Guest-authored bill barring DHS from using drones made by foreign adversaries passes House
SUMMARY: The U.S. House of Representatives has passed a bill that would prohibit the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from using drones made in countries designated as foreign adversaries, amid threats from China. The bill, called the Unmanned Aerial Security Act, aims to mitigate security risks by ensuring that drones used by the DHS are not manufactured by countries like China, who have been known to steal American technology and information. Lawmakers are growing increasingly concerned about foreign adversaries spying on America, and the bill will now move to the Senate for consideration.
