In a letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the weekend, New York Senator Chuck Schumer called for answers regarding the mysterious drones that have been spotted in the skies over New York and New Jersey areas.

Schumer wants “special drone-detection” to get to the bottom of it.

“I’m pushing for answers amid these drone sightings,” Schumer said on X. “I’m calling for [Mayorkas] to deploy special drone-detection tech across” New York and New Jersey.

In a letter to Mayorkas, Schumer suggested “drone-specific radar like the ROBIN” given how there have been sightings near “vulnerable sites such as airports and critical infrastructure.”

Schumer also made his plea during a recent televised appearance.

Mayorkas appeared on This Week over the weekend in an attempt to do damage control over the very obvious national security threat.

“We, in the federal government, have deployed additional resources, personnel, technology, to assist the New Jersey State Police in addressing the drone sightings,” Mayorkas said.

DHS also sent New Jersey State Police a “drone-specific radar that also cues a highly capable EO/IR, or electro-optical infrared camera system,” an official told reporters in a call.

“If the radar detects a drone, the camera will be able to identify and track it,” the official said, adding, “This is extremely helpful for drones without a standard radio frequency signal.”
