"House and Senate Clash Over FISA Renewal and Surveillance Bill Modifications"
The House of Representatives passed a bill to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) without adding a warrant mandate for US data, but it faces opposition from House Freedom Caucus conservatives and their allies. The bill's passage was followed by a procedural measure objection and now requires a vote on whether to reconsider its passage. The legislation aims to reform FISA Section 702, which allows the government to surveil foreigners abroad with suspected terror links without a warrant, and has sparked debate between privacy and national security concerns.
