The Federal Aviation Administration abruptly lifted its closure of the airspace over El Paso, Texas, hours after it was imposed without explanation.
The FAA had closed the airspace over El Paso for 10 days, and CNN's Pete Muntean reported that a source familiar with the situation told him the decision was related to an unspecified military operation at a nearby U.S. Army base.
However, the closure was lifted by the FAA shortly before 9 a.m. EST, about six hours after it was implemented, but no further information was provided by the government about either decision.
"The temporary closure of airspace over El Paso has been lifted," the FAA posted on X. "There is no threat to commercial aviation. All flights will resume as normal."
Muntean's source did not provide any details about the military operation that prompted the closure, but the reporter pointed out that Biggs Army Airfield, which is located at Fort Bliss and is adjacent to El Paso International Airport, is a major base for helicopter and drone activity near the Mexico border.
"So some questions about drone operations there, of course, some big questions here about whether this is something that the federal government and the Department of Defense has not disclosed, and maybe that is why we're not getting some clarity about why this is being put in place with such a sweeping hand by the Federal Aviation Administration," Muntean said. "It's really interesting that the Defense Department is actually referring people, calling them to the FAA, and so now we're kind of stuck in this zone where nobody is really able to get a lot of new information."
CNN's Pete Muntean could not hide his shock at the Federal Aviation Administration's "unprecedented" overnight move to shut down a U.S. airport for more than a week.
The FAA closed the airspace over El Paso, Texas, for 10 days without explanation, but Muntean told "CNN News Central" that a source familiar with the situation told him the decision was related to an unspecified military operation at a nearby U.S. Army base.
"It's a huge deal," Muntean said. "Youknow, it was a mystery, now, alittle bit less so, and the newreporting from me, a sourcefamiliar briefed by the Federal Aviation Administration on thisreally unprecedented 10-dayairspace shutdown over El Paso, Texas, right on the border therewith Mexico, says this is alllinked to military activity atnearby Fort Bliss, specifically Biggs Army Airfield. You can seeit on the map there, just northof the El Paso International Airport. That is significantbecause it seems that the Defense Department was carryingout some sort of operation there, still sort of unspecified,which caused the FAA to thinkthat they could not assure thesafety of flights going in andout of El Paso International Airport. Therefore, that led tothis blanket sweeping airspaceshutdown without modernprecedent."
"A lot of peopleonline have been pointing to 9/11as a similar incident causingsomething like this, that was anationwide emergency airspaceshutdown," Muntean added. "The situation wasfluid, but it was pretty obviouswhy that shutdown went intoplace. This really brokeovernight, and it wasn't veryclear why this went into place.There is never, ever in thehistory of the Federal Aviation Administration, and I can saythat with some authority as apilot and a flight instructor,been a large scale shutdown ofairspace over a largemetropolitan area. We're talkingabout a city of about a millionpeople, about a thousand flightsoperating in that 10-day periodin and out of El Paso, Texas."
The shutdown should have a significant ripple effect on air traffic around the country, and Muntean said he's never seen a similar situation.
"This is not a smallairport, really billed as thegateway to Mexico, this airport," he said. "So this is going to have a bigtrickle-down here. I want toalso point out the things inthis notice to airmen ortemporary flight restrictionthat make this so different thanother temporary restrictions onflights that we see for thingslike VIP movements orpresidential movements. Thisincludes all flights up to18,000 feet. The emphasis there onall flights that's commercialflights. Also police helicoptersand medevac helicopters. Usuallythose things are exempted from alarge ban on airspace of about10 miles here. So this isreally significant, andthe new details are just comingin we now have a better idea ofwhy this was put in place. A bitof an impasse between the Department of Defense and the Federal Aviation Administration."
Muntean said he's especially interested in what sort of operations the Defense Department is conducting at the base.
"Youknow, Biggs Army Airfield is amajor helicopter base," he added. "A lot oftraining there done for the Army, also a drone base. So somequestions about drone operationsthere, of course, some bigquestions here about whetherthis is something that thefederal government and the Department of Defense has notdisclosed, and maybe that is whywe're not getting some clarityabout why this is being put inplace with such a sweeping handby the Federal Aviation Administration. It's reallyinteresting that the Defense Department is actually referringpeople, calling them to the FAA, and so now we're kind of stuckin this zone where nobody isreally able to get a lot of newinformation. We'll keep pushingand trying to get that for you."
The Trump administration’s Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an “unprecedented” order Wednesday morning shuttering all airspace around El Paso, Texas for ten days, an order that left one aviation expert stunned.
