TLDR: one part of the US government didn't bother to inform another part of the US government what was going on.

They informed the ATC. One would assume that's the ideal mediary for this sort of thing.

Jumpers to ATC: "Hey, we're going here to jump here."

Capitol to ATC: "Hey, who's that and where are they going?"
