       The FAA quietly imposed a nationwide drone restriction that prevents filming ICE and other federal agents within half a mile. It’s an attack on the First Amendment. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/faas-temporary-flight-restriction-drones-blatant-attempt-criminalize-filming-ice

       @eff Just out of curiosity, how does a drone operator comply with this restriction if they don't publish the precise location of every "ICE and CBP vehicle"? If a drone was being used, for example, to inspect my roof, how would the operator know that an ICE vehicle was driving down the freeway less than 1/2 mile away?

       @eff Well since the president doesn't have to follow he rules why should anybody else!

       @eff - So restrictions against freedom of the press, but how would the press know the locations, if the locations aren't announced? Half a mile seems pretty far...why not 1/4 mile and immediately "above" them?
