 Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, October 31, 2025.

It’s a brisk Halloween morning across El Paso, with clouds hugging the Franklin Mountains and temps hovering in the low 50s at sunrise. We’re expecting a high near 74 this afternoon, dropping into the 60s tonight just in time for trick-or-treating. The forecast calls for light winds, so parents can feel good letting the little ones roam for candy, as long as they bundle up a bit.

Turning to the headlines, we have breaking news this morning as Texas Department of Public Safety and Homeland Security Investigations announce multiple arrests after busting a human trafficking network right here in El Paso. Local attorney Mario Ortiz Saroldi is among nine arrested, accused of soliciting prostitution and playing a role in a ring that allegedly forced Cuban women into sex work across West Texas. Two other El Pasoans face aggravated promotion and drug charges. Authorities say the investigation continues, and urge anyone with tips to contact law enforcement.

There was a scare for several families near Alameda at Zaragoza late last night when fire crews responded to a home eviction gone wrong. Neighbors reported years of neglect at the property and city officials on site pledged to review code enforcement policies to prevent future incidents like this. The incident highlights concerns about affordable housing and safety in older neighborhoods.

On a positive note, our job market remains strong. There are over 2,200 part-time job openings in El Paso right now, with opportunities ranging from tutoring at $18 to $40 an hour, to positions at local markets and restaurants. Warehouse and manufacturing jobs are also plentiful, with hourly wages up to 18 dollars. Remote and flexible roles are growing, making it easier for families to find work that fits their lives. For those looking at real estate, entry-level agents can now earn upwards of 40,000 dollars a year, and the inventory of homes is steady, keeping prices accessible for first-time buyers.

At city hall, the council faced a setback after failing to move forward with a proposed partnership with TSA and the FAA aimed at improving long checkpoint lines at the airport. Leaders promise to revisit the issue soon, as airport traffic continues to surge with fall travel picking up.

New business is perking up again in the Cielo Vista area, as El Pollo Loco has fired up the grill at its new Airway Boulevard spot. Meanwhile, Whole Foods and national chains are posting for dozens of part-time and seasonal hires, adding energy to the retail scene as the holidays approach.

Turning to culture and events, Dia de los Muertos celebrations are lighting up the city. The Mexican American Cultural Center is hosting an expanded altar display and music at Cleveland Square, while local schools prepare colorful ofrendas and parades. Halloween carnivals run today at recreation centers including Armijo and Marty Robbins, offering a safe space for spooky fun later tonight. The El Paso Five Point Lions Club’s Boo Bash ensured all kids could join the festivities this year with inclusive trick-or-treat fun.

Over at the Hospitals of Providence, the NICU tapped into the holiday spirit with a heartwarming newborn costume contest. Expecting staff and families to have photos of little pumpkins and superheroes making the rounds on social media this morning.

On the sports front, El Paso ISD athletes are making waves at the UIL State track meet in Round Rock, while Friday night football scores bring more excitement. We’ll have updates all weekend as hometown favorites chase playoff spots.

Our community is showing its heart, too. At the annual Victims of Crime Walk, more than 100 people gathered on Main Street to honor loved ones and demand better support for victims. The Kelly Center for Hunger Relief is asking for extra volunteers and donations as more families need food this season.

Finally, a quick reminder from the Sheriff’s Office: keep kids visible tonight, stick to sidewalks, and always check your treats. Let’s make this a safe, happy Halloween for everyone in every neighborhood.
