Something happened over El Paso, Texas that should terrify every freedom-loving American—and the mainstream media is doing everything they can to bury this story. Mexican drug cartels just demonstrated they have the power to shut down major American cities at will, using military-grade drones to paralyze our aviation system and force a Pentagon response on U.S. soil.
The Federal Aviation Administration took the unprecedented step of completely shutting down airspace over El Paso for what was initially planned as ten consecutive days—the first time American airspace has been locked down like this since September 11, 2001. Let that sink in, Patriots. Foreign criminal organizations just proved they can ground American aviation whenever they choose.
This wasn't some cheap toy drone buzzing the border fence. These were sophisticated, military-grade unmanned aircraft that penetrated deep into American territory over a major city. Southwest, United, American, and Delta all had flights grounded. The FAA cited "special security reasons" and warned pilots they could be intercepted, detained, and questioned by law enforcement for violating the restriction.
Pentagon Forced to Deploy War-Fighting Assets
When the situation escalated beyond civilian control, Fort Bliss deployed laser countermeasures to disable cartel drones operating dangerously close to civilian aircraft. Fighter jets scrambled. Marine helicopters were dispatched. The Department of Defense engaged in active counter-drone warfare on American soil against foreign criminal organizations.
This is not immigration policy, folks. This is warfare.
"The FAA does not shut down airspace over a major city for ten days unless something is catastrophically wrong," noted aviation expert Mike Boyd.
Here's what should infuriate every American: Once the Pentagon finally took decisive action, those drones were disabled and airspace reopened within hours. If our military could solve this crisis so quickly, why were American flights grounded for days before anyone acted? Who gave the order to finally respond, and who was responsible for the inexcusable delay that left an entire city paralyzed by foreign criminals?
What happened over El Paso represents a dangerous escalation. The cartels didn't just cross our border—they demonstrated they can shut down American cities and our government will hesitate to respond. Thank God President Trump is back in the White House with leaders who understand this is about national sovereignty, not just border security.
How long will we tolerate foreign criminal organizations wielding military capabilities against American cities? The cartels just showed their hand—the only question is whether we have the will to call their bluff.
