rushes to prop up Khalil—a man accused by the DHS of leading activities aligned with Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.”
New Mexicans deserve to know the truth about who the DPNM is championing:
- Ties to Hamas: The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) claims that Khalil “led activities aligned to Hamas.”
- Pro-Hamas Propaganda: White House officials report Khalil organized protests distributing materials bearing Hamas’s logo, promoting terrorist propaganda.
- Targeting Jewish Students: Khalil orchestrated protests at Columbia University that terrorized Jewish students, carving out “Zionist-free” zones while rallying cries to “globalize the intifada”—a call to unleash violence worldwide.
- Glorifying Violence: As a Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) leader, Khalil is linked to statements praising terrorism as “heroic” and advocating violence as “the only path forward.” CUAD’s own writings glorify Hamas’s October 7, 2023, terrorist attack and call for violence against supporters of Israel—rhetoric that endangers Jewish Americans.
“These are not the actions of a ‘human rights’ martyr, as the DPNM claims, but of a national security risk—one the Trump administration rightfully detained,” Barela continued.
“The Republican Party of New Mexico urges New Mexicans to reject the DPNM’s extreme agenda and demand leaders who uphold the law, keep us safe, and tackle our real problems— not protect accused terrorists,” Barela concluded. “We must hold our leaders accountable and vote for representatives who prioritize our safety. New Mexicans deserve better.”
All my republican rights have been violated over 4 years now they lied about me n I can prove it I don’t care what they say they are lier’s
MAGA “leader” Barela deflects attention from TRUMPMUSKvance’s coup attempt, she wants us to see anything but the attack on the Constitution.
We won’t be distracted and she will stay in the minority in New Mexico.
“MAGA ‘leader’ Barela deflects attention from TRUMPMYSKvance’s coup attempt, she wants us to see anything but the attack on the Constitution.
We won’t be distracted and she will stay in the minority in New Mexico”. So, what you are saying is that you want a terrorist sympathizer to be released? And that you want Jewish people to continue to be persecuted by pro-Palestine protesters who support the Palestinians who therefore support a designated terrorist group Hamas who are associated with Iran the largest sponsor of terrorism on Earth who are associated with Hezbollah another designated terrorist group and who are associated with the Palestinian Authority who also advocate for terrorism and who have voted and have elected members of the terrorist group Hamas into office and they’re own government for years and who are proven to be the same people as Hamas because the Hamas Covenant states so? And that you want the rising crime rate in New Mexico to get even higher? And that you want schools in New Mexico to continue failing? Is that what you are saying? And furthermore, you talk about how Trump and his administration are “attacking the Constitution”. How so? How are they “attacking the Constitution” exactly? Can you name an example of how they’re “attacking the Constitution”? And also, how are they “attempting a coup”? This is what I have been talking about. Denial. Hypocrisy. Excuses. This is what the Democratic Party represents. This is who they are. They want to talk about how Trump and his administration are “attacking the Constitution”. The Democratic Party has attacked the Constitution for years. If you don’t believe me, just look at what they have done with the border. They opened up the border to the point where millions and millions of illegals including terrorists from Hamas, murderers, Haitians and other groups of illegals who got free Social Security benefits and free housing and free food stamps and free VA benefits and free healthcare, child rapists, Mexican drug cartels who smuggled in unprecedented amounts of fentanyl that harmed and killed Americans in the thousands, and other illegals who committed atrocious acts on innocent Americans in the thousands including Laken Riley, we’re coming into this country to do all of that and the Democrats in power including Biden-Harris never batted an eye and never secured the border to prevent this from happening. The Constitution of the United States, in particular Article IV Section IV clearly states “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive(when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence”. Which means that the United States of America and every U.S state, including the President of the United States and his administration must secure the border and the Governor of each individual U.S state must secure the border to prevent the invasion of millions and millions of illegals who come into the United States of America or come into any individual U.S state and commit atrocious acts and violent acts such as murder, rape, etc onto innocent Americans in the United States or in any individual U.S states, like New Mexico and that the United States of America and any individual U.S state must deport those illegals or any illegal immigrants who doesn’t have the correct visas or paperwork to even be here in the United States of America or any individual U.S state legally back to where they came from and that the United States of America and any individual U.S state must detain illegal immigrants especially violent ones