(The Center Square) – As U.S. attorneys continue to charge illegal border crossers for crimes, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Mexico is playing a key role in a state whose governor has refused to partner with Texas or federal border security efforts.
In one week, 190 charges were brought against illegal border crossers in New Mexico, including 78 with illegal reentry after previously being deported, 10 with “alien smuggling,” 36 with illegal entry, 66 with illegal entry in violation of a military security regulation and entering military, Naval or Coast Guard property in a newly established National Defense Area in New Mexico, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
