BREAKING: The House Judiciary Committee has introduced legislation to reform FISA which would end warrantless surveillance of Americans.
The measure would restrict the number of FBI personnel who could conduct searches under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and impose a requirement that law enforcement obtain a warrant to examine information on Americans.
FISA's Section 702 permits the warrantless surveillance of foreigner's abroad, a process which has resulted in the accumulation of communications from Americans with whom the subjects engage. The surveillance tool has dealt with scrutiny for illegally surveilling Americans.
Section 702 is slated to expire at the end of the year and the legislation is likely to spark significant debate in Congress in the few remaining weeks of 2023.
