Two injured after shooting at Lobo Village UNMPD seeking information
By Lauren Lifke
@lauren_lifke
On Friday, Jan. 31, a man shot two residents at Lobo Village and fled the scene with four other people.
The victims were taken to the hospital with non-fatal injuries, according to University of New Mexico Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Cinnamon Blair. There is no new information about the suspects, and witnesses are still be-
ing interviewed as of Sunday, Feb. 2, she said.
“If anybody has video, was there or has any information that they can share, they should contact UNMPD,” Blair said.
A LoboAlert first notified the campus community of an aggravated battery at 11:59 p.m. the night of the incident. Three follow-up alerts were sent, including one that described the suspect and four other men he fled with, all of whom are men in their late teens or early 20s.
The day after the shooting, an email from Lobo Village notified its residents that a no-guest policy would be implemented immediate-

ly. The shooting was at a “gathering onsite,” according to the email.
“Your safety is our top priority, and we are committed to maintaining a secure environment for everyone in our community,” the email reads.
Blair was unable to verify where the shooting occurred, but the suspects were last seen fleeing from Building #5 on the northeast corner of the Lobo Village complex, according to the alert.

Stokes announces UNM rapid response teams after Trump administration actions
By Lily Alexander @llilyalexander
One week into President Donald Trump’s administration, University of New Mexico President Garnett Stokes announced the creation of four rapid response teams to address federal changes that could impact UNM. The teams will focus on inclusive excellence, immigration policy implications, research funding impacts and patient care considerations, according to a Jan. 27 campus-wide email.
The teams will be composed of the best experts on each topic, guided by Stokes and the University’s three executive vice presidents, according to UNM Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Cinnamon Blair.
The UNM Office of Government & Community Relations is helping
gather information for UNM at the federal level, Blair said.
The inclusive excellence team will research how Trump’s orders on diversity, equity and inclusion could affect UNM, according to Blair. On Jan. 20, Trump signed an executive order aimed at ending federal agencies’ DEI programs, according to The Associated Press.
On Wednesday, Jan. 29, Trump’s budget office rescinded a memo freezing federal loan and grant spending, according to the AP. The previous day, the UNM Office of the Vice President for Research announced in a statement that UNM would continue to distribute federal financial aid to students and that researchers should not stop working on federally funded projects.
“I think what we’re really wanting to do is give out good information, because we do know that people are concerned and worried, but we don’t
want to put out information that’s inaccurate,” Blair said.
In the Jan. 27 email, Stokes stated that circulating claims of federal agents on the UNM campus and at UNM Hospital were unfounded.
“We promise to communicate openly about any confirmed developments affecting our campus,” the email reads.
The University will launch a web-
site for the rapid response teams soon, according to Blair. The website will feature an FAQ section and a place for campus community members to submit their own questions, she said.

Men’s basketball: Lobos silence Aggies
By Jaden McKelvey-Francis @dailylobo
On Saturday, Feb. 1, the Lobos took the top spot in the Mountain West standings. The game was fueled by a dominant second half against the Utah State Aggies in Logan, Utah, winning 82-63.
While neither team shot especially well in the first half, the Lobos were able to find the bottom of the basket with efficiency in the second half while the Aggies’ percentages steadily declined.
Despite struggling to make 3-pointers in the first half, making only 1-9, their outside shooting was what won the Lobos the game. They finished 7-22 and 6-13 in the second half from behind the arc.
The Aggies only made five 3-pointers on 31 attempts for a low of 7.7%.
While the Lobos saw impressive performances from Donovan Dent and Nelly Junior Joseph, their scoring came from several different sources.
Five Lobos finished with double figures: Dent, Junior Joseph, Mustapha Amzil, Tru Washington and CJ Noland.
Amzil led the team in scoring 16 points and made two 3-pointers, despite battling an injury and being referred to as a “game-time decision” by Head Coach Richard Pitino before the game.
The Lobos finished the game without a single fast-break point.
The Utah State zone defense was quick in transition while trying to create fast-break opportunities by jumping out in passing lanes.
The unique zone defense rattled the Lobos at the start, causing 15 total turnovers from the Lobos. But the Lobos were able to settle in and quickly started to pick it apart. When
the 3-pointers were not falling, they could get inside either through a drive or getting the ball into a post-up opportunity for Junior Joseph.
In the second half, the drives turned into kicks out for easy shots.
“I feel like knocking down those open threes is going to be a big thing for me, and then just bringing the energy on the defensive end,” Lobo forward Jovan Milicevic said before the game.
The Aggies’ zone also led to rebounding opportunities for the Lobos. The Lobos finished with 48 rebounds and 16 second-chance points. Junior Joseph grabbed 13 of those boards, which gave him yet another double-double on the season.
While there were many chances for both teams at the free-throw line with 43 personal fouls being called, both teams were unable to take advantage of the free points. The Lobos

