Another Dead After Police Shooting in NE Albuquerque

Albuquerque police shot and killed a man Friday evening after he charged at officers with a knife in Northeast Albuquerque.

According to APD Chief Cecily Barker, officers responded to reports of a person trespassing near Central Avenue and San Mateo in the International District. The man ran when officers contacted him and one officer chased him on foot.

“The individual remained behind a pillar at the Walgreens behind me, where he began yelling at the officers,” Baker said.

“They saw that he had a large knife in his hand, and they advised him numerous times to put the knife down.” she added.

According to Baker, authorities have charged the shooter with felony charges, including domestic violence and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

This is the third shooting in less than a week by APD.

Barker addressed the recent shootings, saying she recognizes and listens to the concerns, but she prioritizes the safety of her officers.

Deb Haaland Won the Gubernatorial Primary. Does Her Win Point to a State Ready for Its Next Chapter?

Deb Haaland, on a warm Tuesday evening after all the vote totals trickled in from polling precincts across New Mexico, stood on the cusp of making history in a state where her ancestors have lived for centuries. The former congresswoman and U.S. Secretary of the Interior had defeated Bernalillo County District Attorney Sam Bregman in the gubernatorial primary.

The victory all but ensures that Haaland, a member of the Laguna Pueblo, will become the Democratic nominee in a state that has not elected a Republican governor in more than two decades. If she prevails in November, she would be the first Native American woman elected governor in the United States.

The primary win was never much in doubt. Her poll before the primary and a commanding performance at the state Democratic convention in March had already indicated a clear preference among party voters. But the scale of her victory had a deeper meaning in a state long shaped by layers of history, hardship, and hope.

New Mexico is a place where centuries-old Pueblo communities coexist with federal lands, where oil and gas fields underpin the economy as solar farms lie across the desert. The state has persistent challenges, including low educational attainment, high poverty rates, and inequitable access to health care. Haaland’s campaign largely depends on her record of addressing those complexities. She banked mainly on her personal experience as a single mother who waited tables while earning a law degree, as the first Native American woman chosen to lead a state Democratic Party, as a lawmaker, and as the first Native American Cabinet secretary.

In victory speeches and pre-primary campaign engagements, Haaland described the race as the one around kitchen-table issues. “This election will decide if New Mexicans can pay their bills each month, see a doctor when they’re sick, have a quality public education, and feel safe in their community,” she said in the lead-up to the primary.

Bregman, her opponent, positioned himself as a prosecutor focused on public safety and accountability. But he had a difficult time overcoming Haaland’s name recognition and a coalition that included urban progressives in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, working-class Hispanic voters, and tribal communities.

Roots That Run Deep

Haaland claimed she is a “35th-generation New Mexican.” Most often, she invoked the long history of her family’s presence in the Rio Grande Valley. In an interview with Vogue, Haaland claimed her ancestors came to the Rio Grande Valley in the late 1200s. That lineage resonates more than rhetoric in a state where Indigenous, Hispanic and Anglo cultures have intersected — sometimes uneasily — for hundreds of years.

She served as Interior Secretary under the Biden administration. That portfolio gave her a national platform on public lands, energy development, and tribal sovereignty. Her supporters credited her with advancing protections for places like Chaco Canyon while managing the demands of extraction industries that employ thousands of New Mexicans. Critics, however, questioned the pace of reform on fossil fuels under her watch.

This time, the focus is on her home state. New Mexico lags near the bottom nationally on education, even as it benefits from federal support and a growing clean-energy sector. Crime and economic issues remain long-time concerns in Albuquerque and rural counties across the state.

A Blue State With Persistent Shades of Gray

On the other side of the aisle, the primary featured a competitive Republican nomination contest, with former Rio Rancho Mayor Gregg Hull, cannabis entrepreneur and former cabinet secretary Duke Rodriguez, and businessman Doug Turner trying to outdo each other for the Republican nomination for governor. At the end, Hull clinched the primary win and the chance to face Haaland.

The state has voted Democratic in every presidential election since 2008. But Republicans have found some elbow room in recent cycles on issues like crime and energy policy, especially in the oil-rich southeastern part of New Mexico.

