‘Scared for my life’: border rancher fears migrants crossing her ranch unchecked
A fourth-generation New Mexico rancher, Amanda Adame, shared her fears from unchecked migrants crossing her ranch as cartels haul criminals and drugs across.
DEMING, N.M. – While the Biden administration touts a drop in migrant encounters on the southern border, a fourth-generation New Mexico rancher is second-guessing the choice to make her home on the plot her family established over a hundred years ago.
"We picked the wrong place to raise a family," said Amanda Adame, whose ranch is eight miles from the U.S.-Mexico border. "Living out here, you go armed everywhere you walk [and] you make sure that your kids don't walk off and go play where you can't see them. You never know what's going to happen."
The Biden administration has touted a sharp drop in migrant encounters since the end of Title 42 on May 11, but there were still more than 200,000 encounters in May. Despite the overall drop, criminals have still made their way into the U.S., surpassing previous records with 125 Border Patrol arrests of people on the FBI's terror watchlist as of May 31, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).
