House GOP leadership releases three-year FISA Section 702 reauthorization bill without warrant requirement
House Republican leadership unveiled a three-year extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on Thursday, ahead of its April 30 expiration. The bill includes additional oversight measures and audits but does not include a warrant requirement for searches of Americans' communications, a demand made by conservative and progressive privacy advocates. Speaker Mike Johnson faces opposition from House Freedom Caucus members who have insisted on warrant requirements and other reforms.
