From an earlier Source New Mexico report:
A federal judge convicted former Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin of trespass for his involvement in Jan. 6. Authorities had held him in jail for 20 days, and the judge did not send him back.
A New Mexico judge ordered Griffin removed from the commission and barred him for life from serving in elected federal and state positions. The ruling marked the first time a court unseated an elected official as a result of participating in or supporting the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Griffin appealed to the New Mexico Supreme Court, which threw out his appeal on procedural grounds and reaffirmed their dismissal in February 2023. Griffin asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear his case in May 2023.
