Immigration officials terminate some UNM international student records
‘Lack of due process’ is ‘all very disturbing,’ Global Education Office official says
By Lily Alexander & Lauren Lifke
@llilyalexander & @lauren_lifke
The federal government terminated the records of several University of New Mexico international students amid reports of the revocation of hundreds of student visas across the country.
The Student & Exchange Visitor Information System is a federal tracking system for nonimmigrant students and exchange visitors in the United States, according to the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration. A “handful” of UNM students had their SEVIS records terminated recently, ac-
cording to UNM Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Cinnamon Blair. The termination of a SEVIS record does not necessarily mean a student’s visa was revoked, but there is often overlap between the two actions.
UNM did not release the number of students whose SEVIS records were terminated, though at least 10 student visas have been terminated at other universities in the state, according to the Albuquerque Journal. UNM is trying to limit any information that could identify students, according to Blair.
The University has never seen SEVIS records terminated like this before, according to Linda Melville, the director of international student and scholar services at UNM’s
Global Education Office. A visa revocation does not typically mean a student has to leave the country, she said, but with a SEVIS record termination, it is less clear.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s connected to anything I know about that’s regulatory,” Melville said. “The lack of due process is really freaking everybody out. It’s all very disturbing.”
According to the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration, there are four consequences after a SEVIS record termination: Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents may investigate to ensure the departure of a student, the student loses on- or off-campus employment authorization, the student cannot reenter the U.S., and dependent re -
cords are terminated.
UNM discovered the record terminations on Tuesday, April 8, during a routine SEVIS database check, according to Blair. The federal government notified neither the University nor the students impacted, Blair said.
“It’s kind of left us all confused, because what does it mean?” Melville said.
“If your record’s over — but you haven’t been notified or we haven’t been notified — what does that all mean?”
The Global Education Office is waiting to see how the record revocations will play out in court, and it will continue to send out guidance to international students. The American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan announced a lawsuit April 10 on behalf of international students at Michigan schools whose visas were revoked,
according to CBS.
In the past, SEVIS records were only terminated when UNM itself needed to take action, according to Melville, who has been working in international education for over 20 years.
“They were doing something to actively break the rules that we knew about, and we had to terminate the record,” Melville said.
This would also happen if students finished their time and had an expired SEVIS record, she said. But having an expired visa doesn’t automatically mean that a person is unlawfully in the U.S., Melville said.
“There’s never been: ‘Your visa has been revoked. Now your status is

UNM retracts some draft affirmative action policy changes after criticism
By Lily Alexander
@llilyalexander
After receiving hundreds of public comments largely criticizing the University of New Mexico’s prospective affirmative action policy changes, the school released two new draft policies Thursday, April 10.
The new draft policies keep in more references to affirmative action — or sometimes replace it with “inclusive excellence” — but still remove requirements for UNM to have an affirmative action plan and gather and report affirmative ac-
New public comment deadline April 20
tion data. The new policies also still remove the ability for a hiring official, in certain circumstances, to fill a position with a member of a historically underrepresented group if another more qualified member of a protected group is unlikely to apply.
The previous draft policies — released March 28 — removed nearly all references to affirmative action.
Affirmative action at UNM seeks to promote race and gender diversity in employment by recruiting qualified women, minorities, people with disabilities and protected veterans, according to UNM Compliance, Ethics, & Equal Opportunity.
The deadline for public comment on the two new draft policies, which can be found on the UNM Policy Office website, is April 20.
The standard public review and comment period for new policy drafts lasts 30 days. But the April 10 campus-wide email announcing the new proposed changes maintained that the shortened period is due to the “legal need” to revise the policies.
The Policy Office can respond to questions that people comment on each policy. After April 20, the comments and responses will be compiled and sent to Executive Vice President for Finance and Administration Te-
resa Costantinidis for endorsement, then President Garnett Stokes for approval. After that, the revised policies will be announced and issued on the Policy Office website.
The University announced March 6 that it reviewed and would revise its gender-, race- and ethnicity-based employment policies. This followed the United States Education Department’s Feb. 14 memo to universities across the country, directing them to end race-based programs or risk losing federal funding.
On Jan. 21, President Donald Trump revoked a 1965 executive order that required federal contractors
to create affirmative action plans and prohibited employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion and national origin by federal contractors, according to Reuters.
The new drafts are for Policy 2720: Equal Opportunity and Prohibited Discrimination (Interim) and Policy 3210: Recruitment and Hiring. Draft Policy 2720: Equal Opportunity and Prohibited Discrimination (Interim) University Administrative Policies - Policy 2720 outlines University

