Right, so that says Ojinaga will now agree with the nearby Presidio, 
Texas (-06 with US DST rules), which makes sense.

On the other hand it also says that the much larger Ciudad Juárez (which 
will become -06 with US DST rules) will now start to disagree with the 
nearby El Paso (-07 with US DST rules) - that is, starting Sunday the 
two neighboring cities will almost invariably disagree about the time of 
day. I'm not seeing any news items talking about this situation, which 
is a curious thing for a binational metro area with a population of 2.7 
million (mostly in Mexico).
