Ferramenta de vigilância da Seção 702 expira após votação no Congresso

A Seção 702 da Lei de Vigilância de Inteligência Estrangeira expirou depois que o Congresso se recusou a estendê-la na semana passada. O secretário de Segurança Interna, Markwayne Mullin, descreveu a atual ameaça terrorista como a mais alta de todos os tempos.

Mullin fez os comentários durante uma aparição no domingo na Fox News. Ele disse que agências federais prendem terroristas dentro dos Estados Unidos todas as semanas e alertou que a perda da autoridade atrasaria as investigações.

A disposição permitia que a CIA, a NSA e o FBI monitorassem suspeitos estrangeiros no exterior sem um mandado. Ela expirou na sexta-feira após votos de 19 republicanos e quase todos os democratas contra uma extensão de curto prazo. Esforços do Senado para aprovar medidas alternativas também falharam.

Mullin observou que a mudança ocorre antes de 78 partidas da Copa do Mundo em 11 cidades dos EUA e eventos nacionais do America 250. Ele disse que alguns departamentos de polícia locais não têm recursos suficientes para lidar com a carga de trabalho adicional.

O líder da minoria no Senado, Chuck Schumer, disse que o diretor interino de Inteligência Nacional, Bill Pulte, deve ser substituído. O líder da minoria na Câmara, Hakeem Jeffries, acusou o governo de interromper as negociações. Os senadores Tom Cotton e Chuck Grassley alertaram sobre uma possível lacuna na coleta de inteligência estrangeira.

As the U.S.-backed war involving Iran enters its second month, President Donald Trump has set an April 6 deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, warning of attacks on Iranian power plants while also claiming talks are progressing—an assertion Iranian officials have publicly disputed. In a recent NPR interview, Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee, argued the conflict risks widening and may not achieve its stated aims. He also discussed the ongoing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding lapse that has left the agency partially shut down amid a standoff over immigration enforcement policy.
