Which is a great point, a lot of their jurisdiction is supposed to end 100 miles in, so what surveillance rights do they have to the interior?
My guess is that the drone is owned by the border patrol but currently used/controlled by a different agency. Like the national guard or police. I.e. border patrol lend it to them.
But this still shows how broken this is because now you have a drone survilence by some agency but people don't know which one and maybe a violation of responsibilities if it's actually operated by the border protection...
