DHS Black Hawks and Military Aircraft Surveil the LA Protests | Local police, state authorities, DHS, and the military all flew aircraft over the Los Angeles protests this weekend, according to flight path data.


Local police, state authorities, DHS, and the military all flew aircraft over the Los Angeles protests this weekend, according to flight path data.

Over the weekend in Los Angeles, as National Guard troops deployed into the city, cops shot a journalist with less-lethal rounds, and Waymo cars burned, the skies were bustling with activity. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) flew Black Hawk helicopters; multiple aircraft from a nearby military air base circled repeatedly overhead; and one aircraft flew at an altitude and in a particular pattern consistent with a high-powered surveillance drone, according to public flight data reviewed by 404 Media. The protests started on Friday in response to an ICE raid at a Home Depot; those tensions flared when President Trump ordered the National Guard to deploy into the city.
