The FAA claims that media drones flying over the bridge are interfering with law enforcement aircraft?
Seems like sort of a lame excuse. If that was true, then drones would need to be outlawed pretty much anywhere there was an airport or any planes flying by. Besides, what sort of law enforcement flights are taking place that low around the border that camera drones would cause an issue. More to the point, what happened over the past few days that suddenly made these drones a big problem? Seems if drones interfered with planes, then that wouldn't just be a problem
Seems more likely that (once again) the Biden Administration is attempting to hide the truth. This has become the Motus Operandi for the Biden Administration and the left as a whole. The authoritarianism and Nazi-like free speech and free meia suppression and the attacks on anyone pushing against the Government.

ATHENS—The Pentagon’s top military officer, Gen. Mark Milley, said he would mount a vigorous defense of two calls he placed to his Chinese counterpart in the tumultuous last days of the Trump administration, describing an effort to calm Beijing’s nerves and avert a military conflict.
“These are routine calls in order to discuss issues of the day, to reassure both allies and adversaries in this case, in order to ensure strategic stability,” Gen. Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told reporters traveling with him on a military jet Friday. “And these are perfectly within the duties and responsibilities of the chairman.”
Gen. Milley was speaking publicly for the first time since reports on a new book revealed he made two calls to his Chinese counterpart, one in October 2020 and another in January. Beijing had grown concerned that President Donald Trump was considering attacking China as tensions between the two nations rose in the South China Sea and Mr. Trump’s own rhetoric grew more fiery, according to media reporting on the book “Peril,” due out next week by Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
That prompted Gen. Milley to reach out to his Chinese counterpart to reassure Beijing that the U.S. wouldn’t strike, and that if an attack were to occur, Gen. Milley would give his counterpart a heads-up, according to reporting on the book. Reports of those calls inflamed conservative Republican criticism of Gen. Milley, who some critics believe should step down or be fired.

Gen. Milley made about 20 calls to his counterparts between October and January, including to military leaders in Afghanistan, Canada, Israel, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, North Atlantic Treaty Organization, Pakistan, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and the U.K., officials said.
The call between Gen. Milley and his Chinese counterpart, Gen. Li Zuocheng, on Jan. 8 followed another call two days earlier between a top Pentagon policy official and his counterpart in China, according to U.S. defense officials. That call was authorized by the acting defense secretary, Chris Miller, who was also apprised of the Milley call, officials said.
Gen. Milley has been condemned by some of the same critics on the right for his positions on gender and race in the military, on the teaching of controversial social and political theory at the U.S. Military Academy, and for his role in the drawdown of troops from Afghanistan.
Gen. Milley, traveling to Athens to attend a NATO conference of defense ministers, said he wanted to wait until he could testify in the Senate on Sept. 28 to provide more clarity about his actions instead of using the media to defend himself.
“I will go into any level of detail Congress wants to go into,” he said.
President Biden is standing by Gen. Milley, whose term runs to October 2023, as are a number of top Democrats and former officials like John Bolton, who was one of Mr. Trump’s national-security advisers.

Propaganda classics
The Federal Aviation Administration has placed a two-week flight restriction along a bridge at the southern border inundated with thousands of illegal immigrants, which prevents reporters from flying drones to document the crisis.
Pictures are available everywhere

That call was authorized by the acting defense secretary, Chris Miller, who was also apprised of the Milley call, officials said.
So you read this carefully.
There were two calls. One was authorized and the other took place two days later and was not authorized? What do you suppose took place within a two day period that REQUIRED another call from Milley that he did not feel the need to provide any notice or get any authorization from Chris Miller?
Was the subject of that second phone call something he didn't want his superior officer to know about? Because Miller has suggested quite openly that he did not authorize the phone call in question. This story pretty much confirms that while trying to make it seem otherwise.
Of course people can fly drones anywhere
Again, Roger...
Read the fucking stories. Do a little god damned research. If you were so smart, why do you look like an idiot 90% of the time?
The FAA told everyone that they could not fly drone over because of law enforcement planes.
Why would you question this?

shocking
roger can't comprehend
the pictures he is now so excited to see were all taken from drones before the Biden administration shut them down
I wonder why
this drone footage from coverage by a Fox reporter would not exist if this order had been in effect earlier
guess we need to go back to the old standard
THWAP !!!

Plagiarism squared off
I read it and again it is propaganda.
which prevents reporters from flying drones to document the crisis.
You believe that the government forbid pictures of illegal immigrants because you think they are trying to let beaners and rapists come here and take our jobs for less money and than white people like you and me.

If the federal government needs to fly aircraft, they have the authority to reduce the risk to the pilots Scott!
Drones can damage aircraft and cause them to crash and kill the pilots!
The same thing occurs at airports etc!
You are a propagandists now

AMAZING -- Since the Biden administration has kicked @BillFoxLA and his team out from flying Fox News's drones along the U.S./Mexico border in Del Rio, TX, *local* law enforcement decided to get him a helicopter to hop in and go check things out to continue reporting.
@BillFOXLA Melugin: "This is a wild situation. We reported earlier that the FAA grounded our Fox News drones...Well, the troopers with Texas DPS are kind enough to let us go up in their helicopter...Look at the mass of people...It looks like there's a water park down there."
@BillFOXLA on what Joe Biden DOESN'T want you to see: Border Patrol sources "tell me that this situation is 'out-of-control.' They need help. They say there aren't even enough porta-potties or food or anything...It looks like a large refugee camp."
@BillFOXLA: "It is incredible to see this perspective up here. We hear the administration saying the border is closed. There's extremely progress being made. This doesn't not look like a closed border...This is hundreds of people streaming in...Pretty remarkable footage."
"We have no idea how long these people are going to be there...This has been happening all morning long...We are not allowed to the drive in...This situation looks like it is going to get worse before it gets better. The stream of people is not stopping."
It certainly does not look like an international border there...We’re talking more 10,000 people, guys and this has exploded in size in just two days...There are reports that there are more than 10,000 migrants still on the way."
"I have been covering the border all summer long. It’s like my 10th trip out here. I have not seen anything like this...What I'm looking at right now is — is incredible...It’s one thing seeing it on TV, but seeing it up here...It’s wild. Our border is wide open."
Melugin and his crew spot illegal immigrants gathering grass, tree branches, and other brush to make HUTS along a highway overpass.
Melugin also said border agents are “severely outnumbered. They need some serious help...They are insanely frustrated.”
Melugin mentions people are going back & forth between Mexico and the U.S. without any resistance, adding: “This is the most remarkably stunning thing we have seen...Something has got to change pretty quick, guys, b/c this is unsustainable.”
"They’re just congregating under the bridge...It is safe to say these numbers are pushing at least 11,000...You’re going to have some serious Covid concerns...Haiti has a Covid-19 vaccination rate of less than 1%...Probably looking at some serious...health issues”
“We’re talking about the size of college basketball arena underneath that bridge...What they’re having to do now is...basically being babysitters...There’s been no real change in policy...A court date in the future in the United States. Some...never show up.”
“It’s pretty wild to see this & again, zero action from the Mexican side. It’s incredible, guys...[Y]ou can't have 11,000 people just sitting and camping out in the open...I know I sound like a broken record...but, guys, this is just remarkable to witness.”
