I wasn't focusing on Ciudad Juárez using DST; that's pretty clear and 
there's nothing new there.

I was focusing on Ciudad Juárez not changing its clocks next weekend 
(November 6), thus staying on -06 instead of falling back to -07 like El 
Paso will. This is a major change, because until now Ciudad Juárez has 
stayed pretty much in lock-step with El Paso.

Is it really the case that Juárez will not fall back on November 6, and 
will thus start disagreeing with El Paso? Is there news coverage of this 
somewhere?

Another possibility, depending on how the new law is written, is that 
Ciudad Juárez is legally required to spring forward this weekend from 
-06 to -05 because DST will still be in effect when Chihuahua moves to 
-06 this weekend; and then Ciudad Juárez will be legally required to 
fall back next weekend from -05 to -06 because it will be following the 
US DST rules. But even if the new law is written that way, it's hard to 
believe that people in Mexico will actually follow the law as written.
