电子前沿基金会与美国公民自由联盟及其他民权和摄影专业组织联合向美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院提交法庭意见书，要求撤销美国联邦航空管理局发布的无人机飞行限制令1。该限制令禁止无人机在距离超过半英里的地点记录国土安全部官员及其车辆，实际上对涉及移民与海关执法局和边境巡逻队特工的记录活动施加了限制1。
诉讼方和支持者主张这一限制令构成基于内容的言论审查，应按照第一修正案最严格的法律标准进行审查1。法庭意见书指出，无人机提供了地面摄像机无法获得的独特视角，已被用于记录抗议活动、警察执法和自然灾害1。虽然联邦航空管理局在无人机操作员于3月提起诉讼后于4月撤销了该限制令，但支持者认为法院应继续审议其合法性，防止该限制令在未来被重新实施1。
Civil liberties organizations have filed a court brief urging the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to invalidate a Federal Aviation Administration drone flight restriction that effectively prohibited the recording of Department of Homeland Security personnel, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents.1 The Electronic Frontier Foundation, American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU of the District of Columbia, National Press Photographers Association, and Professional Photographers of America jointly submitted the brief arguing that the FAA's restriction constituted content-based speech suppression subject to strict First Amendment scrutiny.1
The restriction barred drone operations from recording DHS officials and their vehicles from distances beyond half a mile.1 A drone operator challenged the order in March, and the FAA rescinded it in April following the lawsuit.1 However, the civil rights groups contend that judicial review remains necessary to prevent its potential reinstatement.1 The organizations emphasized in their brief that drones provide unique aerial perspectives unavailable to ground-based cameras and have been instrumental in documenting protests, police enforcement actions, and natural disasters.1
