A group of Republican lawmakers has given top Trump officials a hard deadline to give them clarity on how they plan to address the presence of drones used by Mexican cartels at the southern border.
In a letter addressed at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and FAA Acting Administrator Chris Rochelau, the lawmakers discuss the threat posed by drones in general, and say that during a recent visit to the border they "heard firsthand from commanders and supervisors on the ground regarding their concern to be able to conduct c-UAS operations should the cartels attempt a drone attack on U.S. service members or federal law enforcement."