“I think it's safe to say it's something very big, either from a national security standpoint or perhaps testing something; equipment, or something going into the air,” said Kyle Bailey, a former FAA Safety Team member, aviation expert and pilot, speaking with Fox News Wednesday.
Early Wednesday morning, the FAA issued what’s known as a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) around El Paso spanning a 10-mile radius and up to 18,000 feet. The FAA cited “special security reasons” as the reason for the TFR, which will remain in effect for 10 days, through Feb. 21.
“Normally temporary flight restrictions could be a day, be two days if it's for VIPs, but it's unprecedented for a 10-day temporary flight restriction,” Bailey continued.
“From the surface up to 18,000 feet and a ten-mile radius... if it was like a space ship launch or something like that, that would be unlimited, but 18,000 feet itself is very, very high for a temporary flight restriction. So it's definitely something big, like a national security event [or] a very high-level VIP.”
The Trump administration has yet to comment on the reason for the TFR, and Fox News’ Ainsley Earhardt noted the unprecedented nature of the order.
“Overnight, the FAA [shut down] all airspace over El Paso, Texas for the next ten days for unspecified 'security' reasons, warning any planes violating [it] can be shot down,” Earhardt said. “Closing airspace over a major U.S. city for this reason is very rare and has not happened since after 9/11.”
Earhardt asked Bailey if the TFR could have been issued due to staffing shortages of air traffic controllers. He immediately ruled that theory out given the relatively low air traffic seen around El Paso. Instead, he again suspected the order could have been issued due to the U.S. military – which has two bases in El Paso, Biggs Army Airfield and Fort Bliss – “testing something that’s going into the air.”
"Definitely something big"

An electric vehicle charging program set to have been rolled out across several blue states has been scrapped, infuriating Gavin Newsom's Press Office.
The Governor of California's team took to X and called out Donald Trump and the decision to cancel the EV plan. A post from the Press Office reads, "Once again Trump is treating the White House like one of his bad reality shows. We've seen this clown show before, and we know how it ends — with Trump losing.
"These cuts are purely political and mirror his recent losing actions rejected by the court. We will continue fighting for Californians." The post followed on from the Press Office account posting a clip of Newsom giving a speech. The Press Office captioned the video, "Donald Trump does not believe in the law or that it applies to him."
The Press Office also denounced the president's rhetoric over healthcare funding. The post reads, "This is becoming a familiar pattern: Trump publicly claims he will rip away public health funding from states that voted against him, and offers no details or formal notice. If or when the Trump Admin takes action, we will respond appropriately."
Newsom had already mocked Trump earlier this week, ripping into the president's Super Bowl statement. Trump had fumed at the Bad Bunny halftime show, taking to Truth Social and ripping into the performance.
He wrote, "There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP."
Newsom's Press Office responded with a related post of its own. They wrote, "BEAUTIFUL HALFTIME SHOW. GOD BLESS BAD BUNNY! GOD BLESS AMERICA! — GOVERNOR GCN." The Governor of California also posted from his official X account to praise the performance."
A person has been detained for questioning in connection with the abduction of the mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, according to a law enforcement official briefed on the investigation.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with assistance from the FBI, detained the person south of Tucson, the source told ABC News. The individual is being held for questioning as investigators continue to pursue multiple leads in the case.
Law enforcement officials are preparing to search a location associated with the detained individual, the source added. The investigation remains active, with law enforcement continuing to search the neighborhood of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
No one has been charged in connection with the abduction. The newest revelation was described as a "very significant development" by CNN law enforcement analyst John Miller. He noted it was the first time in the investigation that an individual had been questioned since the Feb. 1 abduction.
Miller emphasized, however, that it was "too early to tell where this is going."

An Idaho sheriff who denied that his agents used zip ties to detain dozens of children was forced to respond after being confronted with stunning photographic evidence of the damage left on the wrists of a 14-year-old girl.
Chaos unfolded in October during a horse racing event when federal agents descended on La Catedral Arena in a show of military force that traumatized families, many of them U.S. citizens, CBS News reported Tuesday.
Canyon County Sheriff Kieran Donahue initially denied that children were restrained with plastic cuffs during the raid. But then CBS News presented photographic evidence showing bruised wrists on 14-year-old SueHey, a U.S. citizen, who was zip-tied while watching her younger siblings.
"God bless her. I'm sorry she went through that," Donahue said, adding that "law enforcement is not evil because we contained everybody and detained them until we sorted it out. That's not evil."
According to the report, a military-style helicopter swooped low over the field and 200 officers swarmed the property in armored vehicles. Children said they had guns pointed at them and rubber bullets whizzed overhead. Agents smashed car windows where kids huddled from the rain.
