LAS CRUCES, N.M.—Sheriffs from Colorado are among the attendees at a sheriffs’ summit focusing on border security.
The Deming Headlight reports () that the Colorado sheriffs joined Tuesday their New Mexico counterparts from Grant, Hidalgo, Otero and Dona Ana counties for a two-day conference in Las Cruces.