shot an adequate 70.4%, while the Aggies shot only 43.5%.
The Lobos return home to face the Colorado State Rams and hope to continue their reign at the top of the Mountain West on Wednesday, Feb. 5.

UNM community responds to the ceasefire in Gaza
By Leila Chapa & Paloma Chapa @lchapa06
On Jan. 19, a three-stage ceasefire deal was negotiated between Israel and Hamas after 15 months of war in Gaza. Some students, faculty members and staff members say the pressure on the University of New Mexico to divest from Israel will not slow down.
The first stage of the deal will allow greater humanitarian aid to enter the Gaza strip, Hamas’ release of 33 hostages in exchange for the release of hundreds of imprisoned Palestinians, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas and displaced Palestinians to return to their homes, according to The Associated Press.
Fatima Awad, a graduate student, said the ceasefire evoked a mix of cautious hope and skepticism.
“While the relentless bombing in Gaza has stopped, we must understand that many families are returning to homes that are now nothing but rubble,” Awad wrote to the Daily Lobo. “Our people deserve more than just a tem-
porary pause in violence; they deserve a chance to return to homes and start rebuilding, to grieve for their loved ones, and to count their dead and to search for bodies still buried in the debris.”
Around 90% of homes and 80% of commercial buildings have been destroyed or damaged in Gaza, according to Al Jazeera.
Andre Montoya-Barthelemy is a faculty member with the UNM School of Medicine and a member of UNM Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine. He said the ceasefire is not going to slow down UNM FSJP’s organizing efforts.
“The university is the students. It is the faculty and the community members, the alumni, the staff, the people who carry our reputation out into the world,” Montoya-Barthelemy said. “We’ve already demonstrated that an enormous proportion of the university demonstrates compassion for the Palestinian people.”
Graduate student Mark Campbell is a member of UNM Students for Justice in Palestine. He said that although the ceasefire provides a “breath of relief,” the “fight for divestment is going to continue.”
“We’re at a moment where stu-
dents are demanding more from their universities,” Campbell said. According to the AP, Israel launched a military operation in the West Bank Jan. 22 as suspected settlers attacked two Palestinian towns. This came just before Trump canceled sanctions that had been placed on Israeli settlers who were accused of violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, according to Reuters.
In a recent audio recording, Trump described Gaza as a “demolition site” and said he wants Egypt and Jordan to accept an increased number of displaced Palestinians to “clean out” Gaza.
ASUNM spring semester opens with quiet full senate meeting
The Associated Students at the University of New Mexico held its first full senate meeting of the spring semester Wednesday, Jan. 29 — though it was hardly full, as many members were absent due to the date coinciding with UNM Day at the New Mexico capitol. The senate’s repeated close calls in pursuit of the required quorum — ⅔ of sitting senate members present — have been discussed previously by ASUNM
Vice President Mutazz Jaber. ASUNM’s newest President Pro Tempore, Bailey Rutherford, led the meeting in Jaber’s stead in their official capacity, having been elected at last semester’s final meeting when Sen. Hope Montoya’s term ended.
The meeting’s guest speakers were Assistant Vice President of Campus Business Services Alicia Solano and UNM Bookstores Director Lisa Walden. Their presentation focused on the upcoming Equitable Access textbook program, including its development at UNM, pricing options
and planned launch in the upcoming fall semester.
A virtual town hall on the topic was held the following afternoon.
The first appropriation and the first bill of the semester passed. The appropriation requested funding from the UNM student chapter of the American Choral Directors Association to attend a national convention. The bill clarifies the term length for a president pro tempore.