Anabel Romero, SueHey's mother, described armed men threatening her when she asked what agency they represented: "I'm gonna [expletive] blow your head off."
"They kicked me, they punched me, they stepped on me," she said.
Homeland Security officials called the zip-tie allegations a "conspiracy theory," but the Caldwell Police Department later admitted that minors had indeed been zip-tied. The ACLU filed a federal civil rights lawsuit on behalf of affected families.
Officials claimed the raid targeted an illegal gambling operation. About 375 people, all U.S. citizens and lawful residents, were eventually released. Just over 100 were determined to be undocumented and detained.
"My opinion is they didn't know that most of the people there were American citizens," Nikki Ramirez-Smith, a local immigration lawyer, told the outlet. "I think law enforcement misjudged it because the event is in Spanish."
The report comes after President Donald Trump admitted last week he "learned that maybe we can use a little bit of a softer touch, but you still have to be tough," when it comes to his nationwide immigration crackdown.
The FBI Tuesday released the first images of a potential suspect in the disappearance of Today host Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother.
In four images captured by a home security camera, a person wearing a face mask, jacket with reflective material, backpack and black Nitro gloves appears at the door of Nancy Guthrie's home in Arizona.
The suspect, who appears to be a man, has a light source or small flashlight in his mouth and stands on the front porch of Guthrie's Tucson home.
The person was reportedly armed and tampered with Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance. It appeared that he tried to block and disable the camera and at one point had some type of plant in his hand.
Guthrie went missing sometime overnight between Jan. 31 and Feb. 1, with reported ransom notes being sent to media companies. The FBI and local police have been conducting a high-profile search for more than week — with few leads.
CNN reported that more images would be released by the FBI.

Pride in the United States has fallen dramatically among young Americans, and a CNN expert showed Tuesday a clear explanation.
President Donald Trump is raging at Team USA Olympic snowboarder Hunter Hess as a "loser" after he expressed mixed feelings about representing his country in the Milan Cortina Winter Games, but CNN's Harry Enten said the 27-year-old views were similar to many others in his age cohort.
"There has been a majorshift over the last decade amongyoung adults in terms of howthey feel, their pride in beingan American, because what are wetalking about here?" Enten told CNN News Central.
"Well, let'sjust take a look – under age 35,pride to be an American, extremely or very proud. You goback a decade ago under Barack Obama, it was 71 percent of those underthe age of 35 were extremely orvery proud to be American. Thatnumber has fallen through thefloor.
"Look at this, now thatnumber has fallen in half. Nowjust 36 percent of those under the ageof 35 are either extremely orvery proud to be an American, and this is a number that we'veseen across the polling data.There has just been a majorshift, a historic shift in thepride that young Americans feelfor their country."
Polling by party affiliation reveals a stark divide, Enten said.
"Okay, so there are tworeasons why pride in thiscountry is falling," he said. "One isyounger Americans, the other is Democrats. Okay, let's take alook here. This is from 2013 tolate 2025, a slightly differentsurvey, but if you look at thesame survey that I was lookingat in the first slide, it's theexact same story. Democrats,pride to be an American,extremely or very proud. In2013, it was 83 percent under Barack Obama. Look at this number now,just 31 percent of Democrats say theyare extremely or very proud tobe an American. That is thelowest number onrecord."
"When you combine bothyouth and being a Democrat, thatnumber falls into the 20s, young Democrats, Generation Z Democrats," Enten added. "Lessthan 30 percent of them are eitherextremely or very proud to be an American. So what we're seeinghere is both age as well aspartisanship playing a majorrole in the fact that pride andthe proudness to be an Americaneither extremely or very proud,is at record lows."
Republicans, on the other hand, remain largely unchanged in their views, Enten said.
"Okay, this is where it getsinteresting, right?" he said. "Because youmentioned, right, and I hadmentioned that Barack Obama waspresident in the mid 2010s, and now Donald Trump, a Republican, Democrat to Republican, being president. Butwhat about Republicans? Theirnumbers have actually stayedpretty steady.
"So let's take alook at this exact same poll.Republicans pride to be an American, extremely or veryproud. In 2013, it was 92 percent. Bylate 2025, pretty close right –80 percent. Maybe a slight fall in thisPRRI survey. But I will note inthe Gallup poll, which measuresover a similar period, there wasno change."
"There was no change, so what we're seeing is we'reseeing younger people and Democrats really shifting away,shifting downward in theirproudness to be an American," Enten added, "while Republicans have stayedpretty steady despite thepartisanship of the presidentchanging. But Democrats verymuch shifting away as thepartisanship of the president,saying Donald Trump has reallysort of changed the equation foryoung Americans and Democratic Americans or those who identifyas Democrats, while he reallyhasn't changed the equation whenit comes to Republicans, whosepride levels have actuallyremained fairly steady over thesame period."
