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).
