New Mexicans march to honor Martin Luther King Jr.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Hundreds of people gathered Saturday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. A crowd marched from the University of New Mexico campus to the convention center downtown to pay tribute.
“Martin Luther King was a hero in the fight against racism and war, both in this country and around the world. We understand that that fight is not over, racism continues in this country and racism in the form of genocidal wars continues around the world,” said Ben Imbus with A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition.
Among those marching, Sandia High School’s Black Student Union.
“We want to teach African Americans the importance and what African Americans used to do and how they were important to this role in Albuquerque, and why you should never be scared of your skin color, or, you know, feel bad that you are darker than anyone else,” said Zion Jones, president of Sandia High School’s Black Student Union.
Sandia’s JORTC was also one of two Albuquerque Public Schools out Saturday morning. Jacob Baca says it was important to be there and present the colors for the march.
“We have a Black instructor, and he loves to be out here with us and loves our program. So we love to support him, and be out here as well,” said Baca.
Parade Marshall Coach Phil says seeing people from all walks of life come together is what it really means to honor Martin Luther King Jr.
“He just didn’t stand for Black people, he was speaking up for all races, creed, and color you know. That is very important that we can all come together as you can see the march, there was a rainbow of people there that is really awesome,” said Phil.
Once everyone made it downtown, they gathered at the convention center for a presentation.
“Continue the legacy of King, continue the legacy of standing against racism and standing against war just as King did in his lifetime,” said Imbus.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife rereleased a wolf into Grand County this week after it had traveled into New Mexico, according to a news release.
The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish captured gray wolf 2403 and returned the animal to Colorado.
Colorado wildlife officials decided to release the wolf in Grand County yesterday because of the proximity to “an unpaired female gray wolf,” nearby prey populations and distance from livestock, according to the release.
“Gray wolf 2403 has been returned to Colorado and released in a location where it can best contribute to CPW’s efforts to establish a self-sustaining wolf population while concurrently attempting to minimize potential wolf-related livestock conflicts,” said acting director of CPW Laura Clellan, according to the release.
The wolf was once a member of the Copper Creek pack but departed from it this fall.
A memorandum of understanding between Colorado and Arizona, New Mexico and Utah requires that any gray wolves that leave Colorado and enter those states be returned. That was created in part to maintain the integrity of a Mexican wolf recovery program.
“We recognized during the planning process that we would need to have consideration and plans to protect the genetic integrity of the Mexican wolf recovery program, while also establishing a gray wolf population in Colorado,” said CPW’s Wolf Conservation Program Manager Eric Odell, according to the release.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – A judge sentenced a New Mexico man to nearly 20 years in prison for distributing meth and having guns in his possession to use while doing so.
Court records indicate 43-year-old David Amaya sold meth from a trailer on his parents’ property in Anthony throughout July and August 2024. Agents executed a search warrant Aug. 22 and found 1.18 kilograms of meth, two firearms and ammunition in the trailer and a makeshift bathroom.
Amaya pleaded guilty to possession of meth with intent to distribute it. A judge sentenced him to 235 months in prison.
Once he is out, Amaya will face five years of supervised release.
The FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office and the Las Cruces Metro Narcotics Task Force investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Kirk Williams prosecuted it.
