On Thursday's MSNBC broadcast of “The Andrea Mitchell Report,” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said she was “extremely disappointed in the response from the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, and the FAA to my request for answers.” I'm dissatisfied,” he said. Drones in the New Jersey area.
Gillibrand began by saying, “We know almost nothing about these drones, and that's the problem.” We don't know who is sending them, who is controlling them, whether they are spying on them or targeting them for future actions. We have no idea what these drones are for, who is piloting them, and whether they are putting Americans at risk. ”
She added, “My letter to the FAA, the Department of Homeland Security, and the FBI asks, what are you doing, are you going to track the drones to find out where they're coming from?” ” If there are ships launching drones offshore, we need to know if they are foreign adversaries and who is controlling those ships. Andrea, we know that Iran, China and Russia have very advanced drone capabilities. We have seen drones being used as weapons of war in Ukraine. These are the reasons why I'm so concerned about the response of the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI, the FAA to my request that we need to get answers and we need to know where these drones are coming from. That's why I'm very dissatisfied. You can't simply say, “They're not doing any harm.” Well, do we know that? what are they doing? So, who is sending it? ”
