Gabe Vasquez, a former city councilor in Las Cruces, New Mexico, is challenging Republican Rep. Yvette Herrell for the 2nd Congressional District seat that stretches in the southern part of the state from Texas to Arizona along the border.
The top Democratic candidate in a swing House district along the U.S.-Mexico border has been highly critical of immigration enforcement agencies, saying in the past that Immigration and Customs Enforcement needs “melting” and charging that it and Customs and Border Protection has “no regard” for immigrants’ “humanity.”

Certainly no regard for their humanity."— Gabe Vasquez November 9, 2020 Vasquez has a personal connection to immigration policy.
In a press conference for House Republicans last month marking the Biden administration’s one-year mark, Herrell quipped that “gas prices are higher than the wall.”
