The House and Senate approved a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act early Friday, moving the program’s expiration from April 20 to April 30 after longer renewal plans stalled amid divisions among House Republicans. President Donald Trump signed the extension on Saturday, setting up another high-stakes fight ahead of the new deadline.
Following a prior 10-day extension, Congress passed a 45-day clean reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, as approved by Senate Majority Leader John Thune. The measure came after stalled talks on longer-term renewals, pushing the deadline further amid debates over warrant requirements and surveillance reforms.