Judges across the country are growing “increasingly furious and exhausted” as the Trump administration continues to openly defy court orders on mass immigration enforcement, prompting courts to proactively threaten to hold Trump administration officials in contempt, Politico reported Tuesday.
“These petitions are filed due to the illegal actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement,” wrote U.S. District Judge Harvey Bartle III, an appointee of former President George H.W. Bush, in a particularly scathing memorandum this month.
“Despite hundreds of similar rulings in this and other courts resoundingly in favor of the ICE-detainee petitioners, ICE continues to act contrary to law, to spend taxpayer money needlessly, and to waste the scarce resources of the judiciary.”
And, Politico wrote, Trump's lawyers are pushing the courts into imminent action.
"As a result, judges have issued more detailed and prescriptive orders to head off potential loopholes or hair-splitting results. And when all else fails, they threaten to hold administration officials in contempt," the outlet wrote.
The Trump administration has been hard at work at its mass deportation efforts, having already arrested more than 328,000 migrants, more than 73% of whom have no criminal history, despite President Donald Trump’s past pledge to only target the “worst of the worst.” To achieve those numbers, the White House has instituted a daily arrest quota of 3,000, and has frequently defied orders by courts in an attempt to meet it.
The Trump administration’s defiance of the courts appears calculated, with detainees often transferred out of state shortly after their arrest, making it difficult for them to acquire legal representation or sue the district where they’re being held. These transfers also frequently take place after a judge has ordered immigration enforcement officials not to move a detainee.
When successfully sued over an immigration-related arrest, the Justice Department often doesn’t respond, missing deadlines and ignoring orders to release detained individuals. And, when a judge does order detained individuals to be released, ICE will sometimes take weeks to comply, an open act of defiance described by one federal judge as a "constitutional injury.”
“Detention without lawful authority is not just a technical defect, it is a constitutional injury that unfairly falls on the heads of those who have done nothing wrong to justify it,” said U.S. District Judge Jerry Blackwell in a hearing on Tuesday, Politico reported.
“The individuals affected are people. The overwhelming majority of the hundreds seen by this Court have been found to be lawfully present as of now in the country. They live in their communities. Some are separated from their families.”
As Minneapolis residents face clashes with federal immigration enforcement agents that have resulted in the killings of two people in the past month, small business owners like Shontay Evans say federal agents’ presence in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul is threatening their financial survival.
Citing declining sales in an atmosphere of fear and distrust, Evans, 41, said she was considering closing Tay’s Secret Garden, a plant nursery she has operated out of her home in St. Paul for seven years.
“Everybody's saving their money because they're scared,” Evans told Raw Story. “It's been pretty rough lately.”
Her experience, and those of other small business owners like her, point to the stress President Donald Trump’s hardline immigration crackdown is placing on entrepreneurs in Minneapolis-St. Paul and other urban areas, even as they struggle to cope with a national surge in the cost of living.
‘Stressed’
In Minneapolis on Jan. 7, an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good, a 37-year-old mother of three, as she drove her car away from an immigration raid in a residential neighborhood.
On Jan. 24, Border Patrol agents killed Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old intensive care nurse for veterans who was filming a confrontation between protestors and federal agents.
Agents pepper sprayed Pretti before shoving him to the ground and firing at least 10 shots in five seconds.
Such traumatic events, as well as continued confrontations between agents and protestors, have left residents increasingly “stressed,” Evans said.
Amid it all, Evans said she “barely made anything” in sales for January.
As February began, the Department of Homeland Security said it was removing from Minneapolis 700 federal agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs and Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol.
But 2,000 agents still remain on the ground.
‘Hit me hard’
Following the death of Good, Ronn Easton, a Vietnam veteran who lives in Little Canada, Minnesota, told Raw Story tension in the area was “palpable” — and reminiscent of the period of civil unrest in the Twin Cities that followed the murder of George Floyd by Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020.
Evans said such tension has led to public events across Minneapolis-St. Paul being canceled — cutting directly into her revenue.

Evans sells house plants locally, offering delivery and pick-up. She also teaches plant education.
“My business was already struggling, so it really hit me hard,” Evans said.
Ever since Trump returned to the White House last year and began sending the National Guard and federal agents to Democratic cities, people have been scared, Evans said.
Business has been “bad since Trump's been in office,” Evans added, noting that she recorded her worst year of sales in 2025.
Coffee shops, bookstores and bakeries across the Minneapolis area have reported struggling since Trump’s immigration crackdown began, according to Time.
