Gov. "Malevolent Michelle" Lujan Grisham announced yesterday what amounts to false imprisonment.
WFAA reported:
FORT WORTH, Texas — For Penny Plavidal and her Fort Worth family, New Mexico has long been their refuge of choice; it's a popular vacation destination for lots of other North Texas families, too.
"It just is a really great place for us to connect with the kids and get out of the city and just touch base with each other again," she said Thursday. "We go several times a year. It's probably one of our favorite places anywhere."
Her family was gearing up for another three-night stay in the Land of Enchantment when a friend forwarded her a press release from New Mexico; Michelle Lujan Grisham, the governor of New Mexico, announced Wednesday that she was re-instating a 14-day quarantine for all out of state travelers.
"If you are entering our state, and you are staying the night, you’re actually going to be staying for 14 nights, because you are a part of our self-quarantine requirement for anybody entering our state," said David Morgan, a spokesman for the state's department of health.
Why do I call this false imprisonment? If anyone enters New Mexico for even just an overnight stay in their RV, they have to remain in New Mexico for 14 nights, even if they will be leaving the state the next day.
Here's the definition of it (from findlaw.com):
False imprisonment occurs when a person (who doesn't have legal authority or justification) intentionally restrains another person's ability to move freely. This can also be called unlawful imprisonment in the first degree and is detailed in the penal code for your state.According to the WFAA article:
Morgan said New Mexico hopes to let the order expire in a couple of weeks, but the virus will ultimately decide for them.To read more, go here.
