By Uriel J. Garcia


In the last federal fiscal year, from Oct. 1, 2014, to Sept. 30, 2015, records show 3,780 immigration convictions in the federal District Court in New Mexico, according to the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, a nonpartisan center based at Syracuse University that tracks federal government enforcement activities. That’s a 3.8 percent increase from the previous fiscal year. The highest total in the past two decades came in the fiscal year that ended in September 2009, when more than 7,000 convictions were obtained in immigration cases in New Mexico.
