"There won't be an invasion."

"I believe it's not going to happen."

We will not send military "to invade Mexico."

"There is no evidence that the U.S. is considering military action against Mexico or election interference."

"It [the idea of military strikes in Mexico] sounds good, but it's not real."

"Trump's history with this threat [to invade Mexico] suggests we should take it more seriously."

President Trump is committed to "using the full might of the United States special operations to take them [drug cartels] out [of Mexico]."

An invasion of Mexico is "something I could actually see Trump doing."

"If it takes military action [against Mexico], that's what we'll have to do."

US sending troops into Mexico "could happen."

Will the USA Invade Mexico?

The Federal Aviation Administration lifted a temporary flight restriction over El Paso, Texas, on Wednesday morning after initially imposing a 10-day closure that halted all flights to and from El Paso International Airport and neighboring Santa Teresa, New Mexico.

The FAA issued the restriction late Tuesday for "special security reasons," covering a 10-nautical-mile radius around El Paso International Airport from the ground up to 17,999 feet, with the closure initially set to last until Feb. 20.

A Trump administration official stated that Mexican cartel drones breached U.S. airspace and the Department of War took action to disable the drones, determining there was no threat to commercial travel.

An aviation industry source told multiple outlets the closure stemmed from the Defense Department operating unmanned aircraft and testing counter-drone technologies, including high-energy laser systems, near Fort Bliss without sharing safety information with the FAA.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her government had no information about organized criminal groups using drones in relation to the El Paso airspace closure and that Mexico's airspace was never closed.
