The Southern Border No-Fly Zone: A Dangerous Precedent in the Militarization of American Airspace
The Trump administration, led by the FAA, DHS, and the Pentagon, has instituted a one-nautical-mile, 400-foot-high 'national defense airspace' no-fly zone for unauthorized drones along the entire southern border.
