El Paso Air Space Closure Tied To Mexican Drug Cartel Drones Breaching US Airspace

The U.S. War Department took them down.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Wednesday briefly grounded all flights to and from El Paso International Airport after Mexican drug cartel drones reportedly breached U.S. airspace.
The threatening act prompted swift action from the Department of War to disable the invading craft, White House officials have confirmed to multiple outlets.
The agency, citing cryptic "special security concerns," had abruptly halted all air traffic over El Paso, initially grounding every flight for a staggering ten days. The move was reversed shortly thereafter, as it was determined that the threats no longer existed.

News Nation correspondent Ali Bradley reported minutes later that the closure was prompted by a breach of airspace by drones owned by Mexican drug cartels.
“Mexican cartel drones breached US airspace," Bradley quoted a White House official. "The Dept. of War took action to disable the drones. The FAA and DOW have determined there is no threat to commercial travel."
While initial details of the closure were scant, it was already clear that there was a significant security threat. The FAA went so far as to warn that it would have to use "deadly force" against any rogue aircraft posing an imminent threat, and suggested pilots who attempted to violate the order would “be intercepted, detained, and interviewed” by law enforcement.
The move left travelers in limbo for a brief period and sparked wild speculation about what hidden dangers were lurking in the skies over Texas. The El Paso airport serves as a major American air gateway north of the US-Mexico border.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, in remarks to the Western Hemisphere Chiefs of Defense Conference this morning, lauded President Trump's leadership against drug traffickers.
"Under President Trump, for the first time in history, the Department of War is on offense against narco-terrorists in our hemisphere," he said.
