The controversial program lets intelligence agencies spy on foreigners without a warrant.
The House will soon vote on the reauthorization of a controversial surveillance program ahead of its expiration in nine days. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is set to expire on April 19th, lets US intelligence agencies spy on foreign communications without a warrant — sometimes ensnaring US citizens as well. Previous negotiations over the FISA reauthorization grew so heated that in February, House Speaker Mike Johnson withdrew the bill from consideration.
Trump posted on Truth Social. When the reauthorization was up for a vote in February, some House Republicans described the privacy amendments as nonnegotiable. “We have to have these amendments,” Rep. Jim Jordan , the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, told Politico in February. “Like, there’s no way we’re not going to have them.” Section 702 was last renewed in 2018.
