A fire damaged the entry of the republican party of the headquarters of the New Mexico Albuquerque on Sunday, which the party called “a deliberate criminal fire act”.
The words “ICE = KKK” were painted by spraying in the building, the party said in a press release published on X. No one was injured in the fire, he said, and the police investigate.
“This horrible attack, fueled by hatred and intolerance, is a direct assault on our values, our freedoms and our right to political expression,” he said. “It is not an isolated incident. This is part of a disturbing scheme of politically motivated violence that has tormented our country – partially fueled by silence and implicit encouragement from progressive leaders who refuse to condemn these acts. ”
The fire intervenes in the midst of protests against measures by immigration and customs application (ICE) under the Trump republican administration to expel migrants. The FBI also created a working group to “repress the violent Tesla attacks” after vandalism and acts of violence intended for the electric car manufacturer, whose CEO, Elon Musk, is to direct the efforts of President Donald Trump to reduce the workforce of the federal government.
Albuquerque Fire Rescue said that he had been sent to the Route de San Francisco just before 6 a.m. for a reported structure fire.
“The fire was under control within 5 minutes of their arrival. The structure underwent damage to the front entrance and smoke damage throughout the building. No injury to civilians or firefighters have been reported,” he said on Facebook.
Fire managers investigate FBI teams and alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives, he said.
The president of the republican party of the New Mexico, Amy Barela, said that the group worked alongside the investigators and will not be “reduced to silence”.
“We are deeply relieved that no one was injured in what could have been a tragic and deadly attack. Those who use violence to undermine our state and our nation must be held responsible, and our heads of state must strengthen the decisive measures that these loose attacks will not be tolerated,” said Barela.
