Congresswoman Zoldgren, a Democrat from California, argued that the government must obtain warrants to search private communications to protect constitutional rights. The bill aims to address a reduction in queries from 278,000 to 127, noting many previous issues were due to clerical errors. The Republican-controlled House of Representatives has approved a three-year extension for a key U.S. The measure follows weeks of internal political infighting.
