New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham is locking down the city of Gallup. Outgoing Mayor Jackie McKinney and new Mayor Louis Bonaguidi had both requested the governor invoke emergency powers under the state's Riot Control Act.
All roads into Gallup will be closed at 12 p.m Friday.
Effective today:
- Businesses will be closed from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m.
- Vehicles may only have a maximum of 2 people inside.
- Residents of Gallup should shelter in place unless there is an emergency.
Gallup police and the McKinley County Sheriff's Department will partner with New Mexico State Police, the New Mexico Department of Transportation and the New Mexico National Guard to enforce the emergency order and road closures.
