Okay I need a source on this inane assertion.

Invading Mexico… The entire airspace around El Paso, TX is OFF limits for 10 days.
El Paso is right on the Mexican border. WTF is that all about?
Watch out Mexico!!

No. I’m not adding you to my Top Secret “Signal” chat. I’m not as stupid as Hegseth.

Go look at the FAA map: https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=map_6_1087
There are like six of these all along the border.

Meaning? I’m correct? Or, it’s normal?

It is not normal. They are establishing no fly zones in the US directly adjacent to every major border city in Mexico. It certainly looks like corridors for air strikes, but who knows with these guys, it could just be morons screwing up their jobs too.
Short term restrictions are pretty normal and happen all the time. These are different.

They saw a party balloon, panicked, tried to shoot it down with lasers but failed to inform the FAA what they were doing (it might have even been the FAA doing it which is even more hilarious), so the FAA panicked again and shut down the airspace. Just pure incompetence all around.