Governor authorizes deployment of National Guard to assist APD on Central Avenue
By Leila Chapa & Paloma Chapa
@lchapa06 & @paloma_chapa88
On April 7, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham declared a state of emergency in Albuquerque due to a “significant increase” in crime, authorizing emergency funds for the New Mexico National Guard to assist the Albuquerque Police Department, according to her executive order.
Beginning in mid-May, 60-70 National Guard members will be deployed to Albuquerque, according to a press release from the governor’s office. They
will focus particularly on Central Avenue, which encapsulates the southern boundary of the University of New Mexico’s main campus.
Lujan Grisham signed the order after APD Chief Harold Medina sent her a memorandum requesting assistance due to the “fentanyl epidemic coupled with an increase in violent juvenile crime.” In the memorandum, Medina wrote that the problem “can only be resolved with consistent and visible presence of APD officers to Albuquerque’s citizens.”
“By deploying our National Guard to support APD with essential duties, we’re ensuring that trained police officers can focus on what they do best — keeping our communities safe,” Lu-
jan Grisham said in the press release. “This partnership represents our commitment to addressing the fentanyl crisis and juvenile crime with every resource at our disposal.”
During a press conference, Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller said the New Mexico National Guard will be dressed as civilians in polos and will not be doing law enforcement.
“There is not going to be anyone with weapons,” Keller said. “There’s not going to be anyone in fatigues. There’s not going to be any military vehicles.”
The Department of Finance Administration will make available $750,000 in emergency funding for the New Mexico National Guard, according to the executive order.

City of Albuquerque Director of Communications and Marketing Staci Drangmeister told the Daily Lobo that the National Guard will not be “just walking around or doing things,” on campus, but if there is an incident in the area they will help with “scene security.”
Daniel Williams, a policy advocate for the American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico, said he is concerned this move will criminalize homelessness.
“When we hear folks talk about safety issues on Central, (it) is often this sort of villainization of our unhoused neighbors,” Williams said.
A majority of people at the Bernalillo County Metropolitan Detention Center are unhoused,
according to Williams and the MDC Population Dashboard. Williams said he thinks that fentanyl use cannot be addressed using the criminal legal system.
“I think we need to be looking at the tools of the public health system,” he said. “I think that’s a much more effective way of addressing fentanyl in our communities than sending more people to jail.”
Shawn Snow is a member of the unhoused community who resides on Central Avenue with his dog, Dude.
“It has been such a war against us,” he said.

UNM faculty members hold discussion, Q&A on tariffs
By Lexis Lovato @lovatolexis
On Wednesday, April 9, the Albuquerque Consulate of Mexico and four University of New Mexico faculty members held a public meeting to discuss and answer questions about the tariffs recently implemented by President Donald Trump.
Earlier this month, Trump paused tariffs on nearly 60 countries, but imposed 145% tariffs on products from China, according to the New York Times. In the simplest form, tariffs are taxes on goods that come from other countries, Reilly White, a UNM
associate professor of finance, told the Daily Lobo in March.
Event coordinator and law professor Paul Figueroa believes that tariffs will raise government revenue, but he finds “less empirical evidence” to substantiate the idea that the tariffs will save money for the average consumer, he said.
Figueroa also highlighted the agreements of the World Trade Organization system, which serve as an essential structure for bilateral trading, he said. These rules and regulations are decided by each partnership, and thereby countries are obligated to adhere to them, according to Figueroa.
“If the United States is successful in cutting bilateral deals with many countries, it completely undermines the W.T. rule system. Every country will basically have ‘rules-a-la-carte,’” Figueroa said.
Manuel Montoya, a professor of global political economy and cultural economics, described Trump’s endgame as “hyper-short term.”
“We live in a world where rationality changes in real time, because we memorialize everything in real time, we historicize everything in real time,” Montoya said. “Political cycles now are dependent upon instant gratification of the moment and how that moment can be defined
… The rationality of these tariffs is not grounded in economic logic, it’s grounded in its ability to perform some element of urgency that people will pay attention to.”
Although the outcomes of the tariffs are unclear now, Consul of Mexico Patricia Pinzón Sánchez recalled a similar situation in 2019 when Trump threatened a 25% tariff on Mexican imports, but it was voided after negotiation.
UNM political science professor Wendy Hansen highlighted the complexity of the language around tariffs, and said that even within her own profession, she has difficulty keeping up with the news.
“It’s complicated, and it’s hard for the average person to keep a grasp of what’s going on because you have to know a lot of the terminology that’s being thrown around,” Hansen said. “I teach a class on government regulation and public policy, and literally I can say something one day and I have to come in the next day and say, ‘Well, that’s no longer true.’”