who commit atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans. I think they call it…..border security? You know, actually securing the border? The Constitution of the United States of America clearly states that the United States of America must secure our borders in the United States and any individual U.S state in order to prevent the invasion of millions and millions of illegals including violent ones. Did Biden-Harris and the Democratic Governors in certain states like New Mexico do that? Have they done that? No, I didn’t think so. Because they don’t care about the Constitution of the United States of America. Which means that they don’t care about the United States of America itself. Why would a guy, Trump, and his administration, want to open up the border to allow millions and millions of illegals including violent ones to come into the United States of America and commit atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans like you Democrats including you far-left progressive ones including Biden-Harris have done and did for the last four years? I can’t believe that you are that oblivious to that. And yet, you want to claim that Trump’s “attacking the Constitution”. Trump and his administration are deporting illegals back to where they came from and is detaining violent illegal immigrants who have committed atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans just like Laken Riley and so many others. That’s not “attacking the Constitution”. That’s following the Constitution. And you want to talk about “minority”. There is no such thing as a minority in the United States of America in regarding the border. The overwhelming majority of Americans including Democrats want the border to be secured and want Trump and his administration to deport and detain violent illegal immigrants who have committed atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans. And this includes here in New Mexico. The overwhelming majority of Americans including here in New Mexico including Democrats want the border to be secured and support Trump and his administration deporting illegals back to where they came from and support detaining violent illegal immigrants who have committed atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans in the thousands just like Laken Riley and the thousands of others who died from overdosing on the unprecedented amounts of fentanyl that the Mexican drug cartels smuggled into the United States that you Democrats allowed to happen. So, Trump’s not attacking the Constitution. He’s doing you a favor and is actually deporting illegals back to where they came from and is actually detaining violent illegal immigrants who have committed atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans in the thousands including Laken Riley that you allowed to happen. He’s not “attacking the Constitution”. You Democrats have attacked the Constitution, on more than one occasion and you continue to do so. And if you need more convincing, then look at what you did with the Fourteenth Amendment Section III, using it as a weapon to target and try to put in prison Trump because you hate him because he’s more of an American than you would ever be. The Fourteenth Amendment Section III states: “No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath of office, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may be a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability”. Meaning that the United States House of Representatives and the United States Supreme Court are the only people who can remove a presidential candidate or the President from office if that President or presidential candidate has committed an insurrection, which Trump clearly did not as proof from the footage from January 6. You Democrats instead went on to try and remove Trump from the United States presidential election from individual states including individual states Supreme Courts and state legislatures. That’s where you made your first mistake and where you violated the Constitution. It’s illegal and against the law to remove a presidential candidate from individual states Supreme Courts and state legislatures. You also made the mistake of trying to remove a presidential candidate like Trump from the ballot based on hearsay and rumors that he supposedly committed an insurrection on January 6, rumors and hearsay of which is inaccurate the overwhelming majority of the time because they are not based in actual verifiable and physical evidence or proof. Therefore, it is you, Democrats, who attempted to overthrow the government by attempting to remove a presidential candidate like Trump from the United States presidential ballot from individual states Supreme Courts and state legislatures which is illegal and against the law, and because you hate him and fear him because he actually supports the true values and policies of this country like freedom of speech and securing the border and supporting Israel and protecting women’s sports from men who become women through gender reassignment surgery aka not actual biological women but men and school choice and parental rights and the Second Amendment and the First Amendment, etc and you don’t. You tried to do that, not us and certainly not him. You did that. But yet, you want to talk about how Trump and his administration are “attempting a coup”. My question is, how is an actual American President who is actually bringing back the true values of this country and Israel actually following the