House Approves 45-Day Extension Of Section 702
The US House of Representatives approved a renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) on Tuesday. This agreement follows a period of negotiation between the two parties. The shutdown had previously resulted in long lines at airports, according to the report. The bill follows recent House actions to secure departmental funding. The Department of Homeland Security shutdown has lasted two and a half months, which is the longest shutdown for a federal department in U.S. The intelligence tool was set to expire at the end of the day on April 30. The extension provides a temporary window for the ongoing reconciliation process, which could reach approval by June. Speaker Johnson reportedly persuaded House conservatives to support the measure despite controversy surrounding the bill. The funding does not include money for immigration enforcement agencies, specifically U.S.
