Well, actually I used Ojinaga as an example, but most of the northern municipalities (if not all) will keep aligned with USA DST rules, as read on the same note you quoted:

This includes Ciudad Juárez, certainly.
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.
