Border arrests in Deming rise
Deming Border Patrol officials say
agents saw a jump in arrests of undocumented immigrants along its patrol area
of the New Mexico-Mexico border.
The Deming Headlight reports that an official
from the Deming Border Patrol station says that in the second half of 2012,
compared to the same period in 2011, there was a 28 percent increase in arrests
of undocumented immigrants in the area. He says 253 more people were arrested
from June to December in 2012 than in 2011.

State Corrections Dept. seeing release delays
The state
Corrections Department's new system of bouncing all inmate release documents to
a central office for approval often has resulted late releases for parolees.
The
Albuquerque Journal reports that officials say parolees have been walking out
of prison about two weeks past their expected release dates ever since the
system changed in early September. Those delays have prompted as many as 100
calls a day from inmates' upset relatives.

A recent statewide
audit of state prisons identified about half a dozen early or late releases,
including one man who was released eight years too early.
Gov. asks for Real ID extension
After Jan. 15, New Mexicans
will be unable to get on board a plane with only a state driver's license. New
Mexicans will be required to use their passports for identification. The Real
ID Act, signed into law in 2005, will go into affect next year and prohibits
the use of a New Mexican driver's license as identification to board an
aircraft.
Gov. Susana Martinez is an opponent of the controversial state law
allowing undocumented immigrants to receive a New Mexico Martinez said her
office has "sent a letter that asks what will be the status of New Mexico
The governor hopes to extend the deadline so the state legislature will have
enough time to possibly repeal the driver's license law.

U.S. Fish and Wildlife hit with another Mexican wolf lawsuit
The Center for Biological Diversity sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service yesterday
over the agency’s rejection of a 2009 scientific petition from the Center that sought
classification of the Mexican gray wolf as an endangered subspecies or
population of gray wolves.
Mexican wolves are currently protected as endangered
along with all other wolves in the lower 48 states, with the exception of those
in the northern Rocky Mountains and Great Lakes
region.
In filing the suit, the Center said specific protection for Mexican
wolves is needed to ensure their recovery. Both lawsuits aim to help
Mexican wolves recover.
The Center hopes to force the agency to implement the
reforms and complete a new recovery plan, in the works since as far back as
1995.

achievement tests, which vary significantly in difficulty. NAEP has released
reports on reading achievement for years, but a specific vocabulary section has
now been added to the test. T
