Controversial #FISA spying law expires tonight. The #spying will continue.
Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence #Surveillance Act (FISA) is set to expire at midnight tonight after Congress failed to pass an extension of the controversial spying law. But that doesn't mean the government's spying powers will disappear.
Surveillance under #Section702 of FISA "operates under yearlong certifications approved by the FISA Court," the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law explained this week. The current certification will remain in place until March 2027 under the yearlong certification issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on March 17, 2026.

FISA Section 702 is going to lapse — and that’s a big deal (in a good way)
The final vote on H.R.9238, a three-week extension of FISA Section 702Both chambers of Congress have left town, meaning that FISA Section 702 won’t be reauthorized by the June 12 “deadline”. Even though the lapse is likely to be temporary, it’s still a big deal. This is the first time these authorities have lapsed since they were put in place in 2008 — the year Get FISA Right started. So thanks to all the legislators in both parties who voted “no” … and thanks to all the activists who have gotten involved over the years!
In practice, though, the lapse doesn’t make a lot of difference in the short term. The FISA Court certifies programs for a year at a time, so section 702 surveillance will continue until March 2027; Patrick Eddington’s FISA Section 702 Lapse Assured—What Now? on cato.org has the details.
Still, a lapse really is a big victory for reformers. Intelligence agencies and surveillance hawks hate hate hate the idea of reforms, and two years ago they were able to get a reauthorization without conceding. That didn’t work this time.
And it’s really worth highlighting the bipartisan pus for reforms. 9 House Republicans voting against the reauthorization, and Senate Republicans including Mike Lee and Rand Paul also said that a reauthorization without reforms was a non-starter. While Trump’s appointment of the odious Bill Pulte was a key reason that Democratic leaders finally rallied against reauthorization, the statement from House Democratic leadership also highlighted that the path to reauthoriation “will require enacting meaningful reforms”
As Jake Leperruque says in the Washington Examiner, there’s only one way out of Congress’s FISA quagmire; congressional leaders need to “stop stonewalling and allow votes on reforms, which until now had always been the expected norm.” EPIC Privacy notes
“Senators from both sides of the aisle have introduced bills that would reauthorize Section 702 while making crucial reforms: The Government Surveillance Reform Act of 2026 (GSRA); the Security and Freedom Enhancement Act of 2026 (SAFE Act); and the Protect Liberty and End Warrantless Surveillance Act of 2026 (Protect Liberty Act).”
All of these include reforms like a warrant requirement and closing the data broker loophole, which have broad public support as well as bipartisan support in Congress.
What next? The House is on recess until June 23, but they might well take FISA up again once they get back. Or, the Senate might decide to take another crack at it. Not long after the vote, Trump announced that he was nominating Jay Clayton (US Attorney in Manhatten, and former chair of SEC) as permanent Director of National Intelligence. Even though Clayton is statutorially unqualified for the role (since he doesn’t have any intelligence experience), he’s not Pulte, so surveillance hawks are probably hoping that will be enough to change the dynamics. So we shall see …
Right now, though, it’s a good time to thank your Representatives if they voted “nay” today — or let them know you’re disappointed if they voted “yea.”. Here’s the roll-call vote.
- The US Capitol switchboard at 202-224-312 is a good option if you want to hone — or just call their DC or local office directly.
- The Representative Directory links off to their websites, if you prefer to use a webform,
Your message doesn’t have to be fancy! Here are sample scripts.
If your representative voted “no”, thank them!
I’m [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY]. I want to thank [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] for voting against the three-week extension to FISA Section 702. This is our best chance yet to reform FISA, and there’s broad bipartisan support for a warrant requirement and closing the data broker loophole. When the House takes up this issue again, please continue to vote against any reauthorization that does not include these reforms
If your representative voted “yes” and is a Republican, let them know you’re disappointed!
I’m [NAME], and I’m a constituent from [CITY]. I I was very disappointed that [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] voted for a reauthorization of FISA Section 702 without any reforms on June 11. Reforms like a warrant requirement and closing the data broker loophole have broad bipartisan support; 19 Republicans voted against this extnesion, and I was really hoping [REPRESENTATIVE NAME] would be one of them.
When the House takes up this issue again, please against any reauthorization unless it includes these reforms. Now more than ever in the era of mass AI, personal privacy and civil liberties must be protected.
If your representative voted “yes” and is a Democrat, let them know you’re disappointed and highlight the threat of the Trump administration!

Spy law on track to lapse after House rejects extension
The vote effectively ensures #Section702 will expire for the first time since it was enacted in 2008.
The proposal, rejected on a 218-198 vote, would have extended Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (#FISA) through July 2. It would have been the latest in a series of punts #Congress has passed in recent months.

The 702 Ultimatum: #Warrant Requirement or Bust
For months now, #Congress has been kicking the ball down the road—temporarily postponing the expiration of the mass #surveillance authority #Section702 of #FISA in hopes that some consensus could be reached. Now, with the deadline looming, the stakes have never been higher. Nearly every time the statute has come up for renewal, the people demanding #privacy and civil liberties have had to compromise, but with current negotiations seemingly at an impasse, it’s time for surveillance maximalist lawmakers to come to the table.
We say to the Intelligence Community crowd: Section 702 should require a warrant before the Federal Bureau of Investigation can look at digital communications collected from Americans. If not, we should let the whole thing expire.

