A Vote Early rally on October 17, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the intersection of White Sands Blvd. and 10th Street has been scheduled. You can sign up for this event at https://www.nokings.org. Organizers ask that you register so that they can document attendance and to help them with planning, but registration is not required to attend the event.Local organizers describe this as a celebration of the power of the people to dictate the destiny of our nation and our lives. When the rally winds down at 11:00 the plan is that everyone move, en masse, to the Otero County Fairgrounds to cast their votes, showing that the citizens of Otero County want a change from the trajectory we have been suffering through for the last two years.Local activists, those folks you’ve seen rallying at the corner of White Sands Blvd. and Tenth Street for the last two years, will be out on that day, between 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. They ask that you join them in sending this message to the Trump Administration: our voices will be heard; our votes will be counted. Group organizers say they have extra signs but encourage you to make your voice heard by creating your own message. Please wear sunscreen and bring enough water for yourself. Local organizers emphasize their commitment to non-violent action and expect all participants to avoid and de-escalate any confrontation. For more information: https://www.nokings.org,

just like health care - contracting to operate jails and prisons by entities whose primary purpose is making a profit will inevitably result in ethical problems. and all these jails and prisons that are short-staffed have a simple problem - when any business can't keep employees -
This a perfect example of why we should never have jails and prisons be managed by for-profit entities.
Inmates are sons or daughters, mothers, fathers, family and friends of our community. They and we deserve answers and deserve justice
Private prisons are simply legal slavery. You are literally selling a persons freedom.
evidently this capture occurred inside the courthouse, which would make it apparent it was co-ordinated with the sheriffs department, the entity with jurisdiction. the fact the capture was conducted by unidentified individuals wearing masks to conceal their identities, and traveling in an unmarked vehicle, makes it
The CEO of the courts claims the apprehension occured in the parking lot which is outside their juristiction. We have asked to county for its policy and do they condone these actions on county owned property.
People like Ms Jones make me feel proud to know that there are people here, who still recognize things that are very wrong, and who some will take the time to speak out about these things, to expose these wrongdoings, and to explain how these tactics fly in the face of everything the United States claims to represen
