Report finds Border Patrol flew drones away from US borders

The US Customs and Border Protection flew drones, similar to the ones used to carry out extrajudicial assassinations in Yemen and Pakistan, away from US border areas for more than 1700 hours since 2011, according to an internal investigation by the Department of Homeland Security released last week.
The report comes after the revelation earlier this year that US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) frequently “loans” its drone fleet out to other agencies for surveillance away from US border areas, and has done so more than 700 times.
