New Mexico’s special legislative session lasted roughly five hours before adjourning on Thursday of last week. As KRWG’s Jonny Coker reports, Southern New Mexicans are grappling with public safety concerns and how best to address the issue moving forward. In wake of the special session’s abrupt ending, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham will be speaking at the Las Cruces Convention Center Thursday at 5:30 p.m.

The annual Femme Frontera Filmmaker Showcase will be an all-day “minifest” this year on Saturday, August 10 at the Plaza Theatre’s Philanthropy Theatre in downtown El Paso. Scott Brocato spoke with two of Femme Frontera’s co-directors, filmmakers Ryan Rox and Jackie Barragan, about what to expect at the upcoming Minifest.

The town hall will focus on public safety.

Las Cruces police are asking for information from anyone who may have witnessed the crash.
