FAA grounds Fox News drones near where thousands of migrants are sheltering under a bridge

Interestingly enough, the "law enforcement flights" in the area are operated by the Texas Department of Safety, and they are now carrying Fox News crews aloft to video what the drones no longer can.
Reportedly, there are about 8,000 in this makeshift refugee camp under the bridge, with 10,000 more illegals on the way.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) instituted a two-week flight restriction over the city of Del Rio, Texas, late Thursday — preventing Fox News from operating a drone that it had been using to capture images of thousands of migrants sheltering under a bridge as they wait to be picked up by Border Patrol.
The FAA’s website said the temporary flight restriction (TFR) over the Del Rio Port of Entry and the International Bridge was put in place for “special security reasons,” but did not elaborate.
In a statement, the FAA said, “The Border Patrol requested the temporary flight restriction due to drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border. As with any temporary flight restriction, media is able to call the FAA to make requests to operate in the area.”
