WASHINGTON: U.S. Customs and Border Protection have received 8 million dollars in federal funding to keep its UAS facility in Grand Forks.
However, it is still up in the air whether they will stay at the Grand Forks Air Force Base or move over to Grand Sky. Some think that keeping the facility in Grand Forks rather than moving it will allow for better security along the northern border. Customs and Border Protection monitors 900 miles of border locally, from the Great Lakes to Montana.
