Privacy hawks say such a requirement is necessary to overhaul a law that has been implicated in past abuses, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/05\/19\/us\/politics\/fbi-violated-surveillance-program-rules.html\">improper searches<\/a> of government officials and protesters. Biden administration and law enforcement officials argue such a requirement would badly inhibit their ability to conduct timely queries, including in cybersecurity cases.<\/p>\n<p>Reformers seeking the most dramatic changes to Section 702 had sought to include a provision to prevent commercial data brokers from selling consumer information to law enforcement, but that measure <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/newsletters\/playbook\/2024\/04\/08\/gop-privacy-hawks-vs-gop-security-hawks-00150996\">looks likely to be excluded<\/a> this time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That could further inflame privacy-oriented lawmakers on both sides of the aisle and scuttle attempts to keep Section 702 in place. <\/p>\n<p>The effort to rein in Section 702 has made unlikely bedfellows of progressive lawmakers on the left, longtime conservative opponents of the measure and allies of former President Donald Trump on the far right, where Speaker Mike Johnson\u2019s unwillingness to back the 702 overhaul effort may further rouse discontent toward the Louisiana Republican within his caucus. <\/p>\n<p>As the debate over 702 has become increasingly politically fraught, it\u2019s entirely possible that the process falls apart this week with the House failing to pass any meaningful legislation on the issue \u2014 something that\u2019s happened twice already in recent efforts to renew and amend Section 702 for the long term.<\/p>\n<p>The 702 authorities are set to expire April 19 after a short-term extension was passed right before the end of 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Referencing the film \u201cThe Good, the Bad and the Ugly,\u201d Jake Laperruque of the civil liberties group the Center for Democracy and Technology said there were three potential scenarios for how this week\u2019s votes on 702 might play out. \u201cThe good\u201d would be if the data broker proposal gets a vote, \u201cthe bad\u201d is if the data broker language doesn\u2019t get a vote and \u201cthe ugly\u201d is if the whole process falls apart and it leaves congressional leadership with the belief that it must pass a \u201cclean\u201d extension of Section 702.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Johnson said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.speaker.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SMJ-FISA-Dear-Colleague-4-5-24.pdf\">in a letter<\/a> last week that inaction in the House could lead the Senate to \u201cjam us\u201d with the last scenario.<\/p>\n<p>As written, the bill at the center of the House debate would implement a number of provisions that senior administration officials described in a call with reporters late last week as \u201csignificant reforms\u201d and \u201cthe most robust of any authorization cycle of 702,\u201d such as a requirement that an FBI supervisor or attorney review and approve all U.S. person queries. <\/p>\n<p>Privacy hawks view those changes as insufficient, and some of the proposed amendments could make the bill worse, said Laperruque, who is the deputy director of CDT\u2019s Security and Surveillance Project. One amendment, from the leaders of the House Intelligence Committee, Chairman Mike Turner, R-Ohio, and Jim Himes, D-Conn., would <a href=\"https:\/\/amendments-rules.house.gov\/amendments\/ECSP_xml240408185822057.pdf?_gl=1*115ctj3*_ga*NDM4NDczMDY3LjE3MTEwNDI1NjY.*_ga_N4RTJ5D08B*MTcxMjY4MDkxNi41LjEuMTcxMjY4MDkxOS4wLjAuMA..\">expand the definition of \u201celectronic communication service provider,\u201d<\/a> which privacy advocates fear would potentially lead to a drastic expansion in the kinds of companies that would have to assist in conducting U.S. government surveillance.<\/p>\n<p>But much of the attention, should the bill advance to the floor, will be on an amendment requiring warrants involving U.S. person queries. Section 702 involves the targeting of people overseas but who might sometimes be communicating with people in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray renewed the push from national security officials to reject a warrant requirement.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cA warrant requirement would be the equivalent of rebuilding the pre-9\/11 intelligence \u2018wall,\u2019\u201d Wray told the American Bar Association, according to a copy of his prepared remarks. \u201cAs the threats to our homeland continue to evolve, the agility and effectiveness of 702 will be essential to the FBI\u2019s ability, and really our mandate from the American people, to keep them safe for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glenn Gerstell, a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies who is a former general counsel of the National Security Agency, said a warrant requirement would be \u201cparticularly devastating\u201d for cybersecurity cases, where it could lead to days\u2019 worth of delays to get a warrant in a fast-moving investigation of a Russian ransomware gang.<\/p>\n<p>On the other side of the debate, Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are working to ignite the Republican base against Section 702, writing on the social media platform formerly known as Twitter that a warrant requirement for the law would \u201cmake it harder for Joe Biden\u2019s intel friends to SPY on you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In making their case for renewing Section 702, Biden administration officials <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/white-house-section-702-fisa-surveillance\/\">have described Section 702 as an essential tool<\/a> in combating cybercrime, and while <a href=\"https:\/\/amendments-rules.house.gov\/amendments\/BIGGS_169_xml%20warrant240409091944047.pdf?_gl=1*1j2qxh6*_ga*NDM4NDczMDY3LjE3MTEwNDI1NjY.*_ga_N4RTJ5D08B*MTcxMjY4MDkxNi41LjEuMTcxMjY4MTk5My4wLjAuMA..\">the proposed amendment to add a warrant requirement<\/a> to query the communications of Americans does include an exception for cybersecurity cases, Gerstell said it would \u201cnot be adequate.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both sides of the debate have spent recent days pressing their case. Ohio Republican Rep. Warren Davidson, who has been at the forefront of pushing for the data broker restrictions, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GunOwners\/status\/1777425282464449005\">reposted a tweet by the Gun Owners of America<\/a> contending that the House needed to pass those restrictions \u201cto protect gun owners from rogue bureaucratic agencies!\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>While the House could vote on the restrictions on data brokers selling information to law enforcement separately under an expedited procedure, that procedure would require a two-thirds vote for passage and the chances that such legislation would move forward in the Senate, where floor time is more limited, is unlikely, noted Laperruque.<\/p>\n<p>Turner, meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HouseIntel\/status\/1776997099579601178\">took to CNN<\/a> over the weekend. \u201cAll Americans would want us to try to make certain that we keep ourselves safe from these outside terrorist groups and organizations,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are not spying on Americans.
