In other news, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) temporarily closed the airspace above El Paso International Airport in Texas on Tuesday night, citing restrictions that would be in place for 10 days, according to Ars Technica. However, less than 10 hours later, the airspace was reopened, allowing planes to resume landing and taking off. US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy explained the closure, stating that the FAA and Department of Defense (DOD) "acted swiftly to address a cartel drone incursion," according to Ars Technica.
Meanwhile, the United States court system in Minnesota is facing strain due to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation, as reported by Wired. Since Operation Metro Surge began in December, federal immigration agents have arrested approximately 4,000 people, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This has resulted in a surge of cases filed in the US district court in Minnesota, with attorneys filing nearly as many habeas corpus petitions as were filed across the entire US in a year, according to Wired's review of court records.
ICE is also planning an expansion into over 150 office spaces across the United States, including 54 specific addresses, according to Wired. These locations will include existing government spaces, as well as shared spaces with medical offices, small businesses, daycares, churches, and treatment centers.
