The US Department of Agriculture could deploy DHS drones equipped with AI over millions of acres in Texas in efforts to combat the invasive New World screwworm posing a threat to livestock, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said this week.
Rollins made the remarks during a press conference at a South Texas ranch about 50 miles from the Mexican border, where screwworm larvae were recently discovered in a 3-week-old calf, marking the first confirmed case in the US since 1966.
“I have Dr. Sean Conley here… from the Department of Homeland Security. We talked yesterday about using their drones and perhaps, through very quick innovation, having an artificial intelligence piece of this where you put AI on the drones that they can fly across all of our millions of acres of wildlife in this state,” Rollins said.
“That’s something we need to be solving for and preparing for as well,” she added.
It’s unclear where the drones would be deployed or whether private farmland would be included in scans; however, the prospect of AI-enabled drones operating over Texas was quickly rejected by privacy advocates.
“What I’m hearing is, ‘This is a perfect excuse to normalize AI surveillance with drones all over Texas,'” commented journalist Maria Zeee.
Alex Jones Live has reached out to the USDA and DHS for clarification regarding Rollins’ remarks.
Testifying before the Senate Agriculture Committee earlier this week, Rollins also discussed how the USDA is planning to release hundreds of millions of sterile male flies into the wild in order to help suppress the spread of the screwworm.
While the UDSA appears to be mounting an aggressive response, a government website dedicated to the screwworm stresses that “This is not a food safety issue—the U.S. food supply remains safe.”
“The current risk to animals and people in the United States is very low,” according to the site.

Cheap Chinese shit running AI slop flying over Texas while controlled by literal retards 🤡🌎 What could go wrong?
What’s next? Humans? If they can find a maggot from a couple hundred feet in the air with a DJI drone, then they have capabilities in law enforcement that we don’t know about.
Sure they do and have had for a long time. What do the people of Texas have to hide, the tax assessors office has been spying on peoples property for a long time. God forbid you lay a slab of cement or add a shed to your property. Drones are efficient and can be used for good as well as evil and there is no turning back. If your daughter or son were dragged off into the night and is missing, a drone that could detect his body in the desert would be a God send.
Do you remember 25 years ago, when all the sheep in England had to be euthanized? Our food supply is important. Where did the infamous screw worm come from? We buy beef from Argentina, maybe that’s why it cost $20.00 a pound these days. A t-bone steak was $2.40 a pound in 1992.
