 Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, January 1st. We kick off the new year with some heavy news from Far East El Paso, where an immigration raid off Bob Hope Drive has left our neighbors shaken. KFOX14 reports unmarked ICE vehicles and a helicopter swooped in on New Years Eve, detaining workers building homes. Residents like Christian Garcia shared footage of the chaos, calling it an injustice to hardworking folks who build our schools and houses. We feel the tension in our community, and ICE has not commented yet.

Shifting to brighter business news, small businesses across El Paso celebrate House Bill 9 taking effect today. KFOX14 says it exempts up to 125,000 dollars of inventory from city, county, and school taxes, freeing up cash for wages and hiring. Owners like Sarah Miller at Margin Notes Book Bar see it as a game changer, though city hall is analyzing revenue impacts and prioritizing efficiencies to keep services strong without hiking homeowner rates.

Our job market gets a boost too, with national minimum wage hikes in 19 states inspiring local optimism, while Trump delays tariffs on furniture and cabinets until 2027, per CNN, easing pressures on our retailers.

Weather today stays mild and sunny, highs around 58 degrees with light winds, perfect for shaking off holiday haze without much disruption. Expect clear skies through tomorrow, ideal for outdoor plans.

New business activity hums with the inventory break sparking growth, no major closings reported locally.

For fun ahead, join the First Day Hike at 8:30 a.m. in Franklin Mountains State Park at Chuck Heinrich Memorial Park, a 4 to 5 mile trek with cookies and lights. Lights on the Lake opens this weekend, and free Mission Trail tours roll out first Saturdays. Zumba Blast hits Eastside Senior Center Mondays and Wednesdays.

Local schools shine with Winter Zoo Camp starting for kids 6 to 14, blending animals and conservation.

On the feel-good side, were loving Terrys Heart Foundation gearing up for bigger community events after their New Years Eve gala.

Crime in the past 24 hours stays low key, no major incidents or alerts from El Paso police, keeping our streets safe as we welcome 2026.
