CNN
Wildfires in New Mexico drove new evacuations Monday and much of the state was expected to be under a critical fire threat Tuesday.
The Calf Canyon fire started on April 19 and joined with the Hermits Peak fire, which started April 6.
The combined blaze had burned more than 145,000 acres by early Tuesday and is just 20% contained, according to Inciweb. More than 1,000 fire personnel have been called in to battle the flames, according to Inciweb's incident report.
Looking to shore up Latino votes in Nevada and Arizona for his reelection campaign, President Joe Biden is on the verge of soon following up last week’s executive action aimed at curbing border crossings with another move focused on providing legal status for long-term undocumented immigrants married to American citizens and without criminal records.
