Non-Local News Releases

Santa Fe, NM — Yesterday, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham signed onto a joint statement issued by the Democratic Governors Association that condemned actions taken by President Donald Trump to restore law and order to the streets of Los Angeles, California. Demonstrations there, in protest of legal law enforcement operations, quickly turned violent leading to the assault of several law enforcement officers and the destruction of both public and private property. The President deployed the National Guard in the absence of leadership from local elected officials who viewed the violent protests as 'peaceful.'

In response, Senate Republican Leader Bill Sharer (R-Farmington) has issued the following statement:

SANTA FE – Three special military and veteran drawing opportunities for oryx and pronghorn will open Wednesday, June 11, at 10 a.m.

Oryx hunts for injured military service members on White Sands Missile Range:

Injured military service members can apply online starting June 11 for one of up to 10 special oryx authorizations for hunts on White Sands Missile Range.

SANTA FE – Spring is the time of year when most wildlife babies are born. The New Mexico Department of Game and Fish reminds the public not to approach, touch, attempt to move or otherwise disturb any deer or antelope fawns, elk calves, bear cubs or other wild animals they may find.

Most young-of-the-year wildlife that people discover are simply hiding while awaiting their parents' return from foraging nearby.

Removing these young animals can cost them their lives, said Orrin Duvuvuei, the Department's deer biologist.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is issuing this Public Service Announcement to warn the public about cyber criminals exploiting Internet of Things (IoT)1 devices connected to home networks to conduct criminal activity using the BADBOX 2.0 botnet2. Cyber criminals gain unauthorized access to home networks through compromised IoT devices, such as TV streaming devices, digital projectors, aftermarket vehicle infotainment systems, digital picture frames and other products. Most of the infected devices were manufactured in China. Cyber criminals gain unauthorized access to home networks by either configuring the product with malicious software prior to the users purchase or infecting the device as it downloads required applications that contain backdoors, usually during the set-up process.3 Once these compromised IoT devices are connected to home networks, the infected devices are susceptible to becoming part of the BADBOX 2.0 botnet and residential proxy services4 known to be used for malicious activity.