FISA update: the fake “deadline” is approaching quickly
“The battle over FISA 702 reauthorization continues. A bipartisan coalition of reformers continue to press to introduce a warrant requirement and close the data broker loophole. Surveillance hawks continue to press for reauthorization without any meaningful reforms. In April, 42 Democrats joined the majority of House Republicans in passed a three-year authorization without meaningful reforms — boooooo!!!!! Fortunately the Senate said no, and so at the last moment they passed a 45-day extension. With only ten days left, time’s running out to come to agreement — or let the statute lapse. “
— FISA Reauth down to the short strokes, June 1“Senate Republicans early Friday could not muster enough votes to move forward on a long-term reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, leaving the key surveillance power, which expires next week, in limbo as both chambers leave the Capitol for the weekend.”
— FISA reauthorization stalls in early-morning Senate vote, Savannah Behrmann in Roll Call, June 5“Next week it gets real.”
–Sen. Majority Leader Thune, quoted in GOP leadership’s FISA jam on Punchbowl News, June 5“I’ll be fighting like hell between now and June 12 to ensure Congress doesn’t cave and renew Section 702 of FISA without real reforms. Security and liberty aren’t mutually exclusive, and it seems like Congress is finally starting to understand that.”
— Sen. Ron Wyden, on BlueskyOnce again FISA reauthorization is going down to the wire. Early last week there were reports that Sen. John Warner had convinced enough Senate Democrats to support a “compromise” (ha-ha) three-year extension without any real reforms, hoping that enough Democrats would also cross over in the House to pass it. But once Bill Pulte — with no intelligence experience and a track record of abusing data to target the President’s opponents — was installed as Acting Director of National Intelligence and nominated for the permanent role — Democrats in both chambers drew the line. And time is running out to get agreement by the June 12 “deadline”. What a mess.
It’s worth highlighting that the “deadline” isn’t real. Even if Section 702 doesn’t get reauthorized by June 12, the surveillance continues for another nine months: the FISA Court has already approved the certifications through March 2027. So Congress could re-authorize it during the lame duck session in December, or early next year. Still, surveillance hawks are still trying to use the fake “deadline” to create a sense of urgency.
In Punchbowl News, Jake Sherman et al suggest that “short of removing Pulte from the job, the only other way to assuage Democrats would be for Trump to name a permanent nominee who meets the qualifications outlined in the statute that created ODNI.” Very honestly, if it were any other adminstration I’d be assuming that was the game plan, and the cynic in me would be wondering whether the whole Pulte subplot was a ploy to let Democrats claim to win something and then get behind the previous “compromise” (ha-ha) deal. With this administration … who knows. But, it’s still a possibility to be nervous about.
Still, even if the Pulte mess somehow gets cleared up, there’s no guarantee that anything without significant reforms will be able to pass the House. Politico reports that House Freedom Caucus Republicans are restarting their social media campaign to demand a warrant requirement, so it might be challenging to get something through Rules. If that doesn’t happen, Speaker Johnson’s only option is a floor vote without a rule which would require a 2/3 majority — and with a majority of House Democrats also supporting reforms, it’s not clear how likely that is. Over the weekend Senators Tom Cotton and Chuck Grassley sent to Secretary of State Marco Rubio warning that Section 702 authorities might lapse, and urging the administration to “explore alternative legal authorities to continue collecting intelligence and, if necessary, to draft an executive order to address the gap left by the expiration of the law.” Rubio wrote back saying how bad that would be. It’s shameless posturing — the “deadline” isn’t real — but it’s worked in the past.
Of course they could pass something with real reforms. Proposed reform legislation including the GSRA, SAFE Act and Protect Liberty Act has bipartisan support, and the votes are probably there in both chambers. But I’m not holding my breath. Maybe they can find the votes for another short-term extension, but then again everybody in both parties is pretty sick of this nonsense so maybe not. The closer we get to midterm elections, the less time and energy Congress wants to spend on a polarizing issue like FISA. So we shall see.
In any case, it’s once again a great time to contact your legislators! This is a situation where calls are likely to have a lot more impact than emails; you can use the US Capitol switchboard at 202-224-312, call your legislators office directly. or use calling tools from Indivisible and QuitGPT if you prefer. Both the House and Senate will be voting, so if you have time please call your Senators as well as your Representative!
Here’s a simple script.
#FISA #politics #privacy #Section702 #surveillanceHi, my name is [Your Name], and I’m a constituent from [Your City, State]. I am calling today to ask that reject any extension to FISA Section 702 unless it includes key bipartisan reforms: closing requiring a warrant and closing the data broker loophole. Please do not be fooled by fake reforms that simply restate existing law, and please stop passing short-term extensions that just kick the ball down the road. Instead, support real reform like the GSRA — which has bipartisan support in both chambers.

Trump's Pick for Intel Chief Jeopardizes Surveillance Powers Deal
President Trump's surprise pick for intel chief, William Pulte, has thrown a wrench into a fragile deal to extend a critical surveillance authority, sparking concerns from lawmakers that his appointment could put politics over national security. With Pulte's lack of experience and questionable past, some are worried that the nation's…

Congress Extends Surveillance Law Amid Renewed Scrutiny
Congress has given itself a 45-day reprieve, extending a contentious surveillance law that's raised alarm bells over its potential for abuse, despite revelations of major compliance problems. The law, Section 702, allows for warrantless snooping on foreign targets, but critics worry about its impact on civil liberties.

‘Dangerous and Shameful’: 42 House #Democrats Help #GOP Send #Trump Spying Bill to Senate
“It was these Democrats’ responsibility to stand up against this administration, and they voted to stand down instead,” said one campaigner.
Jessica Corbett, Apr 29, 2026
Excerpt: " 'The 42 Democratic votes to advance Speaker Johnson and Donald Trump’s #surveillance agenda are dangerous and shameful,' she declared.
" 'These Democrats defied their constituents and common sense to undercut meaningful privacy reforms in the House and instead voted to hand over sweeping spy powers to the Trump administration,' she stressed. 'This means continuing #warrantless backdoor searches and allowing an increasing number of federal agencies to exploit the data broker loophole to supercharge #AI and fuel mass #DomesticSurveillance.'
