ESTANCIA — At a Torrance County Commission meeting Wednesday, Vice Chair Kevin McCall shot down rumors — first made by a teacher's union before gaining steam over social media — that his business, McCall's Pumpkin Patch, was tied to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

"Our business is in no way communicating or working with ICE,” McCall said to a room filled with 20 residents of the county and numerous others over teleconference. "I want to be very clear. My decisions behind this table are for the betterment of this county, and it has no effect on my decisions with my personal business."
