FEDERAL PROSECUTIONS OF IMMIGRATION CRIMES ARE WAY UP IN NEW MEXICO. IN FACT, A NEW REPORT SHOWS THAT THROUGH THE FIRST 11 MONTHS OF FISCAL YEAR 2013, IMMIGRATION PROSECUTIONS IN THE STATE GREW AT A FASTER PACE THAN ANY OF THE COUNTRY'S 94 JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.
THERE'S NO CLEAR REASON FOR THE SPIKE IN NUMBERS. PROSECUTIONS HAVE RISEN SHARPLY NATIONWIDE DURING THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION…BUT NEW MEXICO SAW DECLINES THE LAST THREE YEARS.
