A heated argument has broken out in the nation’s capital after reports that the Trump administration used military-grade drones, specifically MQ-9 Reapers, to watch over protests in the U.S. This move has made many House Democrats very upset, as they see it as a misuse of government power and a threat to people’s rights under the Constitution.
The issue started when the Department of Homeland Security reportedly used these high-tech drones to keep an eye on protests in Los Angeles earlier this year. Some of these protests turned violent after they began as a reaction to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations targeting undocumented immigrants in mostly Hispanic and Latino neighborhoods in the Southern California city.
