DHS Increasing Presence In Four Corners Area

From ktar.com - Homeland Security officials say the federal agency is planning to increase its presence fighting drug cartels in New Mexico's Four Corners region. The Farmington Daily Times reports the federal agency proposes that two agents move to San Juan County full-time and that more agents be dispatched occasionally to the area to assist with serious criminal investigations. The move comes after New Mexico law enforcement agencies around the state have asked federal officials to assist cash strapped departments in battling gangs, drug trafficking and weapons violations. But as federal authorities have moved into places like Roswell and Las Cruces, violent Mexican drug cartels have increased their presence in the remote area of northwest New Mexico that border three other westers states.  More News New Mexico
