📰 News we're reading
• Feds move to seize New Mexico trust land near Santa Teresa for border wall construction (abqjournal.com subscription) — Federal officials are moving to condemn about seven acres of New Mexico state trust land just east of the Santa Teresa Port of Entry to expand border wall infrastructure, despite state opposition. Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard argues the seizure would cut off long-term revenue for New Mexico schools and beneficiaries and continues a years-long dispute over uncompensated federal use of border-area trust lands. 
• Mexican border basics (beefmagazine.com) — Santa Teresa is currently the largest U.S. port for Mexican cattle, handling nearly 43% of all crossings when the border is fully open. With rumors of a phased border reopening, experts say it could take weeks to restaff ports and months for cattle flows to rebound, which would directly affect cross-border livestock traffic and related businesses tied to the Santa Teresa port.
