• Second Port Opens, ICE Raids Hurting Meatpacking (cattlebusinessweekly.com) — Santa Teresa's border port just processed about 400 Mexican cattle as part of a phased reopening that could eventually see 1,500 head a day crossing there, boosting local livestock commerce. New Mexico agriculture officials say they're working with USDA to keep trade safe from New World screwworm, while separate ICE enforcement actions in other states raise concerns about meatpacking labor and beef prices.
