The Albuquerque Journal reports the companies are GEO Group Inc. and CoreCivic, which operate immigrant detention centers and private correctional facilities across the country. Spokesmen for the two companies say they do not operate facilities for unac- companied minors, and that their organizations do not advocate for or against immigration enforcement or detention policies. GEO Group operates sev- eral private prisons and relat- ed facilities in New Mexico, and CoreCivic runs a private prison and a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention cen- ter in Cibola County. Share prices of both GEO Group and CoreCivic have risen in response to Trump administration immigration policies. Feds: Up to $110M available to victims ALBUQUERQUE — Federal authorities say they will make up to $110 million available to help tribes sup- port Native American and Alaska Native crime victims, who advocates say were largely left out of a key fed- eral funding program for years. U.S. Justice Department officials announced the funding amount Tuesday in Albuquerque, citing the high rates at which Native Americans are victims of violence. The appropriation for tribes was included in the $1.3 trillion federal spending bill approved by Congress earlier this year. It allows for 3 percent from the multi-bil- lion-dollar Victims of Crime Act fund to be set aside for tribes. The funds have long been made available to states and federal agencies. Tribes in the past often had to submit requests to states if they wanted to seek money in the fund.

TEXICO — A months- long investigation into alle- gations of hazing by Texico baseball team members did not reveal wrongdoing on the part of any players or coaches, Superintendent Rob Brown said Tuesday. Brown said findings from Doug Bowman of the Texico Police Department were received June 13, and sent to both the Ninth Judicial District Attorney’s Office and the New Mexico State Police. “We shared all of the information we had, as well as the report from Officer (Doug) Bowman,” Brown said. “The final result is there was no evidence of any criminal activities or wrong- doing on behalf of our stu- dent athletes (or coaches). We believe very strongly in our Texico community and students.” Bowman confirmed Tuesday his investigation didn’t reveal anything to substantiate hazing allega- tions. Brown said coach Ty Thatcher was initially unaware of the police inves- tigation of the team, which started in late March, but aided in a school investiga- tion of the allegations. All Texico coaches coop- erated fully, Brown said, and worked with school officials to make sure there was no retaliation against potential accusers. If the allegations got to the Wolverines, it didn’t show on the field, as they went 27- 2 and rode an 11-game win- ning streak to their third- straight Class 3A state title. “I know we did some training with our staff and students,” Brown said, “and we are working with the dis- trict attorney to work on haz- Staff photos: Kevin Wilson ing training with all of our middle school and high Top: A group of campers tries to stave off defeat in a game of tug-of-war during Tuesday’s Clovis High School football youth camp at Leon school student athletes.
