The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instituted a two-week flight restriction over the city of Del Rio, Texas late Thursday — preventing Fox News from operating a drone that it had been using to capture images of thousands of migrants sheltering under a bridge as they wait to be picked up by Border Patrol.
The FAA’s website said that the Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) over the Del Rio Port of Entry and the International Bridge was put in place for “Special Security Reasons,” but did not elaborate.
In a statement, the FAA said, “the Border Patrol requested the temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border. As with any temporary flight restriction, media is able to call the FAA to make requests to operate in the area.”
Fox News national correspondent Bill Melguin told Tucker Carlson Thursday night that he found the timing and location of the TFR to be “a little bit curious.”
“I just want to point out, Fox News has been at the border for the better part of seven months now,” Melugin said. “We’ve been using the drone the entire time. It’s never been an issue. All of a sudden, the last 24 hours, we start showing these images at this bridge and a TFR goes up. We can no longer fly.”

The Biden administration knows how bad the optics are but rather than trying to stop illegal entries they remove the optics instead.

Maybe some young enterprising T-6 pilot, can break out of the runway 13R traffic pattern, and over fly the bridge, and take a picture. 😀👍

Not the entire govt, but the effective chain of command certainly is.

If the BP ignore them and dont come will the illegal aliens just pack up and go back home to Medico ???
Maybe that’s the answer... leave them there to fend for themselves...they got themselves there...
If they know the BP wont ‘rescue’ them they wont come...

“We’ve been using the drone the entire time. It’s never been an issue. All of a sudden, the last 24 hours, we start showing these images at this bridge and a TFR goes up. We can no longer fly.”Like the 17 minutes missing from the Nixon tapes.

Fox News should keep showing those photos with a caption that says, “This is what the area looked like before the government stopped us from taking pictures.”

It’s not just the top brass in all these federal govt agencies, FAA , FBI, DOJ, IRS, etc. There has to be hundreds, thousands, across America that could expose the truth about corruption in these agencies. Where the heck are all the whistleblowers? Where are they??

They don't. Take a break and watch MSM for a day. This story never comes up. It's not being reported.
ServPro MSM. "Like it never even happened".
It's more interesting to see what's NOT being reported in the MSM than what is.
