U.S. Attorney Alexander Uballez is interviewed by Executive Producer Jeff Proctor on New Mexico in Focus. The discussion covers a range of topics including the investigation into alleged 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. As Donald Trump prepares for a second term in the White House, this interview may be one of Uballez’s last days on the job.
In another segment, Senior Producer Lou DiVizion speaks with UNM History professor Dr. Jason Scott Smith about the changing perception of America’s middle class and why many believe it is a shrinking economic group.
