The U.S. Secret Service and the FBI have both purchased drones from a Chinese manufacturer that the Department of Homeland Security previously warned could be “providing U.S. critical infrastructure and law enforcement data to the Chinese government.”
According to procurement records obtained by Axios and first reported on Tuesday, the U.S. Secret Service bought eight new DJI drones in July 2021. Further purchase records show the FBI also procured 19 of the Chinese-made DJI drones.
Concerns about the Shenzhen-based drone manufacturer have persisted for years. In the summer of 2017, the Department of Homeland Security assessed with a “moderate confidence” that DJI drones were relaying critical infrastructure and law enforcement data back to the Chinese government.
