ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — 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. 
Under the Riot Control Act, the restrictions will terminate automatically at noon on the third day after they become effective. The Gallup emergency is effective immediately and therefore will expire at noon on May 4. 
Anyone who fails to comply with restrictions is guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction of a second or subsequent offense is guilty of a fourth-degree felony. 
McKinley County has reported over 1,000 cases of COVID-19 — more than 30% of New Mexico's total COVID-19 cases.
