Episode Synopsis

A California lawmaker has filed a bill to ban the use of military drones to monitor demonstrators in the U.S. following protests in Los Angeles during the summer.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the government in June deployed MQ-9 Predator drones to monitor the protests that followed the deployment of National Guard troops to the city.
In this episode of Border Report Live, correspondent Julian examines how border officials have and continue to use drones along the border. The National Guard, which has been deployed to the Texas-Mexico border for years, often uses drones as part of its border mission.
