 Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, November 9th, 2025.

We begin this morning with a serious incident along the border. Early Friday, as reported by El Paso CBP Chief Anthony Scott Good, a Border Patrol agent was pursuing a group of migrants near the Rio Grande when a gunshot was fired from the south bank of the river in Mexico. No injuries occurred, but this event underscores both the growing tension and commitment from local agents to maintain safety along our border. The investigation is still ongoing, and extra agents remain on alert in response.

Northbound Joe Battle Boulevard at Edgemere is currently closed after a major collision earlier this morning. Police and emergency crews responded quickly, and one person was hospitalized. Drivers should detour around the area as traffic delays are expected for several more hours while the investigation continues.

From City Hall, last Thursday’s State of the County Address at the County Coliseum focused on growth driven by recent bond investments. Our county population now tops 875 thousand, with leaders emphasizing infrastructure improvements and the economic importance of cross-border trade. El Paso’s economic strategy remains under scrutiny, though, as experts point out missed opportunities to attract corporate relocations compared to smaller Texas cities like Big Spring. Despite our strong position with $96 billion in trade flowing through our region, officials are being urged to rethink incentive programs so businesses bring more new jobs into our community.

In real estate, prices remain steady, with average home prices near the city holding right around the mid $200s. The rental market is tight, and local agents suggest now’s a good time to list if you are considering a move.

For jobs, while city leaders tout living wages, workforce experts suggest more diverse positions could come with better targeting of incentives to industries that export goods and services outside El Paso. Current job listings continue to run steady, mostly in hospitality and healthcare, but we're looking for news on larger employers joining our area.

Community events are adjusting to the ongoing government shutdown. The Run Internacional U.S.-Mexico 10K, originally set for November 15th, has been postponed. Organizers assure the public the race is not canceled and refunds are available through November 23rd. Music brings some solace, as local musician Lawrence Brown, who has been blind since birth, shares how the Kelly Center for Hunger Relief and food banks have helped him through delays in federal SNAP benefits. Brown credits his family and community for the support and inspires us all to stay connected during tough times.

Today’s weather brings mild fall temperatures. Expect sunny skies and a high near 72, with winds picking up slightly midday. No rain is expected, so local parks and outdoor events should go on as planned.

For school sports, UTEP women’s basketball claimed a strong win over Nicholls State and improves to 2-0 this season. The Miner football team, however, fell in a close match against Jacksonville State, 30 to 27.

And in our feel-good story, last night saw a neighborhood cleanup in Five Points that brought together residents from Wyoming Avenue and Montana for hours of teamwork. The block looks brighter and neighbors reported seeing new faces and sharing homemade treats.
