The federal government does not have the authority to take out drones spotted over New York and Jew Jersey, according to the head of the Department of Homeland Security.
Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas says that authorities need to be expanded for DHS and its partners to 'incapacitate' these mystery drones.
It comes after President-elect Donald Trump suggested that the unmanned aircraft be shot down.
'Mystery Drone sightings all over the Country. Can this really be happening without our government's knowledge,' Trump posted on Friday amid outcry over the ongoing mystery.
'I don't think so! Let the public know, and now. Otherwise, shoot them down!!!' the former and future president wrote on his social media site Truth Social.
Asked whether this was a possibility, Mayorkas told ABC News on Sunday that in order to be able to take more action, his agency needs to be given more powers.
'With respect of the ability to incapacitate those drones, we are limited in our authorities,' Mayorkas told This Week host George Stephanopoulos.
'We have certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security that can do that and outside our department,' he added. 'But we need those authorities expanded, as well.'

“Jew Jersey”?
It’s because the drones don’t really exist physically.
because it’s just Drone Hysteria ? LOL
Bingo!
Head of DHS (fall guy) Mayorkas concedes ...We have certain agencies within the Department of Homeland Security that can do that... .
But then he explained he needed more authority from Congress.
Perhaps his boss was reprimanded for shooting down the Chinese "weather balloon" and is now taking the easy way out?

I don’t think we was speaking for DoD.
Moron Mayorkas is the same clown stating for years that the
Southern Border is Secure. He is a very dangerous man in the US Gov’t.
“Mayorkas says that authorities need to be expanded”
Since when has that stopped them.
Uh, how about NO! They have too much power already.
Mayorkas is only Cuban by birth. He left Cuba as an infant and his family is Jewish.
Cubans are one of the few immigrant groups that reliably vote GOP, and heavily broke (~58%) for Trump in 2024.
So...Mayor’s wants MORE authority over citizens? Wait a minute. Is this all a wild psyop to get more power over citizens???
Fricking incredible: “We can’t shoot them down!” response.
Won’t necessarily disagree. This is a DoD task, not DHS.
Shoot ‘em down.
Unless the truth is they are radiation detection drones looking for dirty bombs...or worse...that may have been smuggled into the country.
This is why we have The Second Amendment.
After the Supreme Court ruled in the Trump immunity case, the Democrats were talking like the president could murder citizens if he called it an official. Now, they are saying they can’t even capture an unidentified drone. I’m pretty sure they don’t want to investigate it. I wonder why.

No...likely Cuba, the traitor’s home country.
How what I said wrong?