Governor signs bill increasing grad student funding, expanding scholarship eligibility
By Elliott Wood @dailylobo
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a bill Tuesday, April 8 to increase funding for eligible graduate students, allowing them to now receive 100% of tuition and fees.
The now-law will widen the scope of eligibility and the amount awarded to graduate students via the Graduate Scholarship Act.
The Graduate Scholarship was created by the New Mexico State Legislature with the New Mexico Higher Education Department to increase graduate enrollment of underrepresented groups at public post-secondary institutions,
according to University of New Mexico Graduate Studies.
Previously, the GSA awarded $7,200 per year for tuition and fees to eligible graduate students, leaving some paying hundreds of dollars out of pocket to make up the difference, according to UNM Dean of Graduate Studies Maria Lane, based on an average cost of $4,000 per semester. The language is now updated to read “one hundred percent of tuition and fees.”
Furthermore, a past requirement for eligibility was enrollment in an assistantship program — think research and teaching assistants — which typically included coverage of tuition. But now, that requirement can be subverted by maintaining a 3.0 GPA if an assistantship or work study isn’t manageable.
A remaining question is whether or not said tuition coverage by a UNM apprenticeship would exclude students from also receiving financial aid through the GSA. Lane said UNM Graduate Studies was still awaiting an answer on the distinction from the New Mexico Higher Education Department as of Friday, April 11.
In terms of eligibility, the law removes United States citizenship as a requirement, instead limiting the pool of candidates to existing residents of New Mexico.
The change that may most affect graduate students is the change to the maximum time funding can be reapplied for: eight semesters for all students enrolled in at least six credit hours of a graduate field of study, or
until a degree is received by the student. In the past, this was limited to the first and second years of a master’s degree and the first, second and third years of a doctoral degree.
“Every scholarship opportunity that we can add or that we can broaden or that we can make more flexible is a win for us,” Lane said.
The Graduate and Professional Student Association has been involved with the bill since 2021, according to GPSA President Michel Rivera Ramirez, with its main objective being raising the amount of money awarded to students. He said that while $7,200 was a sizable amount of money in 1991 — the last time the bill was substantially amended — it was time to update it for the monetary needs of
today’s graduate students.
He also said he hopes the bill will help the state as a whole to maintain graduates and professionals amid what he called a big shortage of the latter, especially in rural areas.
“We’re very proud to have done something that meets the needs of UNM and New Mexico as a whole, since this bill does go for all postsecondary institutions in the state,” Rivera Ramirez said.

Construction on new UNMPD headquarters set to begin this month
By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo
Construction on the new headquarters for the University of New Mexico Police Department is set to begin this month in the former Greek Lot.
The new UNMPD headquarters, on the southeast corner of University Boulevard and Mesa Vista Road, will replace the current headquarters located in Hokona Hall and include an updated dispatch center, dedicated training areas and a public meeting room, according to Lt. Tim Delgado.
The project will address the growing need for a facility dedicated to supporting effective operations, ensuring safety and enhancing community engagement on campus, Delgado wrote in a statement to the Daily Lobo.
“The new facility will provide easier access for our campus community,” Delgado wrote. “The new facility presents a major opportunity to enhance safety, strengthen collaboration with students and staff and create a welcoming professional space that reflects our commitment to service.”
A request for renovation of the current headquarters was submitted in 2018 but was denied for unknown reasons, Delgado wrote.
Funding for the new 16,000-square-foot facility was ultimately secured with the support of
the UNM Board of Regents, President Garnett Stokes and other key UNM personnel, according to Delgado.
The projected cost of the new UNMPD headquarters is $16.36 million, with $9 million in funding coming from a 2023 UNM institutional bond.
Construction is set to begin this month and will take about 14 months to complete, according to Delgado.
UNMPD currently operates with 42 sworn police officers — a number the department thinks will rise as the new facility attracts a larger number of recruits by representing a more professional and welcoming working environment, Delgado wrote.
It will also aid in the retention of current police officers, Delgado wrote.
The construction of the new police headquarters on campus marks the first time in UNMPD’s history that a building will be specifically designed for police functions.
“We want people to feel a sense of safety, respect, and connection the moment they walk in. A space that reflects trust, transparency, pride,” Delgado wrote. “This is not just a building; it is a promise to our community that we are here, we care, and we are committed to serving with integrity.”

