Deb Haaland, U.S. Secretary of the Interior and former congresswoman from New Mexico, has recently shared several updates on her social media account, addressing issues ranging from veterans' benefits to environmental protection in her home state.

On November 13, 2025, Haaland celebrated New Mexico's natural beauty by sharing community photos of the Northern Lights: "New Mexico skies never fail to take my breath away, and tonight we have another chance to see the Northern Lights. Supporters from across the state shared stunning photos from last night!