Constitution including deporting illegals back to where they came from and detaining violent illegal immigrants who have committed atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans like Laken Riley to actually secure the border, etc attempting a coup? What, you think that the fact that Trump won the popular vote and the Electoral College is him “attempting a coup”? Do you think that him actually negotiating a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine to end the war between the two countries that Ukraine and Zelenskyy started, is him “attempting a coup”? Do you think that the fact that Trump and his administration are bringing back the fact that there are only two genders, male and female, is “attempting a coup”? Do you think that Trump and his administration actually negotiating a peace deal between Israel and Palestine is “attempting a coup”? Do you think that Trump actually exposing the billions of dollars in waste and fraud is “attempting a coup”? Do you think that Trump and his administration actually bringing down the cost of food and gas to the point where we Americans can actually afford to buy food, including eggs, and gas, is “attempting a coup”? What do you think what he and his administration are doing that is “attempting a coup”? Are you saying that the overwhelming majority of Americans including Democrats who actually voted for Trump and his administration are “attempting a coup”? The overwhelming majority of Americans including Democrats want this. They want Trump and his administration to bring down the cost of food and gas. They want him and his administration to deport and detain violent illegal immigrants who have committed atrocious acts and violent acts on innocent Americans like Laken Riley and they want the border to be secured. They want him and his administration to expose the billions of dollars in waste and fraud that your side has committed. They want Trump and his administration to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine and Israel and Palestine. The overwhelming majority of Americans want this. They don’t want to attempt a coup. They want common sense back. It’s you Democrats, especially you far-left progressive ones who want to attempt a coup. Heck, one of your own, a top official at the Pentagon, was caught on video saying that he wanted to attempt a coup onto Trump and his supporters and other common sense minded Americans, aka the overwhelming majority of the American people, because he hates Trump and his supporters and other common sense minded Americans because they support the true values of this country that the far-left progressive Democrats in power and those who are average citizens of this country don’t like and hate and fear. But yet, you want to make excuses and deflect from the fact that you want to do that and you want to be hypocritical and say that Trump and his supporters and other common sense minded Americans want to “attempt a coup”. Denial. Excuses. Hypocrisy. Deflection. That is what you are Democrats, especially those of you who are far-left progressive. This is who you are. You deny the fact that none of your policies have worked. You deflect the fact that none of your policies have worked and you accuse others of things that you have done. And you are hypocrites, accusing Trump and his supporters and other common sense minded Americans, aka the overwhelming majority of Americans, of things that you have done or are doing. And you make excuses for it. This is who you are Democrats especially those of you who are far-left progressive. This is who you are. And this is why you lost in November. You couldn’t get the job done to secure the border and deport and detain violent illegal immigrants who have committed atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans just like Laken Riley and thousands of others and you couldn’t get the job done to protect women’s sports from men who become women through gender reassignment surgery aka not actual biological women but men from competing in women’s sports and changing in women’s locker rooms and girls’s locker rooms and you couldn’t get the job done to protect and defend Israel from a designated terrorist group Hamas who advocates for the annihilation and eradication of the nation of Israel and the Jewish people for existing and homosexuals for existing and you couldn’t get the job done to protect and defend Israel from the very people who have voted and have elected members of Hamas into office and into they’re own government since at least 2006, if not longer, and who have been proven, from Hamas’s own charter, Hamas Covenant, to be the same people as Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran and the Palestinian Authority, the Palestinians themselves and you couldn’t get the job to prevent Jewish people from being targeted and persecuted and assaulted by pro-Palestine protesters in college and university campuses across the United States either. And so on. You have failed at your jobs Democrats including you far-left progressive ones. That is why you lost in November. The way I see it, Trump and his administration and other common sense minded Americans are doing you all a favor. But go ahead. Continue falsely claiming that Trump and his administration and other common sense minded Americans are “attempting a coup” or are “attacking the Constitution”. Go ahead, continue doing that far-left progressive Democrats and continue losing approval and support nationwide because of it.
