Legally cannot on US citizens. We werent even allowed to use drones to help civilian search and rescue missions due to fears of being accused of spying on citizens. This was in 2015.
That’s a little misleading, if the American government wants to do some surveillance on its citizens using military resources he can do so via partnership with the CIA and the NSA or any other domestic agency that has the authority to do it.
The CIA and the NSA or whatever civilian agency will make the actual program and then “use” (let) military resources do their thing.
