  • Detention Protests, TB Cases at Bliss, and Candidate Forums in El Paso's Local Pulse

    Detention Protests, TB Cases at Bliss, and Candidate Forums in El Paso's Local Pulse
    2026/02/08
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Sunday, February 8. We start with breaking developments around immigration detention that have our community talking. Yesterday, dozens gathered outside the federal courthouse in downtown El Paso for the National Raza Day of Action protest against ICE policies. Organizers from El Chuco Habla highlighted recent family separations and raids, chanting we did not cross the border, the border crossed us. This comes amid news that the Department of Homeland Security bought an entire industrial block along Eastwind Avenue in Socorro for over 122 million dollars to build a new detention center. Socorro city leaders, not involved in the sale, scheduled a special City Council meeting for February 11 to discuss fees on contractors for police and fire services, urging us all to join public comment.

    Health concerns deepen at Camp East Montana on Fort Bliss, our nations largest facility with 3100 detainees. Congresswoman Veronica Escobar visited Friday and reported two active tuberculosis cases plus 18 COVID-19 infections, underscoring ongoing issues like medical neglect where three deaths occurred in six months, including a homicide ruled by the El Paso Medical Examiner. These stories remind us how federal decisions ripple into our daily lives here on the border.

    On the crime front, we note a serious incident last evening around 6 p.m. at North Loop Drive and E Road in the Lower Valley, where a pedestrian suffered major injuries after a vehicle strike. Special Traffic Investigators are on scene, and we wish the victim a swift recovery while drivers stay cautious.

    Shifting to community spirit, the League of Women Voters hosted a non-partisan candidate forum this week, drawing high schoolers like Claudia Limon who are gearing up to vote soon. They partner with schools to boost turnout for the March primaries, helping us all make informed choices.

    Weather today brings mild sunshine with highs near 62 degrees and light winds, perfect for outdoor plans, though bundle up for cooler evenings ahead. No major impacts expected.

    New business buzz includes that Socorro meeting on detention growth, while jobs stay steady with about 2500 openings listed locally in logistics and healthcare. Real estate sees median home prices around 285000 dollars, up slightly.

    Upcoming, catch the forum if you missed it or join Socorro Council Tuesday. Local schools report strong debate team wins at regionals.

    For a feel-good note, listeners like Abigail Bauman shared how hearing candidates firsthand builds trust in our democracy.

  • Rising Utility Costs, Museum Reopens, and Community Events - El Paso Local Pulse Update

    Rising Utility Costs, Museum Reopens, and Community Events - El Paso Local Pulse Update
    2026/02/07
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, February 7th.

    We're starting the weekend with some significant developments affecting your wallet and your community. If you've been getting notices about your utility bills, you're not alone. The Texas Railroad Commission approved a natural gas rate increase for Texas Gas Service customers here in El Paso just yesterday, and it's going to hit your monthly bills. Small residential customers can expect about a ten percent bump, roughly three to four dollars more per month, while larger households are looking at closer to nineteen percent increases, around eleven dollars more depending on usage. The El Paso City Council had unanimously opposed this back in November, and Mayor Renard Johnson has expressed his disappointment with the commission's decision. City officials are reviewing what options might still be available moving forward, but residents should prepare for these changes to take effect soon.

    This rate hike comes just as families are still adjusting to other recent increases. El Paso Water approved its own rate hike last month that bumped water bills up about twelve percent on average, so we're definitely seeing utility costs climbing across the board right now.

    On a brighter note, the El Paso Museum of Art is reopening its doors next Saturday, February 14th, after completing a three point five million dollar investment. The museum has upgraded its infrastructure and enhanced security and environmental systems. They're featuring new exhibitions including Frida Kahlo photographs, so that's something to look forward to as we head into Valentine's Day weekend.

    The City Council has also been busy with infrastructure improvements. They've approved contracts for street resurfacing projects that will span the next two years across El Paso, addressing road conditions throughout our community. Additionally, the council advanced a new Cool Roof Program designed to reduce energy costs for low-income households, which could help offset some of those rising utility expenses we mentioned.

    On the crime front, Crime Stoppers of El Paso continues asking the public for help locating fugitives wanted by both the Sheriff's Office and Police Department. If you have any information about wanted individuals, you can call the Crime Stoppers hotline at nine one five five six six eight four seven seven, or visit cselpaso dot org. Tips can be anonymous, and you may qualify for a cash reward if your information leads to an arrest.

    For those looking to get active this weekend, Live Active El Paso and The Hospitals of Providence are hosting their annual Love Your Heart Walk and Run at Scenic Drive, a free community event celebrating heart health.

  • Ep. 17: Natural Gas Rate Hike, West Texas Preservation Efforts, and the Dallas City Hall Debate

    Ep. 17: Natural Gas Rate Hike, West Texas Preservation Efforts, and the Dallas City Hall Debate
    2026/02/06
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, February sixth.

    We're starting with news from City Hall that's going to hit your wallet. The Texas Railroad Commission has approved a natural gas rate increase for Texas Gas Service customers here in El Paso. Now, the originally proposed increase was twenty-seven percent, but following negotiations, it's been reduced. Small residential customers are looking at about a ten percent bump, which translates to three to four dollars more per month. Larger households could see increases closer to nineteen percent, or about eleven dollars more monthly depending on usage. The company says the increase is needed to cover service and maintenance costs and keep service reliable. The City Council had previously rejected this proposal back in November, and city officials tell us they're reviewing the decision and considering what options are available moving forward. This comes on the heels of El Paso Water also raising rates, with customers seeing a twelve percent increase that adds up to about ten dollars more per month on average.

    On a brighter note, we've got some exciting preservation work happening right here in West Texas. The two thousand twenty-six West Texas Regional Preservation Summit just wrapped up here in El Paso this past week, bringing together over sixty-five preservation advocates from across the Upper Rio Grande region. The event featured hard hat tours of the historic Kress Building and presentations from accomplished preservation professionals. If you're passionate about protecting our region's historic buildings and heritage, Preservation Texas is actually hiring. They're looking for a bilingual West Texas Program Officer to work out of the West Texas Heritage Center right here in El Paso. The position involves technical assistance, architectural research, community engagement, and relationship building. Applications are being accepted through February twenty-seventh if you're interested.

    Looking ahead, there's a historic window repair workshop coming up in late March at the Preservation Texas Institute in Tehuacana. It's a hands-on opportunity where you can learn fundamentals of historic wood window repair while actually working on original windows from a nineteen-fourteen dormitory building. Enrollment is limited to twelve participants, so if that's something that interests you, head to their website to register.

    We're also keeping an eye on a significant development down in Dallas that could impact preservation efforts statewide. The iconic nineteen seventy-eight I.M. Pei designed Dallas City Hall is facing potential demolition. A coalition of residents, nonprofits, and businesses is pushing back, calling for a pause on a rushed vote scheduled for February twenty-fifth. They're advocating for a vision that includes new development like a new Mavericks arena while preserving the iconic structure.