The unreadable Mr. Cook is also unbelievable, seeing as how he believes all of Trump’s lies, from 1/6 as peaceful protest on down. If Chair Barela has a lick of sense, she is ashamed to see his support for the NM GOP.
Im not unreadable. I speakth the truth my far-left progressive, anti-protecting women’s sports from men who become women through gender reassignment surgery aka not actual women but men, anti-Israel, pro-Palestine aka pro-Hamas aka pro-terrorism, anti-border security aka anti-deporting illegals and detaining illegals who commit atrocious acts on innocent Americans like Laken Riley in order to actually secure the border to actually protect the United States of America from invasion, anti-gun and anti-Second Amendment and anti-free speech and anti-true American values friend. You are so unbelievable Mr. Cole, believing all of the Democrats lies, from Jan. 6 as a “riot” on down to believing that men who become women through gender reassignment surgery aka not actual women but men can actually be allowed to be in women’s sports with actual biological and change with actual women in women’s locker rooms and girls’s high school locker rooms and actually believing that pro-Palestine protesters assaulting Jewish people and killing Jewish people for existing and for they’re faith is “peaceful protests” and believing that having open borders to the point where millions of illegals including terrorists from Hamas and Haitians and other groups of illegals who get free food stamps and free housing and free healthcare and free Social Security benefits and free VA benefits before actual hard-working Americans and actual citizens of this country, murderers, serial killers, child rapists, etc coming into this country and murdering and raping and committing atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans is a good thing and believing that actually deporting illegals back to where they came from and actually detaining violent illegals who commit atrocious acts on innocent Americans in order to actually secure the border and protecting the United States of America from invasion like it says in the Constitution that we are supposed to do and what Trump’s actually doing, is “racist” or “inhumane” or something stupid like that. And so on. You and your side are so unbelievable that you would believe all that crap. Makes you wonder why you lost in November. If any Democrat, in this state or any other state, has any lick of sense at all, they would be ashamed of your support for policies that do not represent the true values and policies of the United States of America and they would be ashamed of being a Democrat right now. And this is why the support for the Democratic Party nationwide is at an all time low and why the trust in the Democratic Party and the mainstream media platforms like MSNBC and CNN and ABC News and NBC News and CBS News are at all time lows. In fact, what you just said about me being “unreadable” or “unbelievable” in that Im supposedly lying about things that are actually true and have been proven to be true? That just proves my point in that the trust and support in you, JH Cole and your party, the Democratic Party, is at an all time low and why your approval rating is at 29% nationwide and still falling. You just proved my point and all of our points in that. No wonder why you lost in November. By the way, you said that I “lied” about Jan. 6 being a peaceful protests. OK, so are you saying that you support innocent Americans who exercised their First Amendment rights and constitutional rights to peacefully and patriotically protest the results of an election, going to prison………but you want people who actually did something wrong on Jan. 6 like the Capitol police officer who shot and killed an innocent and unarmed American woman by the name of Ashili Babbit, go free? Is that what you are saying? Cause it sure sounds like you are. Would you have preferred Jan. 6 to be a riot rather than the peaceful protests that it actually was, showed by actual footage? Because if that’s the case, then it proves more and more my point exactly. The trust in you and the Democratic Party and the mainstream media platforms like MSNBC and CNN and ABC News and NBC News and CBS News are at all time lows, and why the approval rating of the Democratic Party nationwide is at 29% and still declining. The Jan. 6 “riot” that you speak of, was proven not to be a riot with actual verifiable and physical evidence, a long time ago. The only reason why you are saying that it was a “riot” and that Trump and his supporters “incited an insurrection” is because of hearsay and rumors, which are not accurate the overwhelming majority of the time because they have no basis in actual verifiable and physical evidence. Plus, maybe the next time that you want to say that the actual Americans who exercised their First Amendment rights and constitutional rights to peacefully and patriotically protest the results of an election, which most of them did that day and most of them went to prison for simply