Local News

“Passport Day” El Paso 🌍

The El Paso Passport Agency is hosting a special “Passport Day” on Saturday, April 26th from 7:30 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. No appointment needed—just walk in for renewals, new applications, or kids’ passports. It’s quick, easy, and perfect for last-minute travel plans! You can learn more in the post below.

Pushback Stops Nurse Cuts 👩‍⚕️

Canutillo ISD planned to replace registered nurses with less-trained nurses to save money—but after a flood of parent and staff pushback, the school board backed off. Nurses will keep their jobs for now, but district leaders say more tough choices are coming due to ongoing budget problems.

Caught Dumping in Desert 🗑️

A mom and son were caught red-handed dumping trash in the desert, deputies say. The duo was arrested, charged with illegal dumping, and hit with $1,000 bonds each. They’ve since bonded out, but not without some serious side-eye. We have such a beautiful city, let’s try to keep it that way.
