White House presses for Congress to provide more authority to address drones in U.S. airspace

Washington The White House wants Congress to enact legislation that would give the federal, state, and local governments more ability to deal with drones that fly in U.S. airspace, as public anxiety over drones operating in the skies over New Jersey and other East Coast states has grown.

Indiana prepares for its first execution in 15 years in process scrutinized for its secrecy

Before sunrise on Wednesday, Indiana will carry out its first execution since 2009, with a large portion of the procedure being kept secret from the public.