In a survey by tourism group Meet Minneapolis, 90 percent of businesses reported experiencing fear and stress from the presence of immigration agents, negatively affecting their businesses.’
Eighty percent of such businesses reported canceled, postponed or reduced bookings and sales, according to the survey.
‘Not right’
Despite the pressure on her business, Evans said she had been out to join protests at least five times, even in freezing temperatures.
She said she protested the day Pretti was killed and also attended protests at the Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building in Fort Snelling, which is serving as an ICE command center.

A friend gave her money to buy pizza and snacks for fellow protestors, Evans said.
“I was sitting at home watching it on TV, and it was just making me so sad,” Evans said.
“I'm like, ‘I gotta do something.’”
Evans recently spoke out in a video produced by Home of the Brave, a nonprofit highlighting what it calls the “catastrophic harm” to ordinary Americans under Trump’s second administration.
Nonetheless, Evans said she was growing discouraged, as she had seen “selective outrage” expressed by fellow residents while the federal government simply continued its aggression.
“I'm just over it because they [are] still gonna let people do whatever they want to do,” Evans said, of the federal government.
“No one's coming to help us. It's just really sad. All I've been doing is crying a lot lately, really.”
Evans said people should “get up and stand up … it's a humanity thing.”
Choking up, she added: “It’s just not right, what's going on out here.”
"Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie on Monday shared a new video message and direct appeal to the public as the search continues for her abducted mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
Guthrie posted a new video on Instagram, thanking people for their prayers and support for her family, including her mother. Nancy went missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, sometime overnight between Jan. 31 and Feb. 1. The last message, posted by the family on Saturday, had appeared to be a direct appeal to a potential ransom or abductor, and the message this week has appeared to differ in tone as the second ransom deadline was reportedly hours away.
“I wanted to come on and just share a few thoughts as we enter into another week of this nightmare," Guthrie said.
"We believe that somehow, someway that she is feeling these prayers and that God is lifting her in this moment and in this darkest place. We believe our mom is still out there," she said. "We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly, around the clock, trying to bring her home, trying to find her."
"She was taken and we don’t know where. And we need your help," Guthrie said. "So I’m coming on, just to ask you, not just for your prayers, but no matter where you are, even if you’re far from Tucson, if you see anything, if you hear anything, if there's anything at all that seems strange to you, that you report to law enforcement. We are at an hour of desperation and we need your help.”
Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI investigators had continued to search for Nancy Guthrie. Anyone with information was urged to contact the tip lines: 1-800-CALL-FBI or 520-351-4900.
Convicted child-sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell vowed to reveal the full “unfiltered truth” as it relates to her alleged co-conspirator Jeffrey Epstein, but only on one condition, her lawyer said Monday.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence on sex-trafficking charges, and on Monday, appeared virtually before the House Oversight Committee after being issued a Congressional subpoena to testify. She refused to answer any questions, however, invoking her 5th Amendment right to remain silent.
Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, released a statement Monday following the Congressional hearing explaining why Maxwell chose to remain silent during her virtual appearance, while also revealing the one thing it would take for Maxwell to tell all.
“If this Committee and the American public truly want to hear the unfiltered truth about what happened, there is a straightforward path. Ms. Maxwell is prepared to speak fully and honestly if granted clemency by President [Donald] Trump,” Markus wrote in a statement.
“Only she can provide the complete account. Some may not like what they hear, but the truth matters. For example, both President Trump and President Clinton are innocent of any wrongdoing. Ms. Maxwell alone can explain why, and the public is entitled to that explanation.”
Ghislaine Maxwell invoked her Constitutional right to silence this morning before @RepJamesComer and the House Oversight Committee. Here is the statement I gave to the Committee explaining why:
Members of the Committee:
On my advice, Ghislaine Maxwell will respectfully invoke… — David Oscar Markus (@domarkus) February 9, 2026
Ghislaine Maxwell, co-conspirator to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, decided to invoke her 5th Amendment rights and refused to answer any questions Monday as the Department of Justice released a new video revealing her life behind bars.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, said that Maxwell declined to answer lawmakers' questions when she came before the committee Monday, and has asked for clemency from President Donald Trump. Her attorney said in his opening statement that neither Trump nor former President Bill Clinton were blameless in Epstein's crimes. Her attorney also told lawmakers that she has a habeas corpus petition pending.
Comer told reporters he did not think Maxwell should be granted any clemency, pointing to comments from Epstein survivors who had called her a "very bad person."
In the new prison video released by the DOJ on Monday and filmed on July 5 2020, Maxwell was seen in an orange jumpsuit exercising in her cell, and eating lunch on her bed with her legs crossed, according to the BBC.
