Panel accused of shirking order ALBUQUERQUE — An Oklahoma-based American Indian tribe is accusing the National Indian Gaming Commission of shirking a federal court order to reconsider an earlier decision that prohibited the tribe from conducting gambling on its land in southern New Mexico. Attorneys for the Fort Sill Apache filed a motion Tuesday, calling for the commission to be held in con- tempt. A previous order required the commission to reconsider its 2015 decision as part of a settlement process after receiving an opinion from the U.S. Interior Department on the tribe’s eligibility to conduct gaming at Akela Flats, New Mexico. The commission notified the tribe last week there were no grounds for reconsidera- tion. The commission did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Homicides up in Albuquerque ALBUQUERQUE — Though the number of homicides in Albuquerque has increased, the number of cases solved by police has gone down. KOAT-TV reports that Albuquerque Police saw 61 homicides in 2016, the most on record in 20 years, but the department’s homicide clearance rate dropped to 65 percent. APD spokeswoman Celina Espinoza says the department’s homicide clearance rate had previously been around 80 percent for several years. Espinoza says the department is close to closing multiple homicide cases from 2016. Albuquerque Police Officers Association President Shaun Willoughby says the drop in case clearance is in part because of an ongoing officer shortage within the department. Right now, only 846 officers are on the force when the department is budgeted for 1,000.

By Michael Graczyk THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON — Former President George H.W. Bush, who has pneumonia, remained in stable condition Thursday at Houston Methodist Hospital, while his wife, Barbara, said she is feeling “1,000 percent better” after undergoing treatment for bronchitis. Bush spokesman Jim McGrath said the 41st president’s physicians are “actively evaluating him” for removal of a breathing tube that was inserted Wednesday in a procedure to clear his airway. Bush has since been in the intensive care unit, relying on a ventilator to breathe. Removing the tube — known as extubation — would allow the 92-year-old Bush to breathe on his own. He was struggling to breathe when he was admitted to the hospital Saturday. “President Bush had a good night’s rest,” Los Angeles Times: Don Bartletti McGrath said. “We are hopeful he will be dis- charged from the ICU in a few days.” Teenage migrant farm workers pick ripe Roma tomatoes in Cristo Rey, Sinaloa, Mexico. Barbara Bush, 91, was admitted Wednesday and diagnosed with bronchitis after feeling fatigued and coughing for weeks. But she “reports she feels ‘1,000 percent Plan targets farm labor abuses better’ this morning.
