Senate Passes Two-Year FISA Extension in 60-34 Vote After Deadline
Apr 20, 2024, 01:59 AM
The U.S. Senate has successfully passed a two-year extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), specifically Section 702, just minutes after the midnight deadline, with a final vote of 60-34. This action, facilitated by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, aligns with the House's version of the bill, ensuring that the surveillance program remains operational under a tight deadline. The reauthorization comes amid widespread debate and controversy, with several senators, including Rand Paul and Mike Lee, pushing for amendments to include more stringent warrant requirements to protect Americans' civil liberties. Despite these efforts, the Senate ultimately rejected seven different amendments aimed at reforming FISA 702, leading to criticism that the bill lacks sufficient safeguards for the rights of U.S. citizens.
