Jose Martinez-Jimenez, 46, Held in Doña Ana County After Federal Transfer

Allegedly... Jose Martinez-Jimenez, 46, with no address listed on his booking sheet, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on Jan. 14, 2026, according to jail records. The booking shows a single felony count categorized as "All Other Offenses," with the arrest location noted as "FED TRANSFERED," indicating he was handed over from federal custody. Federal transfers into county facilities are common along the southern New Mexico border, where the U.S. Marshals Service contracts with local jails to hold defendants in federal cases. No bond is listed on the county booking sheet. A search of U.S. Attorney's Office announcements for the District of New Mexico and area news outlets did not return public reporting tied to this specific booking at the time of publication, and the underlying federal charge is not described in the county record. The charge is an allegation; Martinez-Jimenez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
