flag Brooklyn Navy Yard evicts drone maker Easy Aerial over military ties, sparking political and ethical debate.

flag The Brooklyn Navy Yard Development Corp. has decided not to renew Easy Aerial’s lease, a drone manufacturer linked to Israel’s military operations, citing operational and compliance reasons. flag The move, finalized in January 2026, follows a year-long protest campaign by Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard, which sought to end militarized industry at the public site. flag While the city cited no direct evidence of military use, activists celebrated the eviction as a win against the militarization of public space. flag The decision sparked political backlash, with pro-Israel officials accusing Mayor Zohran Mamdani of antisemitism, though the BNY denied political motives. flag The eviction reflects ongoing national debates over public resources and military-linked industry.
