New Mexico GOP Headquarters Damaged in Arson and Vandalism

Federal and local authorities investigate deliberate fire and anti-ICE graffiti as part of a broader pattern of politically motivated violence.

A fire was intentionally set early Sunday at the Republican Party of New Mexico's Albuquerque headquarters, destroying the entryway and causing smoke damage throughout the building.
The words 'ICE=KKK' were spray-painted on the building, suggesting a politically charged motive linked to immigration tensions.
No injuries were reported, and the fire was extinguished within five minutes of firefighters' arrival on the scene.
The FBI, ATF, and local law enforcement have launched an active arson investigation, but no suspects have been identified or arrested yet.
Both Republican and Democratic leaders condemned the attack, emphasizing the importance of accountability and peaceful political discourse.
