Fox’s Bill Melugin has been reporting on the horrible situation at the International Bridge in Del Rio, Texas for the past two days.

NEW: Source on the ground at the international bridge in Del Rio just sent me this video showing the deteriorating situation. Federal source says the number has now increased to 9,300.
It was 8,200 this morning, and about 4,000 yesterday AM.
Mostly Haitians, I’m told. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/e8ftMp4YoQ

Law enforcement sources say there are up to 10,000 more migrants en route to cross illegally into Del Rio. They have been walking across a dam in the Rio Grande all morning long, and they then walk to the international bridge where they are congregating underneath. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/xzAcyglRLB

You can see the massive number of people there. So could other Americans from Fox’s drone coverage. That must have made someone in the Biden team unhappy, so suddenly the FAA told Fox they were banned from flying their drones over the bridge for the next two weeks for a “special security reason.”

NEW: We’ve learned that the FAA just implemented a two week TFR (Temporary Flight Restrictions) over the international bridge in Del Rio, TX, meaning we can no longer fly our FOX drone over it to show images of the thousands of migrants. FAA says “special security reason”. pic.twitter.com/aJrjAPO2Pz

Is the “special security reason” because it might make Joe Biden look worse than he already does?

But Bill Melugin’s a real journalist. He was not going to be put off by that move from the Biden Administration. So he managed to get around that by getting an invite from the Texas DPS to go up in one of their helicopters to take video from the air.

BREAKING: Just wrapped up a helicopter ride with Texas DPS at the international bridge in Del Rio, TX. What we saw was absolutely stunning. There are at least 10,000 migrants under the bridge who crossed illegally, and a constant stream of hundreds more crossing over. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/IADqBzb3qn

You can see the people streaming across from Mexico, using a dam to cross over. The stream of people crossing is continuous, with no CBP or anyone stopping them.

More footage. Major thank you to Texas DPS. When the FAA grounded our drones, DPS was willing to get us in the air to show ongoing deteriorating situation at the bridge. The situation is in Del Rio is completely out of control. @FoxNews pic.twitter.com/8RUXheV8gk

AMAZING — Since the Biden administration has kicked @BillFoxLA and his team out from flying Fox News's drones along the U.S./Mexico border in Del Rio, TX, *local* law enforcement decided to get him a helicopter to hop in and go check things out to continue reporting. pic.twitter.com/pZ54my6E7o

It’s out of control.

.@BillFOXLA on what Joe Biden DOESN’T want you to see: Border Patrol sources “tell me that this situation is ‘out-of-control.’ They need help. They say there aren’t even enough porta-potties or food or anything…It looks like a large refugee camp.” pic.twitter.com/UtCuVGxBpv

.@BillFOXLA: “It is incredible to see this perspective up here. We hear the administration saying the border is closed. There’s extremely progress being made. This doesn’t not look like a closed border…This is hundreds of people streaming in…Pretty remarkable footage.” pic.twitter.com/PgaiE11Nuu

.@BillFOXLA: “We have no idea how long these people are going to be there…This has been happening all morning long…We are not allowed to the drive in…This situation looks like it is going to get worse before it gets better. The stream of people is not stopping.” pic.twitter.com/uO54dkBXH4

.@BillFoxLA Melugin and his crew spot illegal immigrants gathering grass, tree branches, and other brush to make HUTS along a highway overpass.

Melugin also said border agents are “severely outnumbered. They need some serious help…They are insanely frustrated.” pic.twitter.com/LoeIGvZ5LW

.@BillFOXLA: “It’s pretty wild to see this & again, zero action from the Mexican side. It’s incredible, guys…[Y]ou can’t have 11,000 people just sitting and camping out in the open…I know I sound like a broken record…but, guys, this is just remarkable to witness.”

When Melugin got around it and showed the views anyway, getting even more attention because of the effort to shut him down, now the government is apparently going to continue to let them use drones in the future. I guess the “special security reason” went away for the weekend and is now in Rehoboth Beach in Delaware.
