Related to the Guthrie kidnapping perhaps?

I'm from El Paso. This is bullshit if I've ever heard. There are no fucking drones around here, especially not from cartels. The only criminal cartel here is ICE.

“For special security reasons”. Is a “special military operation “ following? Maybe somebody in Mexico said something mean about the president.

But seriously, is this normal without any explanation? The cost must be enormous.

it's in general highly abnormal

which kinda makes it normal to not have a explanation

because anything abnormal enough to cause something like that is also likely something kept secret until it's done

(Like large scale operations against drug cartel, "special military operation", or a large scale ICE operation which shouldn't be able to cause this but does because the current administration is uh, what it is.)

If a reasonable administration took this step without any justification, I'd have serious questions.

Under this administration, I'm very very concerned that it's cover for something deeply nefarious.

This isnt a particularly special thing. It's a catchall rule and given the identical one to the west, it looks like a common military one.

Neither military nor medevac is exempted. This is unusual.

The medevac is scary. This could cost lives. Hopefully there's a reason but, given how clumsy this admin is, who can say?