Museum STEM night lets adults express their inner child
By Emmet Di Mauro & Elijah Ritch @dailylobo
On Friday, April 11, the National Museum of Nuclear Science & History hosted an adult STEM night called “Discovery After Dark.” The event invited people 21 years and older to experience the museum’s “thoughtprovoking and engaging exhibits while participating in hands-on science, technology, engineering, art, and math fun,” according to Visit Albuquerque.
Attendees were catered to by local vendors, such as food trucks and the nearby Bombs Away Beer Company.
Among the exhibits was a booth where Gabriel Nemiroff, the museum’s director of education, gave lessons on folding origami cranes. The origami cranes were part of a project called Peace Cranes, related to a large hanging art installation above the exhibit.
Peace Cranes “invites every student on the planet to fold an origami crane, write a message of peace on its wings, then exchange it with another student somewhere in the world,” according to its website. The project comes from the story of Sadako Sasaki, a child who suffered from cancer as a result of radiation from the nuclear bombings in Japan and folded over 1,000 origami cranes before she died, according to the website.
Nearby, a volunteer presided over a booth that demonstrated how to use a Geiger counter.
Upon stepping outside, where old planes and rockets are on display as a part of the museum’s permanent collection, another volunteer operated an arts-and-craft stand where visitors could make small “smash rockets.”
Near the entrance to the museum was a DJ with a replica of Wall-E hanging out nearby. Another type of music occasionally filled the building, com-
ing from an exhibit with Tesla coils that generated sound.
Musical notes from a laptop played through two solid state Tesla coils, producing purple flashes of electricity as various popular songs, such as the “Pirates of the Caribbean” theme music, boomed through the room.
Jennifer Galloway, the museum’s director of development, said that after the success of the museum’s annual STEM event in February — which is geared toward kids and families — it developed Discovery After Dark to get adults interested in STEM fields and activities.
Both museum staff and volunteers developed their own exhibits.
“We have planning meetings, and we’re like ‘Okay, who’s got an idea? What do you want to do?’ and we come up with it together,” Galloway said. “We let people on the team decide what we want to do and how we should implement that.”

