The Federal Aviation Administration has lifted a flight ban over the border town of El Paso and parts of southern New Mexico, which was originally imposed due to military operations from Biggs Army Air Field. The restriction was reportedly tied to the Pentagon’s deployment of counter-drone technology aimed at Mexican drug cartels’ use of drones along the U.S.-Mexico border. Under the Trump administration, securing the border against such cartel activities has been a priority, involving the use of advanced defensive technologies to manage emerging threats.