Roadrunner Foodbank ‘Souper Bowl’ warms hearts and stomachs
By Nate Bernard @natebernard14
Ladles clashed, steam rose and flavors battled for supremacy at this year’s Souper Bowl, a competition and fundraiser hosted by the Roadrunner Food Bank on Saturday, Feb. 1. With rich broths, bold spices and secret recipes on the line, the competition was fierce — but only one soup reigned supreme.
The Old Town Catering Company, a local Albuquerque favorite, dominated the Bowl, winning first place for People’s Choice Soup, first place for Critics’ Choice Soup and third place for People’s Choice Vegetarian Soup. The team’s chef and owner, Mike Tafoya, credited the victory to serving soups that are distinctly New Mexican.
“We brought two soups. The first one
was roasted corn and apple bisque. And we top that with a little bit of sourdough bread crumbs and some fresh apple,” Tafoya said. “We also entered the green chile chicken, a cheesy green chile chicken tortilla soup.”
The Old Town Catering Company’s roasted corn and apple bisque soup won first place for People’s Choice and third for People’s Choice Vegetarian Soup. The company’s green chile chicken tortilla soup won first place for Critics’ Choice.
Tafoya stepped foot in the court as a Souper Bowl veteran, having won Best Vegetarian Soup and Best Booth last year, he said.
“I’ve done it the last four years,” Tafoya said. “When my kids were born, I kind of took a little break, and then I

City Council passes housing reform ordinances
By Jaden McKelvey-Francis @dailylobo
On Jan. 6, the Albuquerque City Council approved two ordinances targeted at improving housing availability through home development and reducing the amount of vacant property Downtown.
The first bill, O-24-69, amended the existing Integrated Development Ordinance to allow for the development of multifamily homes in areas that are within a quarter-mile of Main Street and Premium Transit Station (ART) areas. The bill was sponsored by Council President Dan Lewis and Councilor Joaquín Baca, and passed by a vote of 7-2.
The bill also made changes to the
appeal process against city projects.
To file an appeal opposing a city project, a majority of property owners or tenants who live within 660 feet of the project site must now sign a petition in support of the appeal.
“A lot of projects get appealed and held up,” Baca said. “Sometimes that’s a good thing, sometimes not as much.”
Reducing unnecessary appeals was one of the key goals of the bill, according to a statement from the City of Albuquerque.
Both Baca and Lewis referenced plans for a rehab hospital that were shut down because of an appeal by a local neighborhood association.
“It gives neighborhood associations a more credible, legitimate
opportunity to be able to speak with one voice that truly represents the neighbors that are affected,” Lewis told the Daily Lobo.
Despite making the appeal process more difficult, the legislation will still allow neighborhood voices to be heard, Lewis said.
The City aims to build more housing to address the shortage, reduce homelessness, prioritize job creation and deliver essential medical and public services efficiently, according to an Albuquerque City Council statement.
The second bill, O-24-61, titled the “Downtown Vacant Premises Ordi-
EPA launches investigation into City of Albuquerque and City Council due to civil rights concerns
By Maria Fernandez @dailylobo
On Jan. 17, the Environmental Protection Agency announced an investigation into the City of Albuquerque and the Albuquerque City Council over allegedly discriminating against a South Valley neighborhood by taking action to prevent the adoption of a rule to reduce pollution in the area.
The investigation stems from two complaints filed by the Mountain View Coalition and the New Mexico Environmental Law Center.
The EPA will investigate complaints alleging that actions taken by
the Albuquerque City Council and the Albuquerque Environmental Health Department “discriminated against persons in Albuquerque on the basis of race, color, and national origin, in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,” the EPA’s complaint acceptance letter reads.
The South Valley, where the Mountain View neighborhood is located, had an 81% Hispanic or Latino population as of July 2024, according to U.S. Census data.
The complaint alleges that the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Air Quality Control Board took action to prevent the adoption of the Health, Environment and Equity Impacts rule, which was ultimately modified
and adopted in December 2023.
The HEEI rule requires that pollution-emitting facilities within a mile of overburdened areas use a Best Available Control Technology procedure to mitigate pollution impacts.
The adopted rule is less comprehensive than the version that had been proposed by the Mountain View Coalition and the New Mexico Environmental Law Center, which would have prohibited implementing new pollution-emitting facilities in overburdened areas.

