House Homeland Security Committee Chair Mark Green (R-Tenn.) plans to prioritize a bill that would allow local authorities to shoot down mysterious drones, The Hill reported.
“We know that Chinese nationals have operated drones inside of our country,” Green posted on X. “We still need transparency on this issue, and we’re not getting it. My Counter-UAS Authority Security, Safety and Reauthorization Act that grants authority to local and state law enforcement to take down drones needs to be passed.”
The Biden administration has been criticized in recent months amid sightings of unknown drones, particularly in the Northeast.
