Deming, New Mexico - December 21- More than 90 persons gathered for a standing room only meeting called to learn more about the proposed Mimbres Peaks National Monument.
New Mexico House member Jennifer Jones called the meeting after attending a secret rally organized by Luna County Commissioner, Ray Trejo with help from Senator Hamblen who is the President of the Las Cruces Green Chamber of Commerce. Representative Jones said she learned of the December 6 invitation only gathering through talk circulating in the community.
The proponents are calling on President Biden to make the 245,00-acre monument proclamation under the Antiquities Act of 1906. The areas proposed are the Florida Mountains, Cooks Range, Tres Hermanas, and the Good Sight Mountains.
Rancher Russell Johnson expressed concerns that his operation would be compromised with restrictions imposed by the monument on border enforcement in the Tres Hermanas.