Although Haaland enters the general election as a heavy favorite, governing a state as diverse as New Mexico is completely another story. New Mexico tests even the strongest mandates. Historically, coalitions that deliver primaries did not always translate it into solutions for underfunded schools or burdened health systems.

“Deb is a fierce champion for New Mexico who has secured millions of dollars in investment and thousands of good-paying jobs, while strengthening the state’s economy and preserving natural resources for generations to come,” said Democratic Governors Association Chair and Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear.

The path forward for Haaland, however, requires beyond rhetorical flourish. It will require translating symbolic firsts into concrete outcomes. She has daunting tasks in addressing child poverty and water rights that sustain both ancient pueblos and modern agriculture. Her biggest test is the economy, which must balance traditional industries with the demands of a changing climate.

Pristine Waters or Nuclear Fuel? Canadian Firm’s Uranium Drill Plan Ignites Firestorm in New Mexico’s Sacred Chama Watershed

Pristine Waters or Nuclear Fuel? Canadian Firm’s Uranium Drill Plan Ignites Firestorm in New Mexico’s Sacred Chama Watershed

A Vancouver-based company’s uranium drill plan in the Chama Basin has unleashed a fierce debate over energy security, environmental legacy, and the future of the basin, where the headwaters of the Rio Chama nourish one of the Southwest’s most vital river systems.

Gamma Resources Ltd. has filed a notice of intent with the U.S. Forest Service to conduct exploratory uranium drilling on about 900 to 4,500 acres of claims within the Carson National Forest. The area is approximately two miles south of the small Rio Arriba County community and about 20 miles north of Ghost Ranch, the home of Georgia O’Keeffe.

The Mesa Arc Project plans as many as 12 boreholes, each up to 500 feet deep, along a four-mile stretch. According to investors, the site has as much as three million pounds of uranium. If viable, the project would mark the first new uranium operation in decades on Carson National Forest land.

Swift, broad opposition against uranium drill plan

The proposal comes amid a resurgence worldwide in uranium demand. This resurgence is partly fueled by interest in nuclear power as a carbon-free energy source. But in northern New Mexico — a state already strained by the environmental and health heritage of past uranium mining, particularly on Navajo Nation lands — the plan has provoked swift and massive opposition.

“We will not allow this proposal to move forward without a full environmental review,” U.S. Sen. Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat, said in a statement. Luján, along with Sens. Martin Heinrich and Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández, urged the Forest Service to require a sweeping Environmental Impact Statement rather than a quick review. They are also drafting legislation to permanently withdraw the Chama Watershed from new mineral development.

Local leaders have joined the skirmish. Rio Arriba County commissioners unanimously passed a resolution opposing the planned project. The Upper Chama Soil and Water Conservation District and groups like New Mexico Wild have sprung into action. They cite risks to water, wildlife and traditional acequia irrigation systems.

Ghost Ranch officials have voiced alarm over possible risks to the landscape’s pristine air, land and cultural heritage. “We share the concerns of Northern New Mexico communities regarding uranium drilling here, and strongly oppose any activity that would jeopardize the pristine air, land, water, and wildlife that make this area so special,” said David Evans, Ghost Ranch’s chief executive officer.

What’s at stake

The Rio Chama is a major tributary of the Rio Grande. It supplies water to communities, serves as a lifeline to farms, and provides recreation and biodiversity. Opponents said that even exploratory drilling — building new roads and pads that could disturb radioactive materials — may introduce contaminants into surface and water sources.

New Mexico has a historical burden from uranium extraction. It is home to more than 1,000 traditional mining and milling sites, many of which have been abandoned, with ongoing Site rehabilitation issues and community impacts. Cleaning up these abandoned uranium sites requires a significant investment over the next decades, according to the New Mexico Uranium Reclamation 2024 Strategic Plan.

Gamma Resources describes the project as responsible exploration, which could help the U.S. achieve energy independence. The energy company has emphasized its focus on the Mountain West and has conducted preparatory archaeological surveys.

