Borderland kids get warm winter jackets

Hundreds of kids across El Paso and Juarez are heading into winter with brand new jackets, thanks to Operation Noel and the generosity of local donors. For families like Sara Salazar’s, with six kids, these jackets are more than just clothing—they’re a real lifesaver during tough times. The Boys and Girls Club of El Paso helped hand out the gifts, and even Santa showed up to spread some cheer. It’s amazing to see the community come together to make sure no child faces the cold alone. How do you think we can keep this spirit of giving going all year round? #Safety #ElPaso #OperationNoel

El Paso’s Chamizal fights for cleaner air

Chamizal neighbors are taking a stand at the Bridge of the Americas, demanding that heavy truck traffic finally move to the Tornillo port—where it was meant to go. For years, families here have dealt with pollution from idling trucks, and now, as the U.S. plans to ban trucks from BOTA, a Mexican industry group is pushing back, claiming it’ll just shift pollution elsewhere. Residents call this out as hypocrisy, saying industry never cared about their air until now. How do you think border communities should balance industry needs and public health? #Business #Industry #ElPaso