White Boy of the Month contest at UNM shut down
By Nate Bernard & Maria Fernandez @natebernard14 & @dailylobo
The “White Boy of the Month” contest, an event with 21 contestants and over 50 attendees, was abruptly ended by University of New Mexico authorities on Thursday, April 10.
The 21 contestants would have competed with impressions, dancing and any audience-suggested options while standing on a stool.
Event posters posted around campus, featuring images of Zac Efron, Timothée Chalamet and Justin Bieber, encouraged all to compete.
“Everybody welcome, White Boy is a mindset,” the posters read.
Students Adeline Ashcraft, Laurence Omaoeng, Kylie Pinedo and
Abigail Smith organized the project — which included event marketing and advertising — for an Introduction to Digital Media class. The organizers started an Instagram account to promote it, which garnered 352 followers as of Sunday, April 13.
The first contestant, Tony Hinkle, started off the competition by loudly exclaiming “Hello, fellas.”
“I actually forgot that this was happening this morning, and I literally put this on. It’s sage green cargo capris; I got my silk yellow Hawaiian shirt. This is how I dress,” Hinkle said. Hinkle said he wore a “dad white boy fit,” unique from the other outfits seen at the competition.
Contestant Delano Shank arrived to compete wearing shorts and a trucker hat that said “God’s silliest goose,” which he chose with inspiration from the dad outfits in 20th-century horror films like “A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy’s Revenge.”
“I’m also wearing a shirt that says, ‘Don’t talk with me. I’m a Marine,’” Shank said. “I’ve never been involved in the Marines whatsoever. I asked one of my friends who is a Marine his opinion of this shirt, and he said that it’s only funny because I’m not in the Marines, but if I was in the Marines, I
would be ridiculed for such a display of bravado.”
During the introductions, two contestants who were twins broke tradition and introduced themselves simultaneously. Some crowd members booed the twins, alleging that two people running together was against the rules.
“We didn’t set rules, so I guess it’s legal,” Ashcraft said.
Before the contestant introductions finished, UNM Police Department officers and UNM Student Activities Center officials asked the event coordinators to stop the event, citing a lack of permits to hold it on University property.
Riot Entertainment sponsored the event, which, according to Student Activities Center Director Ryan Lindquist, is an off-campus company that did not have business rights on UNM property.
“We were originally told the event would only include about 15 people. The turnout was closer to 70,” Lindquist said. “As with all events on campus, proper permits are needed. Those permits were not obtained for this event. If they were to have gone through that process, we would’ve allowed it.”
The event was scheduled to be
held on Johnson Field, but in the days leading up to it, UNM Recreational Services staff emailed Omaoeng and said that permissions hadn’t been obtained for the space. The email instructed the organizers to move locations, which led to the contest being held on the Casas del Rio basketball courts.
Upon arrival, UNMPD first expressed concerns about the speakers provided by the event sponsor, which were removed to allow the event to continue, according to the organizers. When Lindquist determined that too many attendees were at the event, he asked event coordinators to shut it down and disperse everybody, Pinedo said.
“I’m really disappointed that it got shut down,” Hinkle said. “I think the police are party poopers. It’s just a group of students gathering.”

Jo’s Farms celebrates lavender with plant sale
By Elizabeth Bolke @dailylobo
Jo’s Farms — located in Albuquerque’s North Valley — held a plant sale from April 4-6 as part of its mission to highlight love and enthusiasm for lavender.
Owner Lisa Fontanarosa purchased Jo’s Farms in 2017. The farm is named after her mother,
Josephine, she said.
When Fontanarosa purchased the property, it was filled with horses, donkeys and alpacas, she said. But she saw the vision of a lavender field.
Fontanarosa and her husband Joe Ornelas practice organic farming, avoiding pesticides and fertilizers. Instead, they use their chickens as their own free pesticides and fertilizers, and use ditch water for watering plants, Fontanarosa said.
Jo’s Farms offers a variety of lavender-based products, including sachets, bath salts, dryer bags and plants for sale. All their products are crafted using the lavender cultivated in their own fields.
The farm has two types of lavender: Grosso lavender, known for its high fragrance, and Provence lavender, used for cooking, Fontanarosa said.
“We didn’t know if it would live, much less survive,” she said. “To
our surprise, it thrived.”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Fontanarosa and Ornelas opened the farm to the public, allowing visitors to enjoy lavender picking.
“It’s a whole family affair. So they’re all dressed up. They got their sun hats, they bring their little kids, and the kids are dressed up,” Ornelas said.
Jo’s Farms hosts an annual plant sale before each harvest season kicks off, followed by a “you-pick” event
each July, where guests can harvest their own bouquets of lavender.
“There’s nothing quite like being in a field, cutting your own lavender,” Ornelas said.

UNM hosts book talk on emotional connection to water bodies
By Dylan Anthony @dailylobo
On Tuesday, April 8, the third floor of Hodgin Hall hosted readings from “Water Bodies: Love Letters to the Most Abundant Substance on Earth,” edited by Laura Paskus. The event was put on by the University of New Mexico Water Resources Program and co-sponsored by three other UNM entities.
Many of the event’s attendees came from sustainability programs at UNM, dealing with the political and scientific issues surrounding water use. But this particular night focused on emotional connections to bodies of water.
“Water Bodies: Love Letters to the Most Abundant Substance on Earth” is a 2024 anthology featuring the works of writers, artists and poets.
“Specifically, I wanted an anthology that would help us remember that water isn’t just what it serves us. It’s not just for irrigation; it’s not even just for fish and ecosystems,” Paskus said. “Water is an entity, I believe, unto itself — with its own desires
and needs and wants — and should have its own rights.”
Paskus led the readings, followed by Leeanna Torres, Desiree Loggins, Maria Lane and Michelle Otero. Afterwards, instead of a Q&A, the speakers and audience took turns naming their favorite body of water.
“I think it is important for us all to be together in community, especially right now, and to collectively allow water — and why water is important to us each individually — into our awareness,” Paskus said.
Paskus — a longtime environmental journalist — stepped down from hosting the NMPBS series
“Our Land: New Mexico’s Environmental Past, Present and Future” at the end of January.
“I spent twenty-something years as a journalist writing about the science, the legality, the management, the politics,” Paskus said. “With this book, I really just wanted to focus on the emotional connections.”

