[1] Complaint filed against NM school after questions about student's immigration status – A local teachers union is claiming a New Mexico school district has been asking students about their citizenship status. Espanola Public Schools have used optional career-readiness programs that help connect students with potential future employers. According to a group of teachers in the district, as part of one of the program's assessment, the district directed teachers at Espanola Valley High School to ask students for their country of origin and their alien registration number. The union has filed a complaint against the school district, arguing the directive is out of the educators agreed upon work conditions. The district says they've started an investigation into the concerns and will take appropriate action if any violations are found.
[2] Las Vegas deputy charged with aggravated battery and robbery – A Las Vegas deputy is in trouble with the law again, now facing new charges. On Sunday, NMSP were called out to a disturbance at Storrie Lake. According to witnesses, San Miguel Sheriff's Office Deputy Justin Padilla and his brother, Jeffery, attacked a man, beat him unconscious, and took his gun. Justin Padilla told officers the victim had been pointing the gun at people at the park, and he had to be disarmed. He's facing robbery and aggravated battery charges. In 2023, Padilla was accused of holding down a woman while another woman hit her. He was placed on administrative leave for that incident
[3] Breezy with more storms, then cooler weather around New Mexico – Temperatures continue to heat up into Friday. Isolated storm chances will continue into the weekend, mainly around the mountain. Widespread rain is likely on Monday. Storms will continue to develop each afternoon through Sunday, with the best chance for rain and thunderstorms in the mountains and nearby areas. Temperatures will continue to warm through Friday afternoon, but stay very warm to hot across the state through the weekend as well.
[4] Roswell expected to be the location of new Amazon facility – The City of Roswell is one step closer to getting a new Amazon facility, and the potential economic opportunities that come with it. Amazon is eying a 7.5 acre plot of land on Roswell's south side by the airport to build a new 'Last Mile Facility.' This will make it easier to route deliveries to their final stops in southeast New Mexico. The city is offering the land for $60,000, saying the return on the sale could bring hundreds of jobs and the potential of expanding.
[5] Bernalillo County animal shelter well over capacity – The Bernalillo County Animal Care and Resource Center is beyond over capacity, and they need help to get their furry friends adopted before it's too late. The shelter can fit about 120 dogs comfortably, but with more than 150 in their care right now, the shelter's resources and staff are strained to the limit. There will be a spay and neuter clinic at the end of next month. All adoption fees at the shelter are currently waived.