Guild Cinema February preview
By Elijah Ritch @dailylobo
The following are a few of the films of note that will be shown at Albuquerque’s Guild Cinema in February.
From Feb. 4-6 at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., the Guild will screen “From Ground Zero: Stories from Gaza.” The film gathers work from 22 different Palestinian filmmakers, documenting their experiences living through the 2023 Israel-Hamas war. “From Ground Zero” was Palestine’s submission for the 2025 Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, making the category’s shortlist in December 2024, but failing to receive an Oscar nod when nominations were announced in January.
The individual short films cover a wide range of styles and genres, including animation, documentary and fiction.
French-Senegalese filmmaker
Mati Diop’s new documentary “Dahomey” depicts the process of reclaiming artifacts that originated
the Golden Bear at the Berlin International Film
Festival in February 2024, which is the festival’s top prize. “Dahomey” is an unconventional documentary: Diop personifies the statues, masks
and other artifacts at the heart of the story, allowing them to speak through voiceover, forcing viewers to reflect on the impact colonialism has had on countless cultures across the world.
The Guild will present “Dahomey” as part of their Black History Month programming from Feb. 7-10 at 6 p.m.
As a part of the Guild’s recurring Arthouse Classics series, it will present two 1990s films starring indie favorite Lili Taylor. The films were part of the decade’s wave of low-budget films capturing the lives of women in honest and refreshing ways.
Both have been rescued from obscurity and newly restored. Feb. 8-9 at 1 p.m., Jim McKay’s 1996 film “Girls Town” can be seen. A coming-of-age narrative centering on a group of teenage girls that are faced with the daunting task of becoming adults, the film has been lauded for its raw look at urban girlhood at the dawn of a new millennium.

On Thursday, Jan. 30, the University of New Mexico Alumni hosted 2025’s first Lobo Living Room — a series of events that will showcase distinguished UNM alums engaging
in discussions, demonstrations and performances related to their fields of expertise. The first event, called “Swiftie-nomics: The art, industry, and influence of Taylor Swift,” was held in George Pearl Hall.
Honors College professor Maria Szasz walked the audience through Taylor Swift’s journey through music
and life. The lecture covered Swift’s legacy as a 14-time Grammy winner, the artistry behind her re-recorded albums and the economic phenomenon of the Eras Tour.
Alongside Szasz were two of her students, Ariana GoGo Salguero and Bethany Padilla. The students discussed what it was like taking the
of
Honors College course “Taylor Swift: Honors Version.”
“I think Taylor is an incredible role model, especially for girls and women that don’t feel justified in their experiences,” Szasz said. “They may not be validated, but she validated them.”

In December 2024, Max released a new DC animated series, “Creature Commandos,” directed by James Gunn. The series is a sequel to Gunn’s 2022 series “Peacemaker” and his 2021 film “The Suicide Squad.”
The Suicide Squad, in all its iterations, is a group of high-powered yet apprehended supervillains who assemble to take on high-stakes, covert missions in exchange for time off of their prison sentences. The team is led by Amanda Waller, who implants bombs in the brains of the
team members that will detonate if they disobey.
In “Creature Commandos,” Waller is no longer allowed to put bombs in human brains or force them to go on dangerous missions. However, nothing prevents her from using nonhuman entities.
Enter Task Force M — “M” for “Monster” — aka the Creature Commandos, a task force made up of those who are powerful yet inhuman. The line-up includes The Bride, Weasel, Doctor Phosphorus, G.I. Robot and Nina Mazursky.
The Bride –- as in the Bride of Frankenstein — is a sardonic, cynical yet secretly soft-hearted, 7-foot-tall woman made of discarded corpses. She constantly battles off Eric Frankenstein, who perceives them as “destined to be together,” despite The Bride’s hatred for him. Weasel is just what he says he is: a four legged canine-like rodent, or rodent-like ca-
This event gave not only Swifties an opportunity to connect and share the experiences they have had because of Swift, but also gave an opportunity for non-Swifties to learn more about Swift’s impact.

