The Trump administration has taken down a drone tied to a Mexican cartel after it flew into US airspace.

The incursion forced the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to shut down El Paso airspace, which spans two US border states, for 10 days.

Hours later, the FAA lifted the ban, noting there was no ongoing threat to commercial travel.

I think the shutdown broadcast got messed up and they probably just wanted one for a few hours.

First time doing something like this probably, so they better get it right next time.

It's good to see a President and an administration that actually protects Americans for a change.

FAA Ends Airspace Closure In Texas, Says Flights Will Resume​

More like DOD Drones and NOT cartel

I wonder how they identified them as cartel drones considering cartels definitely don't put insignia on anything they own.

Airspace closure followed spat over drone-related tests and party balloon shoot-down, sources say

Pentagon officials had undertaken planning to use military technology near Fort Bliss, in El Paso, to practice downing drones.

he unexpected but brief airspace closure in the Texas border city of El Paso stemmed from disagreements between the Federal Aviation Administration and Pentagon officials over drone-related tests, multiple sources close to the matter told CBS News.

The Pentagon had undertaken extensive planning on the use of military technology near Fort Bliss, a military base that abuts the El Paso International Airport, to practice taking down drones.

Two sources identified the technology as a high-energy laser.

Lol, Trump did it? Soo he been hanging out in El Paso. Huh. Lol, wonder what the economic loss of closing airspace for ten days is? How do we know they are cartel drones. Knock down 10 drones does what exactly? I guess people are easily impressed. Lol

Trump let 3 go over the US under him and then shot down a "party balloon". Nothing is more incompetent than that. Joe shot the one down like a boss.

I've never heard of those 3. Prove it.
Oh and Biden shot it down AFTER it had crossed the whole country, like the China-owned ***** he was.

Why am I not surprised? Trump never saw them coming.

Trump-era Chinese spy balloons went undetected

They may have been classified as UFOs, or unidentified anomalous phenomenon, at the time, reports say.

www.bbc.com

At least three suspected Chinese spy balloons flew over the US undetected during the Donald Trump presidency, defence officials have said.

The US did not detect the balloons at the time, said Gen Glen VanHerck, citing a "domain awareness gap".

The real problem continues to be ignored. Why are cartels attracted to this country? Because we have a drug abuse/addiction problem that is not being addressed.
