Republican South Carolina Sen. John Kennedy said Friday that the FAA's grounding of all drones near that Texas bridge is fulfilling the Biden administration's goal to hide the "Lunacy" of its "Open border" policy.
The Border Patrol denied that grounding the drones has anything to do with news gathering and said that it "Requested the temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border."
Images captured by The Epoch Times this week showed thousands of illegal immigrants congregating under the Del Rio Bridge in south Texas as they waited to be processed by Border Patrol.
Border Crisis: After exposing the massive explosion in illegal border crossings in the last 24-hours with their overhead drone, the FAA steps in to ban Fox News from flying.
In a statement to Fox News, the FAA said the no-fly zone ban was imposed at the request of the U.S. Border Patrol but noted that media can make a request for an exemption.
"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," the FAA said.
Border Patrol agents detain illegal immigrants who have just crossed into the United States from Mexico under the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas, on Sept. 14, 2021.
