Schumer calls for Mayorkas to 'deploy special drone-detection tech' in New York, New Jersey

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) called for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas to “deploy special drone-detection” technology in New York and New Jersey.

“I’m pushing for answers amid these drone sightings,” Schumer posted on the social platform X. “I’m calling for @SecMayorkas to deploy special drone-detection tech across NY and NJ.”

Schumer said he was working to pass a bill in the Senate that would give local law enforcement more tools for detecting drones.
