The US military mistakenly shot down a Customs and Border Protection drone near the Mexican border using a high-energy laser system without coordinating with the Federal Aviation Administration or notifying CBP operators. The incident marks the second laser strike in weeks and has prompted Democratic lawmakers to criticize the Trump administration for failing to implement proper coordination protocols between the Pentagon, CBP, and FAA.
