... El Paso International Airport issued a travel advisory on social media saying that all flights to and from the airport had been grounded, including commercial, cargo and general aviation. It told travelers to contact their airlines for the latest status of their flights.

The airport said in a statement that the restriction had been issued “on short notice” and that it was waiting for additional guidance from the F.A.A.

The F.A.A. did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

It's the Trump administration, so my first reaction is that someone in or around El Paso said something unflattering about Donald Trump, and he's striking back.

But nothing's more frightening than the lunacy and danger of the Trump administration in any situation where there might actually be something to be concerned about...
