A coalition of 33 organizations has urged Congressional leaders, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Sen. Chuck Schumer, to amend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702 to close a loophole that allows law enforcement to purchase civilians' personal data without a warrant. This comes as a vote on FISA is anticipated next week, with a comprehensive briefing for the House scheduled for April 10, involving key intelligence and law enforcement agencies such as ODNI, CIA, NSA, DOJ, FBI, and DoD. The push for reform is met with resistance from pro-surveillance advocates, including the White House, emphasizing the need for significant changes to protect citizens' Fourth Amendment rights against unreasonable searches.
