The incident occurred about two weeks after an anti-drone laser was deployed near El Paso, which prompted the FAA to temporarily shut down airspace over the city for approximately eight hours. The initial closure was announced for 10 days before being reversed.

The agencies stated they are working together at President Trump's direction to mitigate drone threats by Mexican cartels and foreign terrorist organizations at the U.S.-Mexico border. The temporary flight restriction over Fort Hancock does not impact commercial flights.
