"Since mid-November, New York has been carefully monitoring reports of drone activity and we have been communicating closely with our federal partners," Hochul said. "I've spoken with Secretary Mayorkas multiple times and was just informed that he has coordinated with federal partners and the FAA plans to grant temporary flight restrictions over some of New York's critical infrastructure sites - this action is purely precautionary; there are no threats to these sites."
The FAA also barred drone operations over large and significantly populated areas of New Jersey through Jan. 17 and warned that the government may respond with "deadly force" against drones that pose a threat. Drone pilots who breach the restricted airspace could have their drones intercepted and be 'detained and interviewed by law enforcement/security personnel.'
