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.

Vancouver Whitecaps keep unbeaten streak with 0-0 draw against Minnesota United
The Vancouver Whitecaps extended their unbeaten streak Wednesday with a 0-0 draw against visiting Minnesota United. The 'Caps (9-1-5) have not lost in their last 15 games (7-0-8) across all competitions and remain atop Major League Soccer's Western Conference standings. The Whitecaps outchanced their opponents throughout the game, but couldn't get a ball past Minnesota goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair, who stopped two shots for United (7-3-6) en route to his eighth clean sheet of the season. At the other end of the field, Vancouver's Yohei Takaoka made one save for his seventh shutout of the campaign. Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion.

The home side dominated 56.5 per cent of possession across the game, held a 21-4 advantage in shots and had seven corner kicks through the match. The Whitecaps will play one of the biggest games in club history on Sunday when they face LIGA MX side Cruz Azul in the CONCACAF Champions Cup final in Mexico City. The team will return to MLS action on June 8 when it hosts the Seattle Sounders. Vancouver got a flurry of early chances Wednesday before Minnesota settled into the game. Whitecaps striker Daniel Rios had a prime opportunity off a corner in the 14th minute when Sebastian Berhalter swung the kick into the area. Rios jumped up and sent a header high over the crossbar. Defensive midfielder Andres Cubas came close eight minutes later when his long-range blast skirted just wide of the Minnesota goalpost. The Loons nearly headed into halftime when Bongokuhle Hlongwane picked up a loose ball in the 45th minute and fired a shot over the Vancouver net. The 'Caps controlled 59.1 per cent of the possession across the first half on Wednesday and outshot the visitors 10-2, though on-target shots were level at 1-1. The home side continued to press out of the break, unleashing four more shots in the first 10 minutes of the second half, but none were on target. Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen attempted to inject some offensive firepower into his lineup in the 60th minute with a pair of substitutions. Vancouver's leading scorer Brian White replaced Rios, and Ali Ahmed, who leads the team in assists, came on for winger Emmanuel Sabbi. Canadian midfielder Jayden Nelson handed St. Clair — a fellow Canadian — his toughest test of the night in the 80th minute, blasting a right-footed shot from the centre of the box that the 'keeper had to dive to turn away.

SJC supports judicial inquiry into ShotSpotter reliability, technology used to track gunshots in cities
'We note that, although it was not requested in the instant case, a Daubert-Lanigan hearing should be allowed if so requested to further inform the court regarding retrospective forensic use of ShotSpotter technology,' Justice Scott L. Kafker wrote for the unanimous court. Advertisement He added, 'we are not aware that any Massachusetts court has undertaken a Daubert-Lanigan hearing regarding the retrospective forensic use of ShotSpotter technology." In the 1990s, the US Supreme Court and the SJC set a five-part test now known as Daubert-Lanigan before new science can be used in trials. They include peer review, support for the tech in the scientific community and testing to confirm its accuracy, The Committee for Public Counsel Services, the state's public defender agency, supports the SJC's call for scrutinizing ShotSpotter systems. The 'underlying methodology, the proprietary nature of its algorithms, and the lack of independent scientific validation raise serious questions about its accuracy and reliability — especially when used to retrospectively determine the timing, location, or even the existence of gunfire,'' CPCS spokesman Robert McGovern wrote. Advertisement ShotSpotter has been deployed by Boston police - and other Massachusetts police agencies - as part of its technological response to gun violence, and is used in real time to dispatch officers to active crime scenes and in court to support shooting and homicide prosecutions. But critics, including the New England Innocence Project and the national Innocence Project, contend the company has not undergone the rigorous judicial inquiry long required of new science - like was done for DNA testing - before it was used in criminal cases. 'Flawed forensic science is one of the leading causes of wrongful convictions.' Mitha Nandagopalan, staff attorney for the national Innocence Project wrote in an e-mail to the Globe. 'It's past time Massachusetts courts examine whether ShotSpotter is reliable.' A 2024 study by researchers at Northeastern University found ShotSpotter does get police to active crime scenes faster and for improved evidence collection. ShotSpotter was questioned in the first degree murder appeal of Lee M. Rios convicted for the March 24, 2015, shooting of Kenneth Lopez multiple times in Springfield. During his Hampden Superior Court trial, a ShotSpotter employee testified the geolocation system can mistake loud sounds for gunshots. In the Rios trial, ShotSpotter mistakenly identified a location 300 yards from where Lopez was actually killed, and only by manually reviewing the data was the error corrected, the SJC said. In his appeal, Rios argued the flawed ShotSpotter report undermined his defense and justified granting him a new trial, among other grounds. Advertisement The SJC, however, disagreed. 'There was overwhelming evidence of the defendant's guilt entirely separate from the ShotSpotter evidence,'' Kafker wrote for the court. If the Daubert-Lanigan finds the ShotSpotter unreliable, the use as a forensic tool could be severely restricted in criminal cases, attorneys said. The Globe requested comment from Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni's office, which prosecuted Rios. John R. Ellement can be reached at
