Albuquerque Protests, ICE Arrests, and Job Openings - Albuquerque Local Pulse, Jan 31
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Good morning, this is Albuquerque Local Pulse for Saturday, January 31. We kick off with breaking news from yesterday, when thousands of us filled Civic Plaza in Downtown Albuquerque, shutting down streets to protest ICE killings in Minneapolis and rally for House Bill 9, the Immigrant Safety Act that just passed the House to end local contracts with immigration detention centers. Protesters waved signs like Fight ignorance, not immigrants, while students from Albuquerque High walked out of classes, and businesses like La Finca Bowls and Books on the Bosque donated sales to mutual aid groups. City Hall and Alvarado Square closed early due to the crowds, but transit and 311 stayed open, showing our communitys passion for protecting everyone here, regardless of status.
Shifting to public safety, APD arrested repeat offender Kevin Baros last night in a tense standoff on the 2500 block of San Mateo Boulevard NE after he fled in a stolen Acura from a Turo rental. Hes facing charges of aggravated fleeing and resisting, on top of prior burglary warrants, reminding us to stay vigilant on our roads.
From city hall, Mayor Tim Kellers July executive order reaffirming Albuquerque as a sanctuary city got a boost from these protests, with offices reopening Monday. On jobs, we see over 20,000 openings locally, from 19-dollar-an-hour stockers at Costco on Wyoming to 20-dollar Member Service Reps at Navy Federal in Uptown and even FBI Special Agents paying up to 128 grand.
Weather today brings sunny highs near 55 under clear skies, perfect for weekend plans along Central Avenue, though chilly mornings mean bundle up. Outlook stays dry through Monday.
Quick cultural note, Route 66s centennial spotlight on Central means more events soon. UNM Hospitals new Critical Care Tower opens healthcare jobs. Schools buzz with walkout solidarity, and for feel-good, families like the Rhodericks joined grandkids at the march, standing for civility.
Upcoming, check community rallies and Route 66 walks this weekend. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and subscribe for more. This has been Albuquerque Local Pulse. Well see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a Quiet Please production, for more check out quietplease.ai.
