Heinrich, Luján have strong reactions to Trump threats to kill “whole civilization” in Iran
When New Mexico’s two U.S. Senators heard about President Trump’s Easter morning social media post and address to the nation earlier this week threatening to extinguish “an entire civilization” in Iran, they both had the same reaction: No way. U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich: “Donald Trump’s threat to destroy “a whole civilization” because a war that he started is not ending by a date he randomly set is unhinged AND threatens a war crime. “This is not some real estate deal that’s dragging on. We are talking about the very existence of a nation and the millions of innocent civilians within it, folks whose oppression President Trump claimed to care about only weeks ago. “Let me be clear: No one gets to indiscriminately harm civilians. It’s against international and U.S. law, and it is wrong. “To every remaining rational adult in the Pentagon, the Administration, and Congress: Speak up. Right now. Follow your oath to the Constitution and follow the law.” U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján: “President Trump’s latest social media posts offer no reassurance to the American people, our service members, or their families. His reckless, deranged, and immoral threats to destroy a ‘whole civilization’ are dangerous and have further escalated tensions, putting Americans and our allies at even greater risk. “The American people did not vote for this war. The president dragged our nation into it without a plan, without congressional authorization, and without public support. Now, families here at home are facing rising costs and the consequences of his chaos. “There is still no plan to end this war. My prayers are with our service members, their families, and all those in harm’s way. The American people deserve better than a president who treats war like another late-night post on his social media account.” Trump has consistently ramped up his rhetoric and threats against Iran as the war he started now drags on into its second month with no resolution. Polls show that an overwhelming majority of Americans do not support the president’s war.

Senate Republicans agree to Dem demands funding DHS without ICE ops; House approval uncertain
The United States Senate voted by unanimous consent overnight to break the impasse and fund the Department of Homeland Security without ICE deportation operations, sending the package to the House of Representatives where passage is still uncertain. Democrats had offered support for this funding strategy for weeks but President Donald Trump and Senate Republicans had demanded an “all or nothing” vote. The Senate passed the compromise with unanimous consent, a voice vote without any recorded opposition, after the White House signaled that the Trump would sign the legislation after weeks of airport delays and historically-low public approval ratings. New Mexico’s Sens. Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján, alongside other Democrats, had spent weeks calling for Republicans to agree to this type of structure to pay TSA, Coast Guard and FEMA workers while they focused on more contentious demands for ICE reforms. Most ICE operations remain unaffected, however, because of special appropriations pushed through without Democratic support in the president’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill last summer. All three of New Mexico’s Representatives in Congress are expected to approve the measure if it comes up for a vote Friday, as expected. But some hardline House Republicans have objected to similar efforts in the past, making passage less certain.

Heinrich, breaking with most Dems., will vote yes on Mullin to lead DHS
New Mexico’s U.S. Senator Martin Heinrich will be one of the few Democrats to support Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin’s nomination to succeed Kristi Noem as President Trump’s homeland security secretary. U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich of New Mexico listens during a hearing on federal energy policy under the Trump administration (Credit: U.S. Sen. Heinrich Office/Flickr Mar. 2026) In a statement shared with NM Political Report over the weekend, Heinrich said he has a good working relationship with Mullin and hopes to establish a relationship with DHS that eluded him during Trump’s first or current term: “This is going to surprise some people, but I consider Markwayne Mullin a friend. We have a very honest and constructive working relationship. We have authored legislation together, such as the Tribal Buffalo Management Act, and we crafted the Legislative Branch Appropriations bill together this year. We often disagree and when we do, we work to find whatever common ground we share. “I have also seen first-hand that Markwayne is not someone who can simply be bullied into changing his views, and I look forward to having a Secretary who doesn’t take their orders from Stephen Miller. “For five years, under this and the previous Trump Administration, I have lacked any constructive relationship with the Secretary of Homeland Security. This is despite my state being home to hundreds of TSA, CBP and Border Patrol constituents and many miles of the U.S./Mexico border. I want someone who recognizes the necessity of judicial warrants, as he has. I would like a Secretary who I can call and have a constructive conversation with about my state and the unique terrain that exists in the southwest and the proper mix of structure, technology and personnel necessary to effectively secure our border. “For these reasons, I will vote to confirm Markwayne Mullin to be Secretary of Homeland Security.” U.S. Sen. Martin Heinrich, Mar. 22, 2026 Heinrich was a regular and forceful critic of Noem during her tenure, but he has broken with Democrats to support other high-level Trump nominees of importance to New Mexico. In Jan. 2025, he voted in support of Doug Burgum’s nomination to lead the Interior Department, which oversees public lands and large portions of the national energy portfolio, for many of the same reasons. “I voted to confirm Governor Burgum’s nomination for Interior Secretary because I have found that a healthy relationship with the Secretary of Interior is critical to securing the best outcomes for the State of New Mexico.” Heinrich also voted in support Marco Rubio’s nomination as Secretary of State, Chris Wright as Secretary of Energy and Doug Collins as Secretary of Veterans Affairs. New Mexico’s other U.S. Senator, Ben Ray Luján, says he will vote against Mullin. “I take my responsibility to New Mexicans seriously. I will vote against Senator Mullin’s confirmation,” he said in a statement late last week.
