US to Deploy Predator Drones Along Texas-Mexico Border

Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano has confirmed plans for the United States to deploy unmanned Predator drones to patrol the US-Mexico border in Texas. The United States currently has four drones patrolling the border with Mexico in Arizona and one in the northern border with Canada in the state of North Dakota. Napolitano made the announcement during a speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

Janet Napolitano: "I’m also proud to announce today that the Federal Aviation Administration has approved the use of CBP unmanned aircraft system flights along the Texas border and in the Gulf region...These types of flights aren’t useful everywhere, but in some places they’re part of the right mix of infrastructure, manpower and technology that improves border security."

Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano also unveiled new plans to increase government surveillance along the border by developing a system to begin photographing the license plates of every vehicle.

Janet Napolitano: "We’re partnering with the Office of National Drug Control Policy to implement Project Roadrunner, an automated license-plate recognition system. Project Roadrunner was conceived to target both north- and southbound drug trafficking and associated illegal activity along the Southwest border."

Timeline of BP Oil Disaster

A Timeline of the BP Oil Spill Crisis [Pics]

The BP Oil Spill is shaping up to be the biggest black swan in a while. In case you missed the details, here is the Cheat Sheet:

April 20: Transocean’s (NYSE: RIG) Deepwater Horizon drilling rig explodes off Louisiana coast. The Coast Guard responds with a search-and-rescue mission. More than 100 workers are rescued. Eleven workers missing and presumed dead.

April 21: Deputy Interior Secretary David Hayes is dispatched to the Gulf to coordinate the government’s response.

April 22: The rig sinks. President Obama briefed in the Oval Office by members of his Cabinet and other advisers, including Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and economic adviser Larry Summers. The government is monitoring the spill, but the focus is still largely search and rescue.

April 23: Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry says no oil appears to be leaking from the undersea wellhead or at the water’s surface.

April 24: Leak reported; oil is estimated to be leaking at the rate of 1,000 barrels a day.

April 29: Coast Guard says leak may be five times greater than earlier estimate: 5,000 barrels a day. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declares state of emergency. Napolitano declares this a “spill of national significance,” allowing additional resources to flow to the Gulf from around the country.

April 30: Napolitano and Salazar visit the Gulf region. Obama says he continues to believe in increased domestic oil production but adds it must be done “responsibly” to protect both workers and environment.

May 1: Allen, the Coast Guard commandant, is named national incident commander.

May 2: Obama visits Coast Guard station in Venice, La. Federal government bans fishing for at least 10 days in a large swath of the Gulf between the mouth of the Mississippi River and Pensacola Bay.

May 3: BP CEO Tony Hayward tells NPR his company will pay for the cleanup and any “legitimate” legal claims.
