The FAA’s flight restriction for drones is an attempt to criminalize filming ICE (eff.org)

• FAA implements restricted airspace over ICE facilities
• Concerns raised regarding suppression of independent oversight
• Conflict between perimeter security and constitutional press rights

"The FAA has implemented flight restrictions over Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facilities, effectively limiting the use of consumer drones for observation. Civil liberties advocates argue these policies are designed to obstruct independent documentation of government operations. By restricting airspace over sensitive federal locations, the agency aims to bolster site security, yet the action complicates the oversight of public-interest journalism and the monitoring of state detention activities."
