Great reporting by @priscillatotiya.bsky.social @elpasomatters.bsky.social on how the county, city, and local hospital are using their opioid settlement funds... including $411k spent on demolishing an old strip club building elpasomatters.org/2025/12/01/e...
elpasomatters.org
El Paso received $5.2 million to mitigate opioid risks, with more funds to come. Most of that money sits unspent
Texas began distributing opioid abatement funds from a national settlement agreement with pharmaceutical companies that drove the opioid crisis.

Historically, Border Patrol’s El Paso sector — which includes New Mexico’s border with Mexico and El Paso and Hudspeth counties in west Texas — has had among the fewest migrant deaths across the southern border.

In 1955, the head of immigration enforcement wrote, “wetback problem no longer exists.” "The border has been secured,” he declared. Seven decades later, Trump is doing what the Eisenhower administration said it already did: stop illegal immigration. www.texastribune.org/2025/02/12/t...

Trump’s mass deportation plans have echoes of a 1950s federal crackdown that swept through Texas
Seventy-one years after the Eisenhower administration launched a high-visibility operation to arrest undocumented immigrants, President Trump is following some of the same playbook.