nine, who is practically unkillable.
Doctor Phosphorus was a scientist researching cancer cures and radiation when he became involved with the mob, failed to meet his end of the deal and was turned into a skeleton man with glowing green skin made of pure radiation. G.I. Robot is a discontinued military robot from World War II, whose sole purpose and joy is killing Nazis. Nina Mazursky was a kind human girl, but her father spliced her DNA with that of a fish to save her life from a rare birth defect where her lungs were outside of her body.
The characters are a delight on their own, but Gunn’s story really allows them to shine. The Creature Commandos’ mission is to protect Ilana Rostovic, the soon-to-becrowned ruler of Pokolistan, who agreed with the United States and struck an oil trade agreement.
Attempting to usurp the princess
is an Amazonian witch named Circe with an army of incels. However, as time wears on, the less clear it becomes who can be trusted as a web of political intrigue and deadly human foley ensnares the main cast. In an era where many action films feel less like art and more like military propaganda, “Creature Commandos” makes some bold thematic statements: the government is never your friend, Nazis are never your friend, entitled men are never your friend and neither are the women who cater to them. The only people you can really rely on are other freaks like you. How true, James. How very true. “Creature Commandos” is also a deeply and delightfully nostalgic take on comic books and superhero media. It harkens back to a time when animation was 2D, character

nance,” seeks to reduce the amount of vacant and empty buildings in Albuquerque by requiring registration and fees for vacant buildings. Sponsored by Baca, the bill was passed by a vote of 8-1.
Vacant premises tend to create further vacancies, abandonment and dilapidation in the area, according to the bill.
“All the empty buildings on Central Downtown, they’ve been empty for decades — like 40 years,” Baca said. “They’re now going to be getting charged an assessment fee or registration fee if they don’t do anything.”

The downtown area has a vacancy rate of 12.8% for retail, 23% for office and over 30% of the land being used as parking, according to the bill.
“It gives the right balance of incentivizing and encouraging them to revitalize those areas and those buildings,” Lewis, who voted in favor of the bill, said.
In 2024, Albuquerque Healthcare for the Homeless reported that the size of the unhoused population in Albuquerque had more than doubled since 2022.
“Housing, that is one of the biggest issues we have going on — not just in our city, but every city,” Baca said.
“And when I say housing I mean all forms, transitional housing, permanent, supportive housing, affordable housing, market-rate housing.”

The Guild gets to the meat of the matter with ‘The Jungle’
By Addison Fulton @dailylobo
On Jan. 23, Albuquerque’s Guild Cinema hosted a showing of Matt Wechsler’s new documentary, “The Jungle,” which dives into the problems within the modern meat industry and its history. The title comes from Upton Sinclair’s 1906 novel, which first exposed corruption and contamination in the meat industry.
The free screening was put on by the New Mexico chapter of Food & Water Watch, an organization that pushes for policies to help curb climate change.
“The Jungle” details meat production’s transition from small factory farms to large fields built on colonized land.
It also depicts the near-monopolies built first by Iowa Beef Packers in red meat and Tyson in chicken. Tyson would eventually acquire IBP,
creating an almost total stranglehold on the industry, according to the documentary.
Factory farming, the documentary explains, worsens climate change. According to the film, one-fifth of carbon emissions are a result of factory farming. Worker abuse is also rampant within the industry, according to the documentary; workers are primarily immigrants who receive little pay and sustain lifelong injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.
The film also details potential solutions: trust-busting meat companies, increasing worker protections and creating farming practices that work with the environment instead of against it.
As Reginaldo HaslettMarroquin — author and Indigenous farmer pioneering farming chickens alongside hazelnut trees to simulate a chicken’s natural habitat — says in the documentary, “When you fight nature, you’re never going to win.”
After the showing, Food & Water Watch hosted a panel of various sustainability and farming experts and advocates from around the state.
Featured were Helga GarciaGarza, the executive director of Agri-Cultura Network and La Cosecha CSA, as well as Jorge Garcia, the executive director of the Center for Social Sustainable Systems.
Garcia-Garza described her upbringing and experience with farming with the earth, telling the story of growing up around wild crops as much as agriculture.
“For many years, almost 13 years, I learned and practiced permaculture. Brownsville, Texas during the summer — you cannot grow there. It is just too hot. So we had a lot of bananas, papayas, citrus and wild tobacco,” GarciaGarza said. “We had many, many different types of herbs, plants, fruit trees, that grew naturally in that tropical environment, and I feel very

