The FAA Approves Media Drone Flights After Being Embarrassed by Texas DPS
Townhall.com ^ | 17 September A.D. 2021 | Katie Pavlich

Yesterday the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] invoked a Temporary Flight Restriction [TFR] after Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin aired footage showing 10,000 illegal immigrants camped out under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas. The FAA claimed the TFR was invoked for a “security” reason.

After being grounded for over 12-hours, the Texas Department of Safety offered to take Melugin and his crew up to continue their coverage of Biden’s catastrophic border crisis.

Shortly after the trip, the FAA reopened the airspace.

While 10,000 illegal immigrants wait under a bridge to enter the U.S., 10,000 more are on the way. Border Patrol agents are completely overwhelmed. President Biden is at the beach for the weekend. The Mayor of Del Rio has been ignored as Biden allows thousands of illegal immigrants to overwhelm his town.

How many of that estimated 20,000? have been vaccinated for Covid 1984?

What other serious diseases are these 20,000 illegals breathingout and transmitting 24/7?

That it is.

The Streisand effect is a phenomenon that occurs when an attempt to hide, remove, or censor information has the unintended consequence of increasing awareness of that information, often via the Internet.

It is named after entertainer Barbra Streisand, whose attempt to suppress the California Coastal Records Project photograph of her residence in Malibu, California, taken to document California coastal erosion, inadvertently drew greater attention to it in 2003. [h/t Wiki]

“The whole world knew already the Haitians are down there”

BS,The “whole world” didnt know or give a crap, do a man on the street report and ask about it and you will find most don't have a clue WTF you are talking about because the Lame Stream M wont tell them. Sending up explosive into the area, now thats a stretch as no one really cares about "the crowds" aka illegal unvaccinated unvetted immigrants

10,000 illegal immigrants wait under a bridge, 10,000 more are on the way, as the border crisis escalates.

Biden turned a blind eye and escaped to Delaware for the weekend.........where he and the Biden Crime Family continue to loot Biden’s trillion dollars tax heist bills.

Looks like the TFR for “Special Security Reasons” turned out to not be so special.

Perhaps FAA will stick to FAA business and ignore the whining of prog politicians.

“”Someone gave the order. Name them.
Someone told someone to give that order. Name them””

.

Steve Dickson is the head of FAA.

He reports the the Sec. of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg.

I believe that should tell everyone what they need to know.

FAA and DOT are politically corrupt and use their offices to aid and abet the prog.

They are arriving in gigantic expensive buses across the border.

These are not migrants. These are Invaders. This is an Invasion.

Somebody is paying for it. Town of 35,000, Del Rio, invaded by 10,000 + and counting.

President Biden, have you been briefed on the ongoing crisis yet?


I think the Bidens are enjoying a well-deserved beach weekend. He can’t be bothered. Don’t know where Kamala is. Isn’t the border her bailiwick?

Not only does Dickson report to ButtBoy, but he was well known at Delta as a butt licker determined to move up by using his kneepads.

One more Trump personnel problem: somebody told him Dickson was a good guy. On paper, might look that way. But his actions speak louder.

Your explanation doesn’t hold water...Yet it was only after FOX broadcasting the events the drones were deemed dangerous. The excuse to shutdown the flights by the FAA was entirely political because they lifted it after a helicopter ride with a news reporter happened. The supposed danger has not abated so why drop the prohibition? Your lame explanation would make more sense if the FAA stuck to their guns.

FAA only has control over aerial drones. I can think of numerous non-aerial sneaky ways to get a GoPro camera close enough to get the videos that fedgov apparently wants to avoid.

“Your explanation doesn’t hold water.”

It wasn’t my explanation. It came off this FOX website which I previously posted.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/bidens-faa-places-temporary-ban-on-drones-flying-over-bridge-packed-with-illegal-immigrants

They are the ones that went to the FAA and got the option of entering the zones again because their drones were causing a problem with border patrol flights as stated in the site. They said it happened that way. You got a complaint, contact FOX news. They said this and it happened to them.
