From nyt:
"...The airport said in a statement that the restriction had been issued “on short notice” and that it was waiting for additional guidance from the F.A.A. In a notice, the F.A.A. said the federal government “may use deadly force” if an aircraft violating the airspace is determined to pose “an imminent security threat.”...
Weird. Worth keeping an eye on.

@newsguyusa This has all the vibes of a Trump vindictive action.

@newsguyusa it's pretty close to Juarez, #Mexico.
Everything else seems normal, aside from covid and tb outbreaks in the detention center near Fort Bliss.
Could be actions into Mexico.
I hope not. But everything else seems pretty normal.

@newsguyusa This is bullshit. 10 days is way longer than Trump's attention span.

@newsguyusa - you gotta wonder if its not for one of two reasons:
1/ Border control / ICE and / or military have fucked up in a major way and are hiding something, or,
2/ El Paso is Democrat-run and Agent Orange is just being his usual clueless but spiteful self. -

@newsguyusa
Now that I think about it,this smells like a trial run of restricting movement.
Try that shit at a major hub -

@newsguyusa OK, what has happened elsewhere in the US we were meant to miss whilst speculating over El Paso, any ideas?

@newsguyusa First it is for 10 days without warning and now it is off. Did Trump attempt to tariff the air itself?

@aadeacon @newsguyusa
A different restriction was added immediately afterward, for the same duration. It's west of El Paso centered on the border wall where an access road meets it.Probably some high-ranking fascist planning to go there for a photo op

“That is not the information that we in Congress have been told,” Rep. Escobar says of Trump administration claims El Paso airspace had to be shut down because of incursions by Mexican cartel drones. https://kvia.com/news/top-stories/2026/02/11/rep-veronica-escobar-criticizes-faa-over-sudden-el-paso-airspace-closure/