OPINION: Is Derrick Rose a Hall-of-Famer?
By Rodney Prunty @dailylobo
Former basketball player Derrick Rose is eligible to be inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame after the 2027-28 season. But the question is: is he a Hall-of-Famer? As much admiration as I have for the way D-Rose played the game of basketball, I do not believe that he is a Hall-of-Famer.
There is a lot of evidence pointing to the case for Rose being in the Hall of Fame. For starters, D-Rose was a crucial piece to the Chicago Bulls’ success during his early years with the team.
As far as his personal accolades, Rose is a three-time all-star, which he accomplished three years in a row from 2010-12. He won NBA Rookie of the Year in 2009, making the AllRookie First Team to boot.
By far, Rose’s most impressive ac-
colade was winning the NBA MVP in 2011. With this, he made NBA history, becoming the youngest player to ever win the award — which is still true to this day, according to Basketball Reference. In that same year, D-Rose was also named to the All-NBA 1st Team. Without a doubt, D-Rose’s accomplishments were no easy feat. But one issue with his Hall of Fame case is that his greatness was only for a short time. After the 2010-11 season, injuries
plagued his career, which set him back from his true potential in the NBA.
While Rose’s injuries were in no way his fault, unfortunately they hurt his Hall of Fame case. Availability is the best ability, and D-Rose just wasn’t available.
Rose is arguably the biggest “what if” in NBA history. Without injury issues, he would have easily been one of the best point guards of all time — and probably would’ve added some
rings to his accolades, too. While his prime was one of the greatest in the NBA, it was too short, and in my opinion that is why he is not a Hallof-Famer.

Who are the ‘bad girls’ of New Mexico history?
By Lexis Lovato @lovatolexis
Saturday, April 12,
Casa San Ysidro is a reconstructed historical building located in the village of Corrales. The property is owned by the Albuquerque Museum. On the second Saturday of every month, free public events are held there, featuring guest speakers who cover New Mexico history.
Tórrez said he believes the concept of crime interests people.
“Some of the most famous people in New Mexico are outlaws: Billy the Kid and Pat Garrett,” Tórrez said.
Visits to and tours of Casa San Ysidro typically cost $4-$6 on weekdays, but admission is free every Saturday from 10:30 a.m.-3 p.m.

over,’” Melville said.
Last month, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the State Department had revoked 300 or more student visas. As of Friday, April 11, that number is over 525, according to CNN.
It is unclear why the federal government terminated the UNM student SEVIS records, but the Trump administration has cited pro-Palestine protest affiliation as the reason for some students across the country being impacted, according to Axios. Previous arrests or convictions have also served as a reason, according to
the Presidents’ Alliance on Higher Education and Immigration. Other times, the reason is unknown.
“People — who have zero criminal history at all, have no social media commentary, no history of doing any kind of protest against anything — are scared about going out of the country and coming back in for legitimate activities,” Melville said. “It’s creating a lot of fear.”
Now, Melville said, the Global Education Office is telling its students they should be wary. It is important for students to follow every rule and be extremely careful, she said.
“We’re sad that it’s true, but it would
“People want to hear about that kind of thing. I don’t know if it’s a morbid thing or not, but there’s an interest.”
A couple of significant events discussed by Tórrez included the public
include things like making commentary on social media, if that’s what they’re looking for,” Melville said.
Everybody, not just international students, should also take extra precautions when going through U.S. borders, according to Melville.
“It’s a handful of people, but that doesn’t mean it’s going to stop,” Melville said. “The other shoe hasn’t dropped yet.”
For students who have been directly affected by the record terminations, Melville said the first step should be to get an attorney who specializes in immigration, civil rights or both.
“If it makes sense for (students)

Tórrez learns about the “Bad Girls of New Mexico” through public court records and news publications from the “wild west” period, he said. Tórrez also analyzes other criminal cases from the past 300 years to better understand how the cases were adjudicated.
and they want to leave, they can do that,” Melville said. “If it doesn’t make sense for them and they don’t want to leave, they should definitely be looking into legal action on their behalf so that they can stay — and it may or may not be possible.”
The best and the brightest come to the U.S. from other countries to participate in academics, and that is why the country has one of the greatest higher education systems in the world, she said.
“You don’t get there by excluding people,” Melville said. “You get there by allowing the people that are the smartest people in the world to be here.”

