Victims’ immigration info

SANTA FE — The New Mexico Supreme Court reversed two lower courts’ rulings, ordering that crime victims’ visa information must remain confidential and is not to be made available to the defense counsel of accused criminals for potential use in trials. Subpoenas compelling the production of T- and U-visas are quashed, as victims’ privacy rights prevail.
