Executive Producer Jeff Proctor of New Mexico in Focus interviews U.S. Attorney Alexander Uballez in what may be his last days on the job, as Donald Trump gets ready for a potential second term. The discussion covers corruption within the Albuquerque Police Department’s DWI Unit, the root causes of crime, the concept of justice, and Uballez’s vision for the office.
Additionally, Senior Producer Lou DiVizion talks to UNM History professor Dr. Jason Scott Smith about the changing perception of America’s middle class and why many believe it’s a shrinking economic group.
The show airs on NMPBS 5.1 on January 10th at 7 p.m. and January 12th at 7 a.m., and can be streamed on the PBS video app. The segments include discussions on the politicization of U.S. Attorney posts, the ongoing investigation into DWI corruption in APD, and the role of a temporary custodian in a position meant for the people.
