N.M. Stat. § 30-22-2.1
Entry into domestic violence safe house or shelter;
search warrant.
A. It is not a violation of Section 30-22-1 or Section 30-22-4 NMSA 1978 for a
person who is a member, resident, employee or volunteer of or is otherwise associated
with a domestic violence safe house or shelter to request that a law enforcement officer
show a valid search warrant before allowing the officer to enter the domestic violence
safe house or shelter. Nothing in this section shall prevent a law enforcement officer
from executing a valid search warrant.
B. Prior to attempting to serve an arrest warrant within a domestic violence safe
house or shelter, a law enforcement officer shall obtain a valid search warrant, unless
exigent circumstances exist necessitating immediate entry.
