New traffic Lights at Gold, U.S.180 and Railroad in Deming

DEMING – Deming is getting a new traffic light.
     The new signal at the intersection of Gold, U.S. 180 and Railroad Boulevard is part of a multi-phase plan along the entire I-10 corridor from exit 81 to 85 in Deming.
     There was a study done that identified the intersection as the most problematic. A traffic study was commissioned, and the final numbers met the DOT’s criteria for a traffic signal. Not only is it one of the business intersections in the city; it has the highest accident rate.
     The project is funded by a grant from Capital Outlay of $575,000 along with partial funding by the City of Deming. Deming’s engineering consultant provided design and construction administration and DOT provided oversight and approval of the design, construction and reimbursement.
   The project includes warning flashers for southbound traffic since the line of sight is slightly impacted by the underpass of the railroad tracks.
     Motorists can expect to see the new signals flashing yellow in the next few days then the signals will be energized for green-yellow-red display.
     Deming City Police will increase patrols in the area during the startup period.
     Deming officials are excited for the change, saying it has always been a high accident location, and the signal will minimize the chance of major accidents.

U.S. Border Patrol rescues man utilizing recently deployed rescue beacon in NM

LORDSBURG – U.S. Border Patrol Agents from the Lordsburg Border Patrol Station located a migrant in distress using a recently deployed rescue beacon south of Hachita, New Mexico. On Monday, a 51-year-old Mexican national activated the rescue beacon just after 10:30 p.m. Agents were able to respond to the activation, locate the distressed individual and rescue him.
The man was later expelled under Title 42 via the Columbus Port of Entry for entering the United States illegally. The El Paso Sector has led the way in leveraging technology to rescue and provide aid to migrants stranded in the harsh, high-desert terrain. Rescue beacons are only one part of the overall rescue efforts in the El Paso Sector. The El Paso Sector routinely collaborates with non governmental organizations, including agencies at the local, county, state and federal level in addition to continued coordination with our foreign partners in the Government of Mexico to rescue migrants in distress.
The U.S. Border Patrol in the El Paso Sector has been actively working this year to deploy 15 new rescue beacons in high-traffic strategic areas where migrants may be in distress due to exposure to the elements in the desert and mountains.
In the last 24 hours, there have been five rescues within the El Paso Sector by various means. Due to the recently deployed rescue beacon near Hatchita, one more migrant was rescued. “The El Paso Sector Border Patrol utilized a recently deployed rescue beacon in Lordsburg, New Mexico to successfully rescue a distressed individual late Monday evening,” said El Paso Sector Chief Patrol Agent Gloria I. Chavez. “We continue to invest in innovative technology that assists Border Patrol Agents in preventing the loss of human life."
