The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned of an increasing influx of China-manufactured devices that block phone calls and other radio signals being smuggled into the United States.

“Signal jammers have been used by illegal aliens across the country to jam communications during police operations, bank robberies, burglaries, and other dangerous crimes,” a DHS spokesperson said in a June 18 statement.
