  • El Paso Local Pulse: Border Wait Times, Spring Weather, and Community Spirit

    El Paso Local Pulse: Border Wait Times, Spring Weather, and Community Spirit
    2026/03/07
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, March 7, 2026.

    We wake up today watching our skies and our borders. Local Border Patrol officials tell KFOX14 that agents along the Paso del Norte and Bridge of the Americas ports are seeing heavier wait times this weekend as federal authorities adjust staffing tied to the wider border security debate in Washington. That means we plan a little extra time if we are crossing this morning.

    From City Hall, El Paso City Council is moving forward with plans to resurface a stretch of Montana Avenue near Hawkins, and to add improved lighting around several bus stops on Alameda. City staff say work starts in the coming days, so we watch for lane closures during the weekday rush.

    Our weather shapes our Saturday. The National Weather Service office in Santa Teresa says we have a mild, breezy day, with afternoon highs in the upper 60s on the West Side and near 70 on the East Side. Winds pick up near Transmountain and along I 10 by late afternoon, which could kick up some dust near the state line. Tonight stays cool, with a light jacket needed if we are heading downtown.

    In business news, the El Paso Times reports a new locally owned coffee shop opening next week on Mesa near UTEP, bringing around a dozen new jobs. At the same time, a long running shop in Bassett Place is closing as national retailers shuffle their footprints. Local job boards show roughly nine thousand open positions across the county, with strong demand in healthcare, logistics near the Zaragoza port, and teaching assistants in Socorro and Ysleta.

    On real estate, local brokers say the median home price in El Paso is holding just under three hundred thousand dollars, with homes near Eastlake and Horizon still moving the fastest. Rent for a typical two bedroom near Lee Trevino is now around twelve hundred dollars a month.

    Looking at community life, Sun Bowl Stadium is quiet, but high school baseball and softball are in full swing. Americas High and Franklin both picked up early season wins last night, and several El Paso wrestlers are back from state tournaments with medals, according to school district updates.

    For culture, downtown is busy this weekend. The Plaza Theatre is hosting a touring concert tonight, and San Jacinto Plaza will see food trucks and live music as part of a city sponsored art and vendor market. On the Mission Trail, local shops near Ysleta Mission are preparing for Sunday visitors with handmade crafts and Lenten foods.

    Turning to public safety, El Paso Police report a relatively calm night. Officers responded to a serious rollover crash along Loop 375 near the Spur, with one person taken to the hospital but expected to recover. Police also report an arrest in a string of recent East Side vehicle burglaries near George Dieter, and they remind us to lock cars and avoid leaving valuables visible.

    We close with a feel good moment. A group of Bowie High students spent their Friday afternoon cleaning up around the Chamizal National Memorial, planting desert friendly plants and repainting picnic areas, a reminder of how our young people keep our shared spaces welcoming.

    Thank you for tuning in, and remember to subscribe so you never miss our local roundup. This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates. This has been a quiet please production, for more check out quiet please dot ai.

    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, March 5th.

    El Paso Election Day: Polls Open Despite Glitches, City Council Fights Rate Hikes
    2026/03/03
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for March 3, 2026. We start with todays big story from City Hall, where our City Council just voted to appeal the Texas Gas Service rate hike that could add about four dollars to average monthly bills and up to eleven for larger homes on Green Valley Lane and beyond. Mayor Renard Johnson says they are fighting hard because we deserve a fair deal without carrying statewide costs, and they are also seeking a rehearing on the El Paso Electric increase that might bump bills by around fourteen dollars. These moves protect our wallets right here in the Borderland.

    El Paso Local Pulse: Border Defense, Justice for Lynch, and Community Spirit
    2026/02/27
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Friday, February 27. We kick off with breaking developments at the border where the US military used a laser to shoot down a Customs and Border Protection drone near Fort Bliss, prompting the FAA to close some airspace around our city. Lawmakers like Rep. Rick Larsen called it stunning, but a joint statement from the FAA, CBP, and Pentagon says it was to counter drone threats from cartels, far from populated areas and with no impact on commercial flights. This follows a similar incident two weeks ago, highlighting stronger border defenses under President Trump.

    Shifting to our crime report from the past day, El Paso Police are seeking two suspects in a beer theft at the OXXO on 5830 Dyer Street near Broaddus Avenue. Caught on camera with side-eye stares and packs of Twisted Tea, they struck on February 13 evening. If you know them, call Crime Stoppers at 915-566-8477. We stay safe out there, listeners.

    El Paso Local Pulse: Justice, Safety, and Community Spirit on February 26
    2026/02/26
    Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Thursday, February 26. We start with breaking news from our courts. Domenick Chavez, a 33-year-old driver, just received a 15-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to manslaughter in a tragic head-on crash on US 62 near Dell City in Hudspeth County. He was speeding over 100 miles per hour while passing vehicles on that narrow two-lane road, killing Laura Lynch, a founding member of The Chicks. El Paso County District Attorney James Montoya says this sends a clear message to keep dangerous drivers off our West Texas highways.

    Shifting to City Hall updates, Congresswoman Veronica Escobar introduced the Stop ICE Election Militarization Act yesterday to block federal immigration agents from polling places ahead of midterms. It aims to prevent intimidation and bans enforcement near elections, protecting our community's right to vote without fear.

    Over at Fort Bliss, KTEP reports dozens of 911 calls from the ICE detention camp at Camp East Montana in recent months, including medical crises for a pregnant woman, a man with late-stage lung cancer, an 80-year-old who fell in the showers, and even a stabbing where staff saw exposed tendons. Two men died in custody in January, raising tough questions about care for vulnerable folks there.

    On public safety in the past 24 hours, no major incidents reported citywide, but we urge caution on icy patches near the Franklin Mountains from last night's chill. Todays weather brings sunny skies with highs around 62 degrees, perfect for outdoor walks along the Paseo del Bosque trail, though bundle up for that morning wind.

    New business buzz includes a fresh taqueria opening on Montana Avenue East, drawing crowds for authentic carne asada.
