The FAAs Temporary Flight Restriction for Drones is a Blatant Attempt to Criminalize Filming ICE
The Trump administration has restricted the First Amendment right to record law enforcement by issuing an unprecedented nationwide flight restriction preventing private drone operators, including professional and citizen journalists, from flying drones within half a mile of any ICE or CBP vehicle.
