Lou DiVizio takes you on one last trip to Santa Fe as the 60-day legislative session wraps up. Politics Correspondent Gwyneth Doland asks state party leaders what legislative priorities did and didn't make it through during this year's session.

Gwyneth speaks with state representative Nicole Chavez about the failed bill and her personal perspective on juvenile crime.

An immigration lawyer and an advocate speak out against the actions of ICE as they push for a bill to change the state's relationship with federal immigration authorities.

Gwyneth speaks with Chair of the House Taxation and Revenue Committee, Derick Lente, about House Bill 14, an extensive tax package that passed the House last week.

Rachel Biggs, a strategist with Albuquerque Healthcare for the Homeless, tells Gwyneth why she believes a group of bills meant to expand access to housing could strengthen communities around New Mexico.
