Immigration crackdown leaves Albuquerque man in limbo
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – As President Donald Trump cracks down on immigration, a Mexican citizen living in Albuquerque is sharing his story about the uncertainty he's facing trying to remain in New Mexico, where he's lived for decades. Story continues below News: Surveillance video captures crash involving off-duty officer that severely injured man Events: What's happening around New Mexico June 6-12? Albuquerque Pride Parade New Mexico Strange: Holy dirt and healing water: A look at NM's miraculous locations Advocating for an Albuquerque man facing questions about his immigration status, dozens showed up Friday for Antonio Rios. Born in Mexico, Rios has been living and working in the U.S. for more than 20 years. In that time, he had two kids with a U.S. citizen who fell into drug addiction. He was also deported more than once. He said he's kept coming back to support his kids, who are American citizens. 'They were in the street, he saw pictures of them, you know, living in the street, and so he was desperate to get to his children and to protect them,' said Rebecca Kitson, Immigration Attorney for Rebecca Kitson Law. Since 2016, Rios has worked with an immigration attorney trying to get a visa, while staying in contact with immigration and customs. But amid a shift in federal policy, Rios is now worried he'll be deported any day. 'I mean, I think it's a real example of the shift in enforcement policy with this administration. In the past, ICE has had the ability to exercise its discretion in cases where they know the person individually and think that the person is deserving of some additional support,' said Kitson. Rios applied for a special visa indicating he's a trafficking victim, after he said he worked at an unsafe Albuquerque job site. However, that application hasn't been decided on, leaving his family wondering if Rios will be allowed to stay. 'Like surreal, like it doesn't feel real. I've just always been with my dad, it's always been him who takes care of us, so it doesn't feel real that he's most likely about to leave,' said Juliana Chairez, daughter of Antonio Rios. After talking to ICE officials on Friday, Rios is still here, but now on an ankle monitor that ICE is tracking. 'One isn't a criminal, I'm waiting. I've been working 20 years working here. I wish I could get through this and not come out in chains,' said Antonio Chairez Rios, currently waiting to hear from ICE. Rios is expecting that ICE could make a decision on his status in the next few days. His next check-in with immigration and customs is in September. It's unclear when he'll receive a decision on his visa application. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Prosecutors refile charges against brother in Gary carjacker slaying
Two weeks after Rashad Thompson was convicted in a carjacker's murder in Gary, prosecutors refiled a criminal case against his older brother. Maurice Thompson, 46, an alleged accomplice, was charged again May 22 with murder in connection with the April 2, 2024 shooting death of Leroy McCambry, 22, of Chicago. Court records allege Rashad was selling marijuana edibles inside his local Citgo East 5th Avenue Gary gas station when McCambry hopped in his Jeep and took off. Maurice Thompson pulled up in another vehicle for the pair to chase McCambry. By the time it slammed into a garage two miles away, the Jeep was shot 12 times. McCambry was found fatally shot once in the torso in the vehicle under a pile of debris on the 300 block of Hayes Street, documents show. Witnesses said they saw two men with guns looking for a man. Maurice Thompson was granted bail in October 2024 — a sign of a weak case. Then, the case was dropped in January, when prosecutors wrote they couldn't prove it. Rashad Thompson's sentencing is scheduled for May 29. During his trial, he clashed with defense lawyer Michael Campbell, who withdrew from the case on May 19, filings show. mcolias@
