Attorneys General Demand Action

A coalition of over 20 state attorneys general urged the administration of U.S. President Donald Trump to grant states authority to curb prison drone contraband.
Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr said drones frequently deliver drugs and weapons to prisons.
In 2025, Georgia logged 500 drone incidents and seized 1,200 cellphones.
Officials say federal restrictions hinder action and call for clearer guidelines before contraband arrives, ahead of 2026 FIFA World Cup.
