US Spy Agency Collects Foreigner Data Without Warrant
The US government collects calls, texts, and emails of nearly 350,000 foreigners outside the US annually. Spies do not require a court order or warrant for this data collection as the individuals are not American. Thousands of times a year, US agencies access Americans' information within this database without a warrant. Republicans are divided on whether warrants should be required, with many Democrats also supporting the idea.
