BNHR is initiating a legal rights campaign and community forums to empower immigrants. Religious leaders in El Paso have also expressed continued support for immigrants amidst heightened fears.

CNN to lay off dozens as part of major restructuring
SUMMARY: CNN plans to lay off around 200 employees, or six percent of its global workforce, as part of a major restructuring aimed at transitioning towards digital media during Donald Trump’s second term. The changes are driven by parent company Warner Bros. Discovery’s $70 million investment, targeting $1 billion in digital revenue by 2030. CNN will replace traditional linear television roles with new digital positions, expecting to post over 100 job openings in early 2025. CEO Mark Thompson emphasized the necessity of adapting to evolving news consumption habits to maintain high-quality journalism. Programming changes are also anticipated.