The Forest Service is still conducting a review of the completeness of the company’s notice as of late spring this year. No drilling has started. But the level of the required environmental analysis remains a flashpoint.

Deeper tensions

Rep. Leger Fernández visited the site in May along with local leaders. The lawmaker feared the Forest Service would only conduct a typical exploratory permit review that requires no cultural, economic, or environmental analyses. “So the company is not forced to explain to the community what the impact would be if they move forward with the whole project,” she said. “Those few wells are not the problem. The problem would be the larger mining operation itself.”

The planned uranium drill has ignited controversy, reflecting deeper tensions over how to balance the nation’s demand for critical minerals and clean energy with the need to safeguard the environment and Indigenous communities. These stakes are immediate — and personal for residents near Canjilon and downstream along the Chama.

Arrowsoul Art Collective presents Indigenous Freeways: Southwest Wildstyle within a mural installation featuring both Indigenous pictographic art styles & graffiti/mural styles. The exhibition is on until June 28th, 2026.

This headline is part of a larger story because it communicates how ‘Future Old School’ and ‘Indigenous Freeways’ are being defined differently. These projects reconnect communities along the Rio Grande via creative participation and cultural expression.

One example is that each piece uses character formations, illustrative forms, and textures to represent the places people come from. These murals reformulate the entire Southwest through Indigenous ways of knowing while also representing new definitions of self and place.

Indigenous art forms have provided many benefits, including the preservation of culture and a means for collaboration. Moreover, they create community engagement through collaborative mural projects and other artistic traditions. These forms offer educational enrichment by exposing new audiences to evolving ways of creating art. They also provide inspiration to future generations of artists.

The headline suggests that Indigenous Freeways is not just an art installation but a form of cultural dialogue. It connects the past, present, and future. Through visual storytelling, it strengthens the identity of Indigenous peoples.

In summary, this exhibition by Arrowsoul Art Collective offers a transformative experience for audiences. It unites traditional and innovative forms of expression. Furthermore, it reinforces the importance of art in community-building and cultural continuity.

Community-School Partnership Highlights Student Success

Communities play a vital role in shaping every child’s future. They influence the choices children make, especially in their academic journey. Albuquerque Public Schools partners with communities to implement initiatives that help students explore future opportunities.  

Just recently, students at Comanche Elementary School ended the school year with a hands-on Career Exploration Day. The event introduced them to a wide variety of future career paths.

Community partners across Albuquerque connected students with professionals representing both public- and private-sector careers for hands-on learning. Learners built engineering models with a civil engineer and climbed into the cab of the New Mexico Department of Transportation’s giant snow plow, “Alice Scooper.” These interactive activities allowed students to explore careers in engaging ways.

Participating organizations included Albuquerque Ambulance Service, Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office, City of Albuquerque Sanitation Department, and civil engineer Jaan Yang. Additional participants included Duke City Redi Mix, PNM, New Mexico Department of Transportation, and Albuquerque Police Department.

School leaders said the event connected classroom learning to real-world opportunities and inspired students to explore future careers with curiosity. 

Comanche Elementary thanked community partners for volunteering their time and supporting the event. The school recognized their efforts during the busy end-of-year and holiday season. 

A Celebration of Community

Meanwhile, Inez Science and Technology Magnet School welcomed students, families, staff and community partners this spring for its annual Community School Talent Show and Family Picnic. The event stands as one of the school’s most anticipated gatherings of the year.

Students spent weeks preparing and auditioning for performances as individuals, small groups and entire classes. They took the stage to showcase their talents for the school community.

This year’s event carried special meaning as the Inez community celebrated longtime PE teacher Michael Anderson’s dedication and impact. Former Inez Rockets and families returned to campus, shared memories, and celebrated his years of service to students and community.

Additionally, the event highlighted strong partnerships that support Inez as both a Community School and STEM Magnet school. Community organizations attended the event, including Central New Mexico Community College, Girl Scouts of the USA, Sunward Credit Union, the Transgender Resource Center and The Health Plan Place. They shared resources, activities, and crafts with families.

Earlier, Inez fourth graders joined walking field trips and learned basic glass cutting and mosaic art techniques. During the family picnic, students and families added pieces to a large community mosaic that will be displayed at school.

