    Another historic blow came on Dec. 22, 2025, when the Trump administration’s Federal Communications Commission announced that all new foreign-made drone models would heretofore be banned from being sold in the United States, on the basis of somewhat vaguely defined security concerns.

    I literally just bought a chinese drone off Amazon 2 weeks ago with no issues. So I doubt how much effect the above actually has. I’ll get right on that registration too… One of these days.

      It applies to UASs, which applies to aircraft’s. Aircraft’s are quite broad by legal definition I think…

      Can we spam register foam gliders as drones?

    What does ICE have to hide? I mean if they are supposedly doing the work the people all voted for and doing it super-legally?

    Seems they want to wear masks and have no one record what they are up to.

    I’m really surprised people haven’t used drones to drop molitovs on ICE.

      Consumer drones don’t have a very large payload.

      Also, carrying anything that’s on fire would probably ruin the drone pretty quickly.
