Update: It now seems possible that the "cartel drones" may have actually been party balloons.

Rumor I heard is that the military is planning to start testing some counter drone system, and in discussions with FAA, they couldn't promise that civilian flights would be safe, so FAA pulled out the big gun.
It sounds like this counter drone system would only be for use on drones that cross the river into us airspace, but I'm not sure of that.
For reference, the US has operated an Air Defense Identification Zone for a long time, that covers Mexican airspace near the border. The air force tries to identify, track, and sometimes intercept all air traffic in the ADIZ. Civilian air traffic is supposed to be on a filed flight plan, in communication with ATC, and have an assigned four digit transponder code. Failure to do so may result in interception by scrambled aircraft.
I would imagine that "cartel drones" in or around Juarez would not be doing the above. But there may also be too many of them to economically intercept with F15s.
The job of a lawyer is to persuade powerful people that he is right.

this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,
That's, uh, not why DoD occasionally sends officers to Harvard and other elite universities. DoD does this because they want some of their officers to have high quality advanced degrees.
I've heard that Trump was too scared to say the line to people's face, so he pre-recorded it.
Also, the man is not his son.
Update: the government fired the attorney the next day, so she can at least get some sleep.

By using quantum sensor-driven magnetic navigation
So, like a compass? "Quantum" probably means they're using a (pretty new) solid state optical sensing mechanism. Remember, everything is "quantum" inside a silicon wafer.
Meanwhile, MEMS magnetometers have been standard in commercial AHRS equipment for quite a while, and it's pretty standard to integrate the data into a navigational solution with other sensors.
As far as I can tell, this man is guilty of allowing people to use his bathroom if they ask nicely.
While sitting for a deposition in a defamation lawsuit that she filed, Laura Loomer was asked to explain under oath what she meant by the phrase "Arby's in her pants" (which she earlier penned in a tweet).
