Rooted in resilience: Palestinians build lives, community in El Paso
For Palestinians in El Paso, Israelβs assault on Gaza is a reminder of their familyβs hundred yearsβ struggle.
I got the chance to listen to multiple generations of Palestinians in El Paso share their family history, starting with expulsion from Palestine to building lives as a "minority among minorities" in the U.S.-Mexico borderlands.

From El Paso to Richmond, Virginia, warehouses are leaking ethylene oxide, a cancer-causing chemical. Almost no one knows about them.
Living in El Paso, I knew about device sterilization facilities. I didn't know their warehouses could be a greater risk.

βHeβs here with me:β Walmart shooting survivor honors late father at quinceaΓ±era
Guillermo βMemoβ GarcΓa was the last person to die from the Aug. 3, 2019, Walmart mass shooting. His daughter paid tribute to him at her quinceaΓ±era, dancing to βPrΓ©stame a Mi Padre.β
I still keep in touch with a survivor of the hate crime, who lost her husband in the El Paso mass shooting. While she feels some conflict about the death penalty as a mother trying to protect her children, she ultimately feels let down & hurt by the justice system.

El Paso kindergarteners last school year were just above 95% measles vaccination rate the CDC says is needed for herd immunity in a community.
The rate is higher than larger Texas counties, which lag major border counties.
