Fort Bliss / Briggs Army Airfield is within the restricted area, which may or may not be related.

@ben yeah, almost definitely not that. This was sudden and closes a large civil airport.

This is very unusual. Aside from the disruption- it closes a large metropolitan airport for 10 days- no advance notice was given. So this isn’t for some planned event or operation.

Shutting down a major international airport for 10 days is insane. It'll be impacting something in the neighborhood of 100,000 passengers, plus medical flights, etc. -

Only "rational" explanation I can come up with is using it to launch a war with Mexico, seize some territory or whatever, being as it's right on the border. But that's not rational either
