FBI searches for Americans’ information collected under a warrantless surveillance program declined significantly over the past year, according to a government report.
A judge and a Justice Department inspector general report had accused the FBI of abusing its authority under the Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act .
Section 702 allows government agencies to collect messages of foreigners overseas, including when they communicate with U.S. citizens. The program permits intelligence agencies and the FBI to search the archive of intercepted messages using Americans’ names, phone numbers or email addresses, even though the information was gathered without a warrant.
“Without additional safeguards, a clean reauthorization of 702 is a non-starter,” the lawmakers said in a joint statement. “The transparency report released today provides strong evidence that the reforms already put in place, particularly at FBI, are having the intended effects. Congress’ task will be to build on that success and put in place additional safeguards to ensure this critical tool is used appropriately and in a way that protects our national security, our safety, and our civil liberties,” Himes said.
