US Government Seeks Geofence Warrant Data from Google
US spy agencies collect data on approximately 350,000 foreigners located outside the US each year without requiring a warrant. Republicans are divided on whether warrants should be necessary for such data collection. The US government collects the calls, texts, and emails of approximately 350,000 foreigners outside the US annually under the Intelligence Surveillance Act. Federal law enforcement can search this database for information on Americans without a warrant, a practice that divides Republicans and is questioned by many Democrats. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reportedly collecting data on foreigners without a warrant. Some immigration enforcement teams are opting for a slower, one-party approach to fund the agency. President Trump has set a June 1st deadline for these changes. The Capitol Police investigated approximately 14,000 threats against lawmakers last year.

Republicans are split over whether they should need that. Many Democrats also think they should. But a lot of folks have found themselves on all sides of this issue too, ba”
