DHS Defunds and Shuts Down Surveillance Blimps at Border

DHS shuts down surveillance blimps at border | The Department of Homeland Security is cutting funds for a program that uses surveillance blimps along the southern border. Border agents say they are critical for catching so-called "gotaways," people who cross into the U.S. illegally and evade detection by border patrols. Some lawmakers want the program brought back amid concern over undocumented crossings.
