The U.S. military flies back and forth over the Tohono O'odham Nation after armed and masked federal agents seized control of the sovereign Tohono O'odham Nation for border wall construction. The military now says it is using weaponized drones, loaded with directed energy lasers, along the border to take out enemy cartel drones. However, those weaponized drones took out a US Border Patrol drone, and a party balloon, by mistake, causing the FAA to shut down the airspace over El Paso twice.

Censored News is tracking the trackers, the aircrafts over the Tohono O'odham Nation, as shown below.


(Above) Tuesday's view of the aircraft we're following. The US military says it's a weaponized drone fighting off enemy cartel drones and it's disabling them with directed energy lasers. However, the drone fighters have already shot down a US Border Patrol drone and party balloon by mistake, shutting down El Paso airspace twice. This one is out of the Army's Fort Huachuca, southeast of Tucson, and flies over the Tohono Oodham Nation border.
