 Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, October 30, 2025.

We wake up today to big legal developments rocking our legal and law enforcement community. The Texas Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security have wrapped up a year-long investigation, arresting nine people, including a local attorney, for involvement in a human trafficking ring right here in El Paso County. Authorities say an international operation ran victims from Cuba into the city, forcing them into prostitution to pay debts. The attorney, Mario Ortiz Saroldi, is now booked in the El Paso County Jail charged with solicitation of prostitution. Two others, Yasiel Rodriguez-Amaro and Katherine Ventura-Amaro, also face charges involving aggravated promotion and possession of a controlled substance. The law enforcement community stresses the importance of ongoing vigilance and community reporting to help stop human trafficking.

In other courtroom news, the city and our police department scored a win as a judge dismissed a lawsuit brought by two former supervisors who alleged wrongful termination after sexual harassment allegations. The judge found their claims weren’t supported by evidence, with city attorney Karla Nieman saying this reaffirms the city’s commitment to fair process and accountability. The terminated officers, John Surface and Adan Chavez, were previously arrested on charges of official oppression. Chief Peter Pacillas emphasized the ruling as a reminder that misconduct won’t be tolerated within the department.

Turning to City Hall, El Paso leadership rolled out its updated five-year Capital Improvement Plan, laying out one hundred eighty million dollars in infrastructure projects through 2030. On the northeast side, we’re seeing the extension of Sean Haggerty Drive from Nathan Bay to Dyer, adding a new four-lane bridge and bike lanes, with work set to wrap by spring 2027. Over on North Yarbrough Drive, a five point six million dollar safety overhaul is in planning—the city’s aiming to make what’s currently one of our most crash-prone roads safer for everyone.

Weatherwise, we’re starting today with clear skies and mild temperatures. We expect highs to reach the low 80s, with a light breeze out of the west. This is perfect weather if you’re heading out to community events or spending time outdoors, and the forecast holds steady through the weekend.

In business news, Aurora Innovation has officially launched its commercial autonomous trucking route connecting Fort Worth to El Paso. This is only their second route nationwide, and company leaders say El Paso’s tough logistics made it the ideal next step. The technology is touted to make long hauls more efficient, and they plan to deploy hundreds of these trucks in the coming year.

Housing remains brisk, with most agents reporting that homes across El Paso are being snapped up after just a couple of weekends on the market. If you’re job hunting, local logistics and transportation companies report strong hiring, particularly in support roles as autonomous tech grows. The city’s unemployment rate remains just under four percent, steady compared to last month.

For sports, our high school volleyball fans can cheer on Riverside and the Young Women’s STEAM Research and Preparatory Academy as they face off in a neutral playoff match today. This is a big moment for both teams and a showcase for El Paso’s rising young athletes.

Looking ahead, city events this weekend include fall festivities at San Jacinto Plaza and several community trick-or-treat events at local schools. Don’t forget El Paso Chihuahuas fans, preseason tickets go on sale this Friday.

And here’s a feel-good story for your morning: our local food bank partnered with Coronado High School volunteers this week to distribute over two thousand meals to families in Sunland Park. The energy of these young helpers reminds us how strong our community spirit is.
