"The lawsuit comes before what many expect will be a broad effort by President Obama to protect from deportation millions of immigrants already living in the country illegally....
It's all a matter of enforcement decisions by the dictator.
He cares more about illegals than he does citizens.

"3 charged in N.M. transients’ killings" Associated Press July 22, 2014
ALBUQUERQUE — Three teenagers accused of fatally beating two homeless men beyond recognition with cinderblocks, bricks, and a metal fence pole may have been terrorizing transients around Albuquerque for months, police said Monday.
Alex Rios, 18, and two boys, ages 16 and 15, were arraigned Monday on murder charges in the Friday night slayings. They were ordered held in lieu of $5 million bond each.
Prosecutors had requested that bail be set at $1 million. In setting the higher bail, Metropolitan Court Judge Linda Rogers cited the gravity of the alleged crimes and the suspects’ potential to flee.
A third transient who escaped led police to the boys, who he said were known for attacking homeless people.
The 15-year-old told police the trio had attacked more than 50 people over the last year.

"Judge backs right to critical speech" Albuquerque Journal June 25, 2014
ALBUQUERQUE — A federal judge came down hard on a New Mexico village after officials tried to ban residents from saying anything negative at council meetings.
US District Judge James O. Browning issued an injunction on Monday finding that the village of Ruidoso’s rule or policy barring speakers from being critical is ‘‘an unconstitutional burden on free speech,’’ the Albuquerque Journal reported.
Under the village rules, a speaker could praise personnel, staff, or the village council, or could make a neutral comment, but could not voice criticism.
In an 89-page opinion, Browning granted summary judgment to lawyer William Griffin, who sued after the council refused his request to speak at a meeting.
Browning said limits can be placed on time and topic, but not on the speaker’s opinion.
Greg Williams, president-elect of the New Mexico Foundation for Open Government, said the public has an interest in having meetings run in an orderly fashion but said Browning’s opinion shows that ‘‘a policy that says you can’t be critical is improper.’’
‘‘You can block topics, but not viewpoints, and negative is a viewpoint,’’ Williams said.
Nothing in New Mexico law requires a body to allow the public to speak, although the law requires that meetings be open, the opinion notes.
The ruling is the second federal opinion in New Mexico this year regarding limiting speech at public meetings.
In late March, Chief US District Judge M. Christina Armijo ruled against a decision by the Albuquerque Public Schools board to expel Charles ‘‘Ched’’ MacQuigg.
Board members said they took the action because MacQuigg would shout out during board meetings, hover over administrators, and once donned an elephant mask that made employees feel uncomfortable and unsafe.

"Teens hurt in explosion at bonfire" | Las Vegas Review-Journal June 12, 2014
HENDERSON, Nev. — A drum of fuel left too close to a bonfire exploded in the desert in southern Nevada this week, injuring seven young people who gathered to celebrate a high school graduation, fire officials and a witness said.
Maddie Anderson, a graduate of the Henderson Basic High School who was among the injured, said a boy rolled a 55-gallon barrel of diesel fuel to the edge of the blaze near an abandoned building, and the container blew up a short time later, she said.
The teenagers were out of cellphone range, she said, and they had to drive themselves to University Medical Center in nearby Las Vegas....
