New Mayor's Audit Demand Sparks Anthony, NM Feud

Author: The Daily News Now! April 21, 2026 Duration: 1:40

New Mexico Mayor Gabriel Holguin is embroiled in a heated dispute with his predecessor, Cynthia Murillo, over alleged financial misconduct and missing documents at City Hall. Holguin has demanded a forensic audit and law enforcement probe, accusing Murillo and former police chief Vanessa Ordoñez of deleting records, locking police systems, and losing key files. The community is divided, with Murillo dismissing it as a public stunt and Ordoñez, now running for county sheriff, addressing past credibility concerns. The New Mexico Attorney General and District Attorney are reviewing the situation, but no immediate action has been taken. The feud continues as the sheriff race heats up, leaving the small city team struggling to manage amidst the turmoil.
