The United States is facing a high-stakes standoff over the renewal of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which began in 2008 to address intelligence gaps and provides 97% of the FBI's raw technical reporting on cyber threats and assisted in military operations. The House and Senate passed a 10-day extension of the program via unanimous consent after broader reauthorization efforts collapsed due to GOP divisions. The issue is over whether the FBI should be required to obtain a judge's permission before searching a database of intercepted foreign communications for information belonging to Americans. The White House and the Department of Justice argue that a warrant requirement acts as a "de facto ban," slowing investigations into threats from Iran. The current fight is also being debated over the Data Broker Loophole Act, which would prevent agencies from purchasing sensitive data from private brokers to bypass the warrant process.