National Guard from page 1
Snow said he encounters police on a daily basis.
“The cops move us all the time — and I’m not breaking any law, I’m not obstructing this sidewalk,” he said. “I am sitting here reading my book, keeping to myself.”
Snow said he would like to see the city focus money and energy on finding places for the unhoused to live rather than locking them up.
Snow stayed at the Gateway West shelter, which transitioned to new ownership earlier this year, he said. Snow said it was “like being in a prison.”
“A tent city would be awesome,” Snow said. “It would probably be temporary until we started moving people of those into public housing — getting places like these motels that are closing down into studio apartments.”
When asked if the National Guard’s presence would impact the unhoused community, Drangmeister said that “they won’t be interacting directly with residents or the community.”
She said the National Guard will work at the Real Time Crime Center and the Prisoner Transport Unit, and help with scene security
Policy changes from page 1
equal opportunity and discrimination misconduct policies.
The new draft policy does not remove “affirmative action” from section 16, titled “Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action,” whereas the previous draft did.
The new draft adds that UNM “affirms its commitment to its diverse workforce and student body, which includes as part of its make-up traditionally underrepresented groups.”
It removes examples of these traditionally underrepresented groups, including “women, racial/ ethnic minorities (to include, Native Americans, Black/African Americans, Latinx/Hispanics, Asians, and Pacific Islanders), individuals with
disabilities, and veterans.”
The draft also adds that the University complies with applicable law regarding affirmative action requirements.
The changes would still remove the requirement for the University to create a written affirmative action plan that measures whether “women, minorities, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are being employed at the expected rate.”
They would also remove other University responsibilities regarding gathering and reporting affirmative action data.
The changes would also still mandate that departments ensure that people who have a limited
after “incidents.”
Selinda Guerrero, an organizer with the New Mexico chapter of Millions for Prisoners, said the executive order feels like a “betrayal by leadership” and targets vulnerable youth.
She said when vulnerable young people have idle time outside and no safe adults around, they can get “swallowed up” into trying drugs. She was out in the streets as a kid, she said.
“I was pushed out of school, I was living in poverty,” she said. “When you have those kinds of elements

Draft Policy 3210: Recruitment and Hiring
UAP - Policy 3210 describes recruitment and hiring procedures, as well as employment restrictions.
The new draft policy reads that one of its objectives is the “participation of qualified candidates from diverse groups in applicant pools in keeping with the University’s commitment and obligation to inclusive excellence.” It changes “affirmative action” to “inclusive excellence.”
The previous draft policy deleted this section.
at play against a young person, you don’t feel like you have a lot that you can live for, you don’t even feel like you have a community that you belong to.”
Guerrero said she works on the ground with vulnerable communities through ABQ Mutual Aid, which is a collective that delivers care packages to the unhoused.
“You have to be in a relationship with a vulnerable community to be able to help them assess their needs, to be able to help to build bridges to those needs,” Guerrero said. “That
The new draft policy maintains UNM’s commitment to “meeting its affirmative action responsibilities in recruiting and retaining a highly qualified and diverse workforce,” whereas the previous draft deleted this section, too.
It removes the requirement that “within a job group that is determined to have underutilization, a member of the underutilized group will be given preference.”
Under this draft, policies for alternative appointment, which occurs when the University needs to fill a position without conducting a recruitment, would still change. The draft removes a section stating that in these circumstances, a hiring official may

fill a position with someone who is a member of a historically underrepresented group if another more qualified member of a protected group is unlikely to apply.
The UNM Policy Office commented on both original policy drafts that “the goal of these policy revisions is to continue to ensure that UNM’s employment practices — including opportunities, hiring, promotion, retention, and pay — are equitable, fair, and non-discriminatory, and consistent with applicable law.”