blessed that I lived that, that I really saw what it means to work with nature and not against nature.”
Garcia added a critique of the government and the wealthy, who he said seem content to widen the gap between humans and nature.
“We’re gonna keep fighting nature and losing. Why? Because we are fighting ourselves. We are nature. We are children of nature, and we understand that,” Garcia said. “But reflect on the government that we have, on the way of thinking that there is. We want to go colonize Mars, for God’s sake, and we don’t even have water to drink, and yet we want to go and colonize Mars. And we’re all happy with that?”

The neighborhood is also home to two Superfund sites, seven petroleum tank farms and miles of auto salvage yards, according to
Mountain View Neighborhood Association President Genevieve Chavez Mitchell. Two recycling plant fires have occurred in the area, Chavez Mitchell wrote.
“We have worked diligently for many years to counter the ongoing onslaught of industrial development,” Painter wrote. “We continue to be overburdened with industrial pollution.”

Guild preview from page 4
Renowned indie filmmaker Nancy Savoca’s 1993 film “Household Saints” depicts three generations of an eccentric Italian-American family in New York City. There is particular focus on Taylor’s character Teresa, a devout Catholic teenage girl. Savoca’s film will be shown Feb. 22-23 at 12:30 p.m.
“Hard Truths,” the latest from English director Mike Leigh — an Oscar-nominated chronicler of the lives of working-class Brits — will run at the Guild from Feb. 21-24 at 4:30 p.m. Leigh regular Marianne JeanBaptiste plays Pansy, an anxious and angry middle-aged woman who struggles to get along with her family and seeks a new outlook on life from
her laid-back sister Chantelle, played by Michele Austin.
Jean-Baptiste’s gutsy, vulnerable performance has received immense critical acclaim, including Best Actress awards from the New York Film Critics Circle, Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics. Leigh’s bleakly humorous rendering of a 21st-century Black British family is sure to be a rough yet ultimately heartwarming cinematic experience.

The soundtrack is also incredible. Gunn has had a talent for song choice since “The Suicide Squad,” but the soundtrack for that film and for “Peacemaker” were very heavy on American glam rock. They fit their respective films excellently, but I assumed that was just Gunn’s taste. However, seeing “Creature Commandos” highlighted Gunn’s skill for music choice. Much of the soundtrack was done by Go -

The film is a biopic about Eunice Paiva, a Brazilian lawyer who became an outspoken activist against Brazil’s military dictatorship, which lasted from 1964 to 1985, after the forced disappearance of her husband Rubens, a politician, in 1971.
Torres has been garnering unanimous acclaim for her performance since the film premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in September 2024. She won the Golden Globe for “Best Actress in a Motion Picture — Drama” in January and has now

The complaint also requested that the City be required to hold a listening session for public comments on the matter and, if warranted, take all actions necessary to review the City of Albuquerque and the City Council’s actions and bring both into compliance with Title VI and EPA regulations.

“No Other Land” is a documentary made by a group of Israeli and Palestinian activists: Basel Adra, Hamdan Ballal, Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor. It depicts the destruction of the West Bank region of Masafer Yatta and the forced displacement of the area’s residents. The documentary was filmed from 2019-23, according to the New Zealand International Film Festival.
The filmmakers also incorporated clips from Adra’s family’s

“Creature Commandos” is an excellent show with a sharp wit, a strong artistic vision and a lot of heart. It may be Gunn’s best project to date, and that says a lot coming from me. I highly recommend it, as well as all of Gunn’s previous works.
