The Los Angeles City Council is considering whether to support a bill that would ban surveillance drones. The bill was introduced after the Department of Homeland Security deployed a drone over the city during recent protests against immigration raids. Rep. Jimmy Gomez, D-Los Angeles, introduced the legislation. The legislation would prohibit federal agencies from using military drones for surveillance of people protesting.

City Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez introduced a resolution Wednesday in support of the legislation. If approved by the City Council, the resolution would be added the city's 2025-26 federal legislative program - formally establishing Los Angeles' support for the bill known as "Ban Military Drones Spying on Civilians Act."
