El Paso braces for heat, dry weather before expected Memorial Day showers
Memorial Day weekend is expected to be hot and dry in El Paso, but rain chances begin to move into Borderland on the federal holiday. Memorial Day is Monday, May 26, and honors the courage, sacrifice, and legacy of those who gave their lives in service to their country. Many have the day off from work, given it is a federal holiday, and some will travel or spend time with their loved ones. Heading into the holiday weekend, El Paso is expected to reach triple-digit heat, with the hottest day expected to be Friday, May 23. There could also be a chance of hitting the 100-degree mark on Saturday, May 24. Southern New Mexico is also expected to be warm, with temperatures nearing triple digits in Las Cruces, Truth or Consequences and Deming. Temperatures will begin to linger around 90 degrees on Monday, May 26, as rain chances move in. Rain and thunderstorm chances return as an increase of moisture moves in from the east early next week, according to the National Weather Service. Most of Texas and Southern New Mexico are forecasted to have above normal chances for rain, with El Paso having a 20% chance on Memorial Day. The borderland could see some isolated showers on Monday night and on Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

82 people face trespassing charges for crossing into New Mexico military zone
Dozens were charged for unauthorized entry in New Mexico's new military zone along the southern border, officials said. A total of 82 people received Title 50 charges as of Thursday, May 1, for crossing into military defense property, a 170-square-mile strip along the base of New Mexico, also known as the Roosevelt Reservation, according to a news release by the United States Attorney for the District of New Mexico. The corridor was recently transferred from the Department of the Interior to the Department of Defense and is now being treated as an extension of U.S. Army Garrison Fort Huachuca, the news release said. The land is subject to military patrols and surveillance, with "U.S. troops authorized to temporarily detain and transfer individuals to federal law enforcement for prosecution." Title 50 charges carry potential penalties of up to one year in prison, in addition to any other immigration-related offenses, the release noted. 'Trespassers into the National Defense Area will be Federally prosecuted—no exceptions,' U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison said in the news release. The charges in New Mexico came as a second military zone created in the El Paso area, which will be part of the Fort Bliss Army base. The area stretches about 53 miles east to the border community of Fort Hancock.
