WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Xochitl Torres Small, NM-2, released a statement Aug. 23 calling on the Trump Administration to reconsider changes proposed to the interpretation of the Flores Settlement Agreement concerning detention of migrant children in federal facilities.“Children are especially vulnerable when they are held in detention. The Flores Agreement addresses that fact. We all recognize that our immigration system is broken, but keeping children in detention with no end in sight does not improve safety or reflect our values.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
You don’t get through life unscathed and no one gets out alive. The question is what’s worth risking and what isn’t. You can’t pray that the heavy winds of time will never touch you. They will. A life devoid of risk is not worth very much either. There’s reckless and boring. You...

Letter to the Editor: Registered sex offender speaks out
I don’t guess this will get published, despite the fact that you claim to be fair and unbiased, but newspapers exist as a public service. Every news organization is bent a certain way from the New York Times to CNN and Fox News.
Anyone can put something on paper and publish it and give it a larger than life headline and scare the general public and not think about the consequences because, frankly, they don’t care, because they do it anonymously, as a paid advertisement. But you also have to remember that there are always two sides to every story and the truth lies somewhere in the middle.

This is the highest rate in the nation, according to a report released August 19, entitled “Valuing Families at Work: The Case for Paid Sick Leave in New Mexico.” The report was released by the child advocacy organization, New Mexico Voices for Children.