doing that and even Americans who weren’t actually there at the Capitol on that day and Americans who simply were taking pictures went to prison for taking pictures, deserved to go to prison, maybe you should think about the fact that four of those people who were killed on January 6 were those actual Americans who were exercising their First Amendment rights to peacefully and patriotically protest the results of an election, including Ashili Babbit. Yeah, that was your fault Democrats. You caused four innocent Americans to die on January 6, just so you could further a agenda that the January 6 peaceful protests were “riots” and so you could put innocent Americans who were just there to take pictures and who were there to peacefully and patriotically protest the results of an election like it says in the Constitution we are supposed to do as Americans because it’s freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, into prison. You might want to think about that fact the next time you open your mouth and you want to talk about how January 6 was supposedly a “riot” when actual verifiable and physical footage shows that it wasn’t. But you go ahead and keep claiming that January 6 was a “insurrection” when it clearly was not and keep claiming that men who become women through gender reassignment surgery aka not actual women but men should be allowed to compete in women’s sports and change in women’s locker rooms and girls’s high school locker rooms and keep claiming that open border policies that allows millions of illegals including terrorists and child rapists, etc to come into this country and commit atrocious acts and violent acts on innocent Americans and keep claiming that actually deporting illegals back to where they came from and actually detaining violent illegals who commit atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans is “racist” and “inhumane”. It will only reduce the approval rating of the Democratic Party nationwide more and will only reduce the trust in the Democratic Party nationwide and the trust in mainstream media platforms like MSNBC and CNN and ABC News and NBC News even more. By the way, I don’t consider deporting illegals back to where they came from and detaining violent illegals who commit atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans “racist” or “inhumane”. I call it border security and securing the border, like we are supposed to be doing. And the fact that you are even claiming that Trump and his administration actually securing the border by deporting all of those illegals back to where they came from and actually detaining the illegals who committed atrocious and violent acts on innocent Americans in the thousands including Laken Riley, is “racist” and “inhumane”, just proves my point more and more and it shows your ignorance and why the trust in the Democratic Party nationwide is at an all time low and why the trust in mainstream media platforms like MSNBC and CNN and ABC News and NBC News that you love so much JH Cole are at all time lows and why you lost in November. That is why you, Democrats, including you far-left progressive ones like you JH Cole, are in the minority in the United States, at 29% approval rating no less, and still declining. “Unreadable”? “Unbelievable”? No, no, no. I speakth the truth and all you Democrats including you far-left progressive ones who are in denial that the guy who you hate the most who actually support and represent the true values of this country that you despise so much won in November because the American people woke up and saw the reality of your radical policies. I know how to write a sentence and I know what I speakth. Unlike you far-left progressive Democrats like you JH Cole who only rely on hearsay and rumors, I actually rely on facts and I actually do my research. Such as, have you actually read the Hamas Covenant lately? At all? Because in it, it clearly states that Hamas and the Palestinians are indeed the same people. In fact, the Islamic Resistance Movement and Hamas? Same terrorist group. The Palestinians and Hamas? Same people. Why else do you think that the Palestinians have actually voted for members of Hamas into office for years? And by the way, Wikipedia even proves that. Are you going to say that Wikipedia is lying about that? It clearly doesn’t. Neither does the Hamas Covenant. Article 7 of the Hamas Covenant even says that the Palestinians should kill Jewish people by throwing stones at them and all that stuff. It says that in the Hamas Covenant and it says that the Palestinians should be allowed just like Hamas to target Jewish people and the nation of Israel for existing and in the name of jihad, etc. It says that all throughout the entire document. Maybe you should read it before you begin supporting the Palestinians more. Because you far-left progressive Democrats like you JH Cole are supporting the wrong people. Prove me wrong. You probably can’t because you know that deep down that I am telling the truth. But if you dare, just try to prove me wrong.
