"This situation is also impacting vehicle traffic entering the airport and causing delays on both the arrivals and departures levels. The safety of our employees and passengers remains our top priority. We appreciate your patience and understanding," added MIA.
UPDATE

"The terminals will be reopening shortly. Travelers should continue to expect delays entering the airport. We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation as we work to safely resume normal operations," added the sherrif's office.
