Biden FAA Impose Drone Ban as Videos Expose TX Migrant Catastrophe
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
President Biden’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a temporary ban on drone usage at the southern border as videos exposed an emerging migrant catastrophe.
Shocking video of thousands of illegal aliens in noticeable squalid conditions under a bridge in Del Rio, Texas, provides video proof of the humanitarian crisis.
Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin broke the story by exposing the thousands of illegal migrants under the bridge with video from a drone.
NEW: A source on the ground sent us this video showing thousands of migrants under the international bridge in Del Rio, TX with more showing up constantly. We’re told the situation there is getting worse every day and the numbers are growing by the hour. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/nu32xrsNOK

Melugin also shared a ground-level video of thousands of illegal aliens under the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
Law enforcement source on the ground at the bridge this morning just sent me this video showing the situation there. I’m told a large majority of the migrants are Haitians and more are crossing into the US and arriving at the bridge by the minute. BP w/ limited manpower @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/dHWCrhFikq

Following the release of the damning videos, the FAA announced a two-week ban citing a “special security reason.”
Melugin stated the network was using drones for months with no problems until now.
NEW: We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants.

UPDATE: FAA statement
“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.”@FoxNews

The drone ban was discussed on Fox News.
We won't let the FAA control the news you get. Watch this video and see how @faanews tried to shut down our newsgathering on the southern border. That can't happen. Our own @BillFOXLA will be back with us on @FoxNews tomorrow at 8pm ET. pic.twitter.com/4WIJCC0O4y

Critics commented on social media.
What a coincidence.
The FAA better be ready to explain to Congress why they're suddenly blocking the media from covering Biden's border crisis. https://t.co/fd2y7G8RRg

Biden admin: This looks like a huge problem… ban the flying of drones so there aren’t any more aerial pictures! https://t.co/cV24IVM60F

DailyMail.com reports it’s predominately thousands of Haitian migrants arriving under the bridge at a steady stream.
More than 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants have gathered there in recent days, in a temporary camp which is said to have ballooned since Joe Biden halted deportation flights back to Haiti.
Biden and the FAA imposing a ban on drones to restrict access along the bridge sure looks like an attempt to hide and cover up the truth from the public.
