Sens. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) and Gary Peters (D-Mich.) raised concerns in Dec. 18 letters over the use of drones made by DJI, a Chinese company, in homeland security and national security facilities by construction companies contracted by the U.S. government.

The lawmakers wrote to construction companies Hensel Phelps, Brasfield & Gorrie, and Bechtel, which hold such contracts. Hensel Phelps has constructed nuclear weapons facilities and ports. Brasfield & Gorrie has constructed U.S. military bases and ports. Bechtel has constructed nuclear weapons labs and missile bases.
