司法记者大卫·斯庞特报道针对白宫UFC赛事的疑似恐怖袭击阴谋最新逮捕进展。包括据称主谋亚伯拉罕·埃尔莫西略·阿尔瓦雷斯在内的六名嫌疑人已被拘留。该阴谋涉及搭载爆炸物的无人机,以及预先部署的狙击手小队,目标是华盛顿特区的人群和政治人物。
来自北卡罗来纳州的共和党众议员帕特·哈里根,任职于众议院军事委员会关键小组委员会,正带头推动逐步淘汰美国执法部门使用的中国制造无人机。
“在美国,我们任由中国主导了全球大部分无人机市场,而美国各机构仍在依赖与中国共产党有关联企业生产的系统,”哈里根在给福克斯新闻数字频道的一份声明中表示。
“这是一个战略性错误,”他继续说道。
这项名为《2026年美国无人机制造主导法案》的法案,将为国内执法部门提供一个过渡方案,以处理其目前可能使用的任何中国制造无人机。该法案还进一步落实了共和党人在敏感领域逐步摆脱中国制造业和供应链的立法举措。法案还规定,2027年1月1日之后,联邦拨款将以不采购外国制造无人机为前提条件。

按照目前的法案文本,该法案将通过特朗普的第301条关税拨款15亿美元联邦资金,以加快移除中国制造无人机,并补贴具备国防应用的国内无人机制造业基地。
哈里根表示,鉴于无人机在海外冲突中的使用以及其日益复杂的性能,无人机已成为一个明确的安全问题。
“乌克兰战争给我们最明确的教训之一是,无人机不再是一种小众能力;它们已经成为现代战争的基础组成部分,”哈里根说。
美国几乎所有主要城市都已实施无人机使用限制。例如,在华盛顿特区,由于管控高度受限空域的联邦特殊飞行规则区域(SFRA),无人机完全被禁止使用。
即便如此,近年来无人机的使用量仍在攀升——尤其是在边境安全领域,其快速机动能力让边境特工能够监控大片区域。

2020年,时任美国边境巡逻队局长罗德尼·斯科特撰写的一份内部备忘录表明,美国海关与边境保护局(CBP)打算大幅扩大无人机的使用。
“这些无人技术将实现当前CBP技术能力无法实现的探测、响应和拦截效率水平,”备忘录中写道。
地方执法部门也使用无人机,但依赖大疆创新(DJI)等中国制造商。例如在得克萨斯州,美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)得克萨斯分局……(原文此处重复)美国联邦航空管理局(FAA)表示,2024年该孤星州登记在警察和警长部门名下的966架无人机中,有879架是大疆生产的。
哈里根认为,无人机的使用不会消失。但即便其使用范围扩大,他认为议员们应该通过美国本土制造业优先保障美国安全。

“如果无人机要在国家安全、公共安全和关键基础设施中发挥核心作用,美国必须能够在本土生产它们,”哈里根说。
目前尚不清楚哈里根的法案何时会提交至美国众议院全院进行审议。

Chinese drone monopoly put on notice amid concerns over CCP spying: ‘Strategic mistake’

Rep Pat Harrigan slams Chinese-manufactured drones, says ‘America needs to be able to build them here at home’

Justice Correspondent David Spunt reports on the latest arrest in an alleged terror plot targeting the White House UFC event. Six suspects are now in custody, including alleged ringleader Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez. The plot involved drones with explosives and a pre-staged sniper team to target crowds and political figures in Washington D.C.
Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., who serves on crucial subcommittees of the House Armed Services Committee, is leading a charge to phase out Chinese-manufactured drones from use in U.S. law enforcement.
“Here in the United States, we’ve allowed China to dominate much of the global drone market while American agencies continue relying on systems built by companies tied to the Chinese Communist Party,” Harrigan said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“That’s a strategic mistake,” he continued.
The bill, titled the American Drone Manufacturing Dominance Act of 2026, would offer domestic law enforcement an off-ramp for whatever Chinese-made drones they might be currently using. It also furthers legislative ways in which Republicans have sought to step away from Chinese manufacturing and supply in sensitive areas. It also makes federal grant funding conditional on not acquiring any foreign-made drones after Jan. 1, 2027.

In its current form, the bill sets aside $1.5 billion in federal funding, funded through Trump’s Section 301 tariffs, to accelerate the removal of Chinese-made drones and would subsidize a domestic drone manufacturing base with defense applications.
Harrigan said drones have become a clear security issue in light of their use in overseas conflicts and their growing sophistication.
“One of the clearest lessons from Ukraine is that drones are no longer a niche capability; they’re a foundational part of modern warfare,” Harrigan said.
Almost all major U.S. cities have implemented restrictions on the use of drones. In Washington, D.C., for instance, drones are completely banned from use due to the federal Special Flight Rules Area (SFRA) that governs highly restricted airspace.
Even so, their use has climbed in recent years — especially in border security, where their fast-moving capabilities have allowed border agents to monitor wide swaths of land.

In 2020, an internal memorandum authored by then U.S. Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott signaled CBP’s intent to significantly expand their use.
“These unmanned technologies will achieve levels of detection, response and interdiction efficiencies not realized by current CBP technological capabilities,” the memorandum states.
Local law enforcement also uses drones, but is reliant on Chinese manufacturers like Da Jiang Innovations (DJI). In Texas, for instance, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Texas, for instance. The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) said that of the 966 drones registered to police and sheriff’s departments in the Lone Star State in 2024, 879 were produced by DJI.
Harrigan believes drone use isn’t going away. But even as their use expands, he believes lawmakers should prioritize American safety through U.S. manufacturing.

“If drones are going to play a central role in national security, public safety, and critical infrastructure, America needs to be able to build them here at home,” Harrigan said.
It’s unclear when Harrigan’s bill would reach the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives for consideration.
