• 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.
   

• New Mexico high school volleyball rankings for Sept. 28, 2026 (abqjournal.com subscription) — Santa Teresa High's volleyball team is ranked in the Class 4A top 10, sitting at 8–4 with 37 poll points in the latest coaches' rankings. That puts the Desert Warriors in the statewide conversation alongside programs from Albuquerque, Las Cruces, and across New Mexico as district play heats up and playoff positioning starts to matter.
