The Socorro Independent School District is considering a $2,500 incentive for up to 50 employees to voluntarily resign as part of workforce restructuring efforts, though no final decision has been made. Meanwhile, New Mexico’s juvenile justice system is shifting toward rehabilitation, emphasizing counseling, education, and community support to reduce recidivism. In El Paso, a protest was held at the Bridge of the Americas by Familias Unidas del Chamizal opposing continued commercial truck traffic, citing health and safety concerns.
