San Antonio Daily Local Headlines: City Hall censure, a long march downtown, and Run the Alamo closures

San Antonio starts March with a mix of City Hall fallout, immigration-focused advocacy, and a busy Sunday downtown as warm weather hangs on.

1) City Hall: Council censures the mayor

In a rare public rebuke, San Antonio City Council voted 8-1 on Feb. 27 to censure Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones over conduct tied to a confrontation with a council member earlier this month. The move is largely symbolic, but it carries real political weight: the mayor agreed to leadership training and to step away from chairing the council’s governance committee for a set period. Key details from the outside investigation have not been made public, keeping tensions high even as leaders say they want to move forward.

2) Immigration: Faith leaders finish a 90-mile march

On Feb. 28, faith leaders and advocates wrapped up a four-day, roughly 90-mile walk from Dilley to downtown San Antonio to protest the detention of immigrant children and families. The final stretch included stops connected to past migration tragedies in the region and ended near the immigration courthouse. Organizers framed the walk as both a moral and civic call, saying they intend to keep pushing for releases and policy changes.

3) Traffic: Run the Alamo closures Sunday

If you are driving today, plan extra time. Road closures are expected from about 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. as the Run the Alamo full and half marathons route through downtown and parts of the South and Southeast sides, including areas near the Missions. Detours and slower travel are most likely around the route’s start and finish near Hemisfair.

4) Weather: Warm start to March, storms possible midweek

After an unusually hot February, forecasts call for highs in the 80s to open the month. Winds could bump temperatures even higher Tuesday, with a better chance of showers and thunderstorms around Wednesday as moisture returns.
