U.S. Departments Issue Temporary Drone Flight Restrictions Along Southern Border

The Departments of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation, and Defense have issued a joint statement announcing temporary flight restrictions (TFR) for drones along the U.S. southern border. This coordinated effort aims to strengthen airspace security, prohibiting unauthorized drone activity up to 400 feet above ground level within one nautical mile north of the U.S.-Mexico border as of Friday. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated that this action will help counter cartel drone threats and protect personnel.
