Senate Faces FISA Reauthorization Deadline
The House of Representatives has moved a measure regarding FISA 702 surveillance to the Senate. The government states intelligence collected under this authority underpins a portion of the president's daily intelligence briefings. Reformers from both parties have expressed concerns regarding the government's review of private information of U.S. citizens. The Senate must act on the measure by Thursday night to prevent a potential legal morass if the law expires. Intelligence collected under FISA 702 underpins a share of the president's operations, according to the report. The House has approved a three-year reauthorization of the surveillance program ahead of its expiration this Thursday at midnight. A key provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire tomorrow.
