Or the US military shoot down a commercial flight somehow mistaking it for a cartel drone.....
I'm guessing since it was electronic warfare measures it's something that fries electronics on all aircraft within a certain range and not something like conventional weapons where you can pick and choose what aircraft to target.
Hence shutting it down for everything.

Why start with a 10 day closure just to lift it a few hours later?
This strikes me as an FAA vs. military spat that likely got resolved at a higher level. I suspect someone at one of these organizations is in a lot of trouble.
Or...
If you don't know how long it's going to take you plan for longer. Far easier to reopen early that to have to pause operations (allowing your enemy time to reset/regroup) to expand the closure.
We channeled to our enemies we need days. We only need hours.
Probably the cartels testing our capabilities and test for any weaknesses.

Do they make cool sounds when they do, like "mierda", or "chinga tu madre"
Nobody cares. Work Harder

Here's hoping nothing snuck across the border (virus wise, intentionally or unintentional) and this is the first step of many to ensure containment.
i may have to start working on my PPP loan paperwork.

They have been flying drones and delivering drugs by drones over the border for years. I think these were big drones. Not the dinky drones

Agreed. My first thought as well.

I don't want to understate their abilities, but they aren't sophisticated enough for this.

Al-Shabaab is Africa is using drones for surveillance and offensive attacks and are even beating the Russians. The cartels have the money and resources to have similar capabilities. Remember the cartels have partnered with the Chinese for drugs and weapons.

This deal is odd, the "cartels" have been flying drones across the border for years, in prolly lots of locations. BP friends have shared videos withe me of agents shooting Mex drones down and have also relayed how they track them via the Aerostat and radar coverage.
There have been helicopters, small planes, and years back basically kamikazi crop dusters that would cross the border and drop dope or souls.
And some of that has been close to other comercial airports. This is just a weird deal to me, save for someone flying drones into and very close to the airport.
Just because something bad has been happening for a long time doesn't mean it's weird or odd that somebody is finally doing something about it. It is odder to me that past administrations cared nothing about the activity.
The best way to keep evil men from wielding great power is to not create great power in the first place.
We are now getting serious about Chinese hot air balloons.

Guess we'll have to change the name to El No Paso

Maybe the rumors of Iranian shoulder launched missiles crossing the border were true?
I would be suprised if the cartels did NOT have missiles.Several countries would gladly sell them to the cartels.

Cartels can and do acquire military grade weapons and technology. They are worth as much as Fortune 100 companies.

I wonder if the cartel drone incursion is in response to land seizures announced Feb 10th?

"We took the land and everything on it," the post said. A video shared with the post showed law enforcement officers arresting several people. "They thought they were untouchable. They were wrong. Over 134 acres of land and property, taken from the westside Gulf Cartel, a terrorist organization operating near Rio Grande City, Texas," according to the video.

This is what I voted for
Maybe the administration is sending a signal to the cartels to knock it off. There's a new sheriff in town and these are the new rules.RGV AG said:

Thought it was interesting the President didn't attend the 2026 Super Bowl because " it would take too long".
I assumed something big is brewing requiring his attention.

You know that's not actually why he didn't attend, right?

This NOTAM came out on 28 January re GPS interference in the vicinity of Ft. Hood--with operations to continue 2 through 27 February.
FLIGHT ADVISORY GPS INTERFERENCE TESTING FORT HOOD TEXAS
I wonder if there is a connection to the postulated actions at El Paso?

Not goin' to Holloman now.......
Rumor now is FAA fighting with DoD over airspace, and maybe some DoD experiment or project regarding GPS blackout areas
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really
Would it not put it past Sheinbaum's Irregulars to do some contract work for someone like Iran or their ilk. Perhaps testing Ft. Bliss's capability. The 32d Army Air and Missile Defense Command is HQ on Bliss.

Considering it was EW it'd be a bit underwhelming, most likely the drones just falling from the sky.
