The crisis at the Southern Border is getting worse, as is evident in the pictures and first-hand testimony shared by Fox reporter Bill Melugin. Yesterday Melugin shared drone footage on his Twitter picturing thousands of illegal immigrants sheltering under the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
The Biden Administration immediately began taking heat from the public as the pictures showed a sea of people and showed that the crisis at the border was far from over.
A few hours after the footage was released, Fox was told by the FAA that the agency would be constricting its ability to fly its drone over the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas.
NEW: We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants. FAA says “special security reason”. pic.twitter.com/aJrjAPO2Pz

“We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two-week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, Texas, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants,” reported Melugin.
He said the FAA cited a “special security reason” for the TFR. In a statement to Fox, the FAA said, “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.”

“Per source, the number of migrants waiting to be processed has now swelled to approximately 8,200. It was 4,000 yesterday [morning]. Doubled in one day,” reported Melugin on Sept. 16.
When the numbers feel like they couldn’t get any worse, Fox’s Bill Melugin reports, “Law enforcement sources say there are up to 10,000 more migrants en route to cross illegally into Del Rio.”
He shared a video of thousands of illegal immigrants waiting on the river bed to cross the Rio Grande. “They have been walking across a dam in the Rio Grande all morning long, and they then walk to the international bridge where they are congregating underneath,” Melugin tweeted.

Founder and lawyer for the Liberty Center, Harmeet Dhillon, tweeted that Alex Jones and Infowars are now suing the Biden Administration “for blocking the airspace over the Texas border.”
So Infowars and Alex Jones are taking the lead on suing Biden for blocking the airspace over the Texas border, with the help of the indefatigable @marcorandazza — here’s the complaint! https://t.co/xrvSo8EVxY

The complaint filed by Alex Jones and Infowars’ lawyer, Marc Randazza, claimed that the government is using its power to stop the effective reporting of the illegal immigration crisis.
“In response to the effectiveness of this coverage by Infowars and other journalists, the United States government took the extraordinary step of banning all UAS (unmanned aircraft systems) use at or near the flashpoint of this crisis by issuing a Temporary Flight Restriction,” the complaint stated.
The complaint said the FAA’s Temporary Flight Restriction “serves no legitimate governmental purpose” other than stopping Infowars from “breaking news relating to the Del Rio migrant crisis and to inform the public about this humanitarian crisis.”