School leaders described the evening as festive, meaningful, and a celebration of strong belonging and community at Inez Elementary.

Albuquerque is Raising the Minimum Wage to $15 by 2030 — Here’s How it Could Reshape Paychecks, Families, and Local Businesses

Albuquerque is Raising the Minimum Wage to $15 by 2030 — Here’s How it Could Reshape Paychecks, Families, and Local Businesses

The Albuquerque City Council approved a gradual increase in the city’s minimum wage, a decision arrived at after a bitter debate marked by public outbursts, accusations of political maneuvering, and the removal of two members of the audience.

The measure raises Albuquerque’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2030, but not all at once. Instead of a one-time wage hike, the council approved an amendment that phases in the increase through annual $1-per-hour raises over the next three years. Afterward, daily wages would rise automatically with inflation through annual cost-of-living adjustments.

A larger national question overshadowed the debate: How quickly should wages increase to keep pace with the climb of prices for housing, food, and transportation?

What the Minimum Wage Raise Means for Workers

The additional dollar per hour is equivalent to approximately $2,080 in extra earnings per year before taxes for a full-time employee working 40 hours a week. Under the approved plan:

  • A worker who received a $1 hike would gain about $173 more per month before taxes.
  • A $2 increase would amount to about $347 more per month.
  • A $3 increase would generate roughly $520 more per month, or over $6,000 annually.

That difference could help many city households cover rising rent, utility bills, groceries or gasoline costs. These expenses have outpaced wage growth in recent years.

Several studies have shown that minimum-wage workers spend most of their income immediately on necessities. That could mean higher wages tend to flow directly back into local businesses and neighborhoods.

Why Business Owners Wanted a Slower Timeline

Restaurant owners and other small-business operators pointed out that an immediate increase would squeeze already slim margins. Carol Wight of the New Mexico Restaurant Association said businesses are still adjusting to chronic inflation, rising labor costs, and higher operating costs. A gradual increase, she argued, provides business owners time to adjust pricing, improve productivity, and absorb additional manpower costs without reducing personnel or their working hours.

The concern is true throughout the country. Business groups frequently caution that rapid wage increases can force employers to raise prices, reduce staff size, or postpone expansion plans. “People (need) to understand that it’s not just people making minimum wage that can’t afford things; it’s also people who give jobs that can’t afford to keep raising their prices,” Wight said.

The Politics Behind the Vote

The meeting itself became nearly as remarkable as the policy the council approved. Council President Klarissa Peña had forced her to order the removal of two individuals from the chamber after repeated violations of council rules during public comment. Peña ordered the removal of one speaker after comments that she characterized as ridiculing others. Another was escorted out after directly addressing a council member rather than speaking through the council chair.

The disputes escalated further after labor advocate Thomas Abeyta alleged an email indicating Councilor Dan Lewis had been working with apartment associations to oppose the wage hike. Lewis offered no public comment on the allegation at the meeting.

The exchange highlighted the conflicting interests surrounding the ordinance. Pro-labor supporters of the measure argue wages have failed to keep up with Albuquerque’s cost of living. On the other hand, several business and property groups worry about the economic effects of higher labor costs that the wage could bring.

The Bigger Question: Will It Be Enough?

Even supporters admit that a minimum wage reaching $15 an hour by 2030 may not fully address affordability issues. Housing costs in Albuquerque have risen significantly over the past decade. Many workers earning near the minimum wage spend a big share of their income on rent alone.

The final increase three years from now could provide meaningful relief for a household with one full-time minimum-wage worker. Advocates insist, however, that rising costs would exceed wage growth. Many families may still suffer despite the higher pay base.

The council’s vote therefore is both a victory and a compromise. It promises a minimum wage hike for workers while delaying the full monetary impact on business owners. But for city residents who live paycheck to paycheck, the debate is not only about an hourly wage. It was about how much is left in a family budget after paying for food, housing, and transportation.

