We wake up today as our community is gathering at the Sun Bowl, where close to two thousand people are honoring the sacrifices of 9-11’s first responders at the annual stair climb. Participants, from Army ROTC cadets to Fort Bliss soldiers and our own El Paso fire and police, are climbing the same number of steps as those heroic firefighters in New York. If you’re heading to Sun Bowl Drive this morning, expect some extra activity and limited parking near the stadium.
Now to our breaking story in the Upper Valley, where a family says Border Patrol agents shot and killed their dog during a search tied to a migrant smuggling investigation. The family is distraught and claims the agents entered their home after being warned about an aggressive dog, then released and shot their pet while the son left to get his ID. Customs and Border Protection confirms a use of force incident is under serious review, and the family says they’re considering legal action as questions about Border Patrol procedures and communication surge in our neighborhoods.
Weatherwise, sunshine is sticking around through the afternoon, with light breezes and a high near 92 degrees. It’s a good day for outdoor plans, but let’s keep water handy and limit afternoon activity as UV levels are still high. A slight dip into the high eighties is expected tomorrow, so we’ll see a mild stretch ahead.
In city hall, the debate over I-10’s expansion continues as residents voice worries about adding new lanes and the possible impact on homes and small businesses along the corridor. Five expansion options are on the table, including doing nothing, and officials from the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority are asking for more public feedback before a decision that could reshape traffic on one of our busiest highways.
The city is also in the spotlight for refusing to release records about police misconduct lawsuits, despite a Texas Attorney General ruling requiring the documents to be public. Local watchdogs say transparency is overdue, and Monday’s council meeting could see heated moments as the public demands answers on how millions in taxpayer money have been spent.
In the job market, El Paso lost out on a major piece of the state’s Solar for All grant, which aimed to create green jobs and bring solar panels to low-income homes. Though some solar contractors here are scrambling to save local training programs, the loss is a major setback for families and potential workers who had hoped for jobs and lower bills in the coming months.
Turning to crime, sheriff’s deputies arrested a man who’d been on the run for seven years, owing over fifty-nine thousand dollars in child support. His capture closes a long and painful chapter for his family and highlights ongoing efforts to enforce longstanding court orders in our community.
A quick note from the courts: a family judge has recused herself from the high-profile Max Grossman custody case, transferring proceedings to another court. Legal watchers say this move should ensure impartiality as the closely followed case moves ahead.
On the sports and schools beat, excitement builds as high schools celebrate a string of early fall victories, and local student-athletes are already drawing college recruiting interest.
As a feel-good closer this morning, a group of Montwood High students organized a food drive last night at Edgemere Park, gathering hundreds of pounds of food for families in need. Their spirit reminds us how acts of kindness ripple across our city.
