Weird how they’re pulling all the stops to keep from being filmed. Almost like they want to hide what they’re doing from scrutiny. Wonder why that might be… 🤔

Thanks for sharing our story. More context from us here:
The Federal Aviation Administration [put a drone no fly zone](https://tfr.faa.gov/tfr3/?page=detail_6_4375&ref=404media.co) within 3,000 feet of “Department of Homeland Security facilities and mobile assets,” according to a notice to airmen posted by the government. The no fly zone is the same type that the U.S. uses to restrict consumer drones over military bases and Department of Energy (DOE) research centers and facilities. The order appears to attempt to criminalize the use of drones to film Immigration and Customs Enforcement and DHS employees who are detaining people all over the country.
The order is particularly notable because it does not apply just to static locations like DHS offices, but also to “vessels and ground vehicle convoys and their associated escorts.” The notice classifies areas within 3,000 feet horizontally and up to 1,000 feet of altitude as no fly zones and as “national defense airspace,” meaning the skies up to a half mile from ICE vehicles in Minneapolis, for example, could fall under this new jurisdiction. The notice states that people who violate the restrictions can be charged criminally, could face civil penalties, and may lose their authority to fly drones in the future.
With the rise of cheap consumer drones, some activists and protesters have used them to film law enforcement and to document police abuse. This no fly zone criminalizes that activity, further cracking down on the tactics protesters can use to keep people safe or film ICE brutality. It is unclear whether any specific incident led DHS to push for the no fly zone. DHS and the FAA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Why can’t law enforcement be viewed? It’s not like these are undercover agents in a sting. They are government agents in public in uniform. How does the public not have a right to view their actions?

No fly zones are trackable using publicly available free apps. The government required this for drone pilots. If this is true then you can now track ICE using any of the standardized flight approval apps any recreational or commercial drone pilot would use to check restrictions / get approval with.

Just wondering if anyone makes helium filled balloons that look like drones. It’d be fun to watch them try to take down decoys.

Who cares?
The people there are talking about stopping using the ballot box and to start using the bullet box.
They keep up tbe pressure and execute another person or two They’ll probably have a drone problem allright 🤣, but they’ll have a little more than cameras on them 🤣.

So I’m guessing that we could infer that ICE is in a certain area judging by the probably constantly shifting no-fly zones on these maps.

Why doesn’t ICE just behave in a manner they can be proud of?
ICE is violating the law and the constitution. They are avoiding and destroying evidence that will be used in their prosecution when Trump and the Republican Congress are no longer in charge.

A legitimate law enforcement agency (and government) doesn’t need to hide what they’re doing from the world.

Can’t film them with drones? Look at them through „optics“
