The Federal Aviation Administration has imposed new drone flight restrictions creating no-fly zones around Department of Homeland Security facilities and mobile assets, a move that extends aviation security rules traditionally reserved for military bases to immigration enforcement operations across the country.
According to a notice to airmen published by the FAA, the restrictions prohibit drone flights within 3,000 feet horizontally and up to 1,000 feet vertically of DHS facilities, vehicles, vessels, and convoys.
