Biden sparks NEW border crisis: 10,000 HAITIANS gather under Texas bridge in just a week after president quietly ended deportation flights to the country - FAA bans 'embarrassing' drone flights overhead showing the squalid camp
- More than 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants are now living in fetid conditions under the bridge
The FAA implemented a two-week flight ban over the Del Rio Port of Entry and the International Bridge in the city of Del Rio,
Texas, Thursday night, claiming the move was for 'special security reasons' to prevent 'drones interfering with law enforcement flights on the border.'
The ban effectively grounded a
Fox News drone hours after the network released shocking footage showing thousands of migrants living in squalor under the bridge as they crossed the US's southern border and waited to be processed by Border Patrol.
More than 10,000 mostly Haitian migrants have gathered there in recent days, in a temporary camp which has have ballooned since
Joe Biden halted deportation flights back to Haiti.
The president canceled deportation flights of migrants to Haiti on September 8 and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) extended temporary protected status (TPS) to Haitian nationals while the country is rocked by its biggest crises since the 2010 earthquake.
Under TPS, foreign nationals cannot be deported back to countries hit by natural or manmade disasters, enabling Haitians to live in the US without legal status.
