U.S. Senators Martin Heinrich and Ben Ray Luján criticized the Trump administration for allegedly misusing the Vacancy Act to extend the term of Interim U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison in New Mexico. In their statement, they expressed concern over bypassing Senate consultation and urged adherence to judicial processes, emphasizing the importance of fair federal prosecutions.

Luján stated, “This administration’s continuing willingness to trample the role of the Judiciary and Congress” undermines the rule of law. Heinrich echoed these sentiments, calling for strict enforcement of the Senate's blue slip process to preserve independence in federal prosecutions.
