Only those DJI drones that are used for critical operations and public safety have survived the ban.

On Thursday, Chinese drone maker DJI stated, the U.S. Department of Interior has grounded all non-emergency Chinese-made or part-made drones as part of a review of its entire drone program.

Shenzhen-based DJI has confirmed that that the department has indeed grounded all of its drone models other than those which are used for critical operations and public safety.
