New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Saturday that drone activity had led to the closure of runways at Stewart Airfield Friday night. She called on the Biden administration to direct federal law enforcement to her state.

A large number of mysterious drones have been reported flying over parts of New Jersey and the East Coast in recent weeks, sparking speculation and concern over who sent them and why.