What to Know About Sister Blandina Segale, the Nun Who Tamed the Wild West

What to Know About Sister Blandina Segale, the Nun Who Tamed the Wild West

Sister Blandina Segale’s story has occupied a unique place in the folklore of the American Southwest for over a hundred years. It was part religious history, part Wild West legend.

Now, the Italian-born nun known as the “Fastest Nun in the West” has moved a step closer to becoming the first woman from New Mexico to be a saint after the Catholic Church formally advanced her cause for sainthood. Vatican theologians recently unanimously approved advancing Sister Blandina’s cause, according to the lead petitioner for the cause, Allen Sánchez.

The decision, Sanchez said, brought her closer to being declared “Venerable,” a designation reserved for Catholics who lived lives of heroic virtue. Cardinals and Bishops will next review the recommendation before presenting it to Pope Leo XIV.

Many Catholics in New Mexico and beyond viewed the development as a renewed interest in the life of Sister Blandina, a woman whose life often seemed more suited to a Western adventure novel than a convent chronicle.

A Nun on the Frontier

She was born Rosa Maria Segale in Italy in 1850. Sister Blandina immigrated to the United States as a child and joined the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. At the age of 22 in 1872, the Sisters of Charity assigned her to the rugged frontier territories of the American Southwest.

Sister Blandina encountered a region marked by poverty, violence, and rapid change. But she never retreated from danger. Instead, Sister Blandina immersed herself in it by establishing schools and hospitals. She lived among them by ministering to immigrants and Native communities, and journeyed across remote settlements at a time when law enforcement was weak and violence commonplace.

Quickly, her name and reputation for courage spread throughout New Mexico and Colorado.

The Legend of the “Fastest Nun in the West”

One of the stories that has cemented her place in Western history is her storied intervention to prevent lynchings and acts of vigilante violence. Church records have preserved accounts where Sister Blandina confronted armed mobs and persuaded them to abandon plans for extrajudicial executions. One popular account has Sister Blandina reportedly convincing a crowd to spare a man accused of murder. She insisted that justice should be left to the courts.

These documented acts cemented Sister Blandina’s reputation for fearlessness and compassion in a region where justice by mob rule often prevailed.

Her Unlikely Friendship With Billy the Kid

Perhaps no episode has captured the public imagination more than Sister Blandina’s friendship with Billy the Kid, the notorious outlaw of the Southwest. According to her own account, she met the legendary gunfighter and maintained a cordial relationship with him. Billy the Kid remains one of the most infamous names of the American West; Sister Blandina viewed him as a troubled young man who needed redemption.

The encounters became part of the mythology surrounding her life. It highlighted her lifelong belief that no person was beyond mercy and redemption.

A Written Record of the Old West

Her memoir, At the End of the Santa Fe Trail, recorded much of what is known about Sister Blandina’s backcountry experiences. The book offers a lesser-known account of life in the Southwest during the late nineteenth century. It documented encounters with settlers, outlaws, Indigenous communities, and ordinary people struggling to survive in a rapidly changing region.

Historians today regard her book as an important document of the social and cultural history of the American frontier.

What Happens Next?

It needs Pope Leo XIV’s approval of the recommendation for Sister Blandina to receive the title of “Venerable.” The title is an acknowledgment that she lived a life of heroic virtue. But the path to sainthood would still require additional steps.

The Church must verify a miracle attributed to her intercession for her beatification and declare her “Blessed”. Another verified miracle occurring after beatification is a requirement for her canonization, the final step in declaring her a saint.

Another New Mexican on the Path

Sister Blandina has joined another New Mexican whose cause the Catholic Church has advanced to sainthood. Commonly known as the “Bishop of the Barrio,” Alphonse Gallegos is also under consideration for sainthood. Born in Barelas, New Mexico, he got his early sacraments in the state before moving to California. There, he spent much of his ministry serving communities at the margins.

The church under Pope Francis declared him venerable on July 8, 2016, a decade after his beatification process began.

But the attention, at the moment, is focused on the storied life of a frontier nun whose life bridged faith and legend. Remembered as a fearless nun who confronted violence with compassion and met danger with conviction, Sister Blandina’s story continues to reverberate far beyond the dusty trails of the Old West she once traveled.
