Outgoing U.S. Attorney for NM Looks Back

This week on New Mexico in Focus, Executive Producer Jeff Proctor interviews U.S. Attorney Alexander Uballez during what will likely be his last days on the job as Donald Trump prepares for a second term in the White House. In their wide-ranging discussion, Jeff asks Uballez about the investigation into alleged corruption within the Albuquerque Police Department’s DWI Unit, the root causes of crime, the concept of justice and his larger vision for the office as Uballez prepares to step aside.  

Then, Senior Producer Lou DiVizio speaks with University of New Mexico History Professor Dr. Jason Scott Smith about the changing perception of America’s middle class and why so many believe it’s a shrinking economic group.
