  • Résumé

  • Good morning, this is El Paso Local Pulse for Saturday, February 15, 2025. We're starting off with some breaking news. A vehicle explosion occurred at the Sun Metro headquarters near the El Paso airport, leaving five people injured. The incident is under investigation, and we'll keep you updated as more information becomes available.

    In other news, local state lawmakers are opposing a proposed bill to criminalize self-managed abortions. This development comes as part of ongoing debates on healthcare policies in Texas. We'll continue to follow this story and provide updates on how it might affect our community.

    Moving on to city hall, the Commissioners Court recently decided not to revisit the El Paso coliseum bond in May, which means no changes are expected in the near future for this project. Meanwhile, construction projects are ongoing across El Paso, with various road closures affecting daily commutes. For example, I-10 East and West will have alternating lane reductions between Vinton Road and Transmountain Road due to retaining wall and earth work. It's essential to check the latest traffic updates before heading out.

    Speaking of traffic, let's talk about the weather. Today is expected to be sunny with moderate temperatures, ideal for outdoor activities. However, it's always a good idea to check the forecast closer to your planned date for the most accurate information. According to recent data, El Paso has seen warmer temperatures than usual this February, with an average temperature of 60.8 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 9.3 degrees above normal.

    In local business news, there have been no major openings or closings reported in the past few days. However, we're excited to share that the Borderland Expressway has opened in the northeast part of the city, which should improve connectivity and ease traffic.

    Looking ahead to community events, there are several activities planned for the next few days, though specific details are not available at this time. We recommend checking local event calendars for the latest information.

    On a positive note, the Bowie High School girls basketball team has won their first district title in over 20 years, a fantastic achievement for our local athletes. Additionally, a heartwarming story from the El Paso Animal Services Center: a boxer, the longest shelter resident, found a home on Valentine's Day, bringing hope and joy to our community.

    In crime news, El Paso police arrested two men for catalytic converter theft in the Lower Valley. Additionally, a CBP officer was arrested and charged with smuggling migrants and drug trafficking. We urge everyone to stay vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.

    This has been El Paso Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
