A hearing Tuesday suggested that big fights loom again before expiration next April of the most recent legislation on the topic.<\/p>\n<p>Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle had gripes at Tuesday\u2019s hearing about that <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/fisa-reauthorization-heads-to-bidens-desk-after-senate-passage\/\">2024 law<\/a>, the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act (RISAA). The gripes included its exclusion of a warrant requirement for those U.S. person searches and an expansion of the definition of what kind of companies must comply with government information demands. Democrats also said the Trump administration\u2019s personnel cuts have hampered oversight of the Section 702 program.<\/p>\n<p>The House Judiciary Committee advanced a competing proposal in 2024 that would have included the warrant requirement, but an attempt to win its adoption <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/house-passes-extension-of-expiring-surveillance-authorities\/\">fell on a tie vote<\/a> of 212-212 on the House floor.<\/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>\u201cWe need to make sure we win this time,\u201d House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said at Tuesday\u2019s hearing of the Subcommittee on Crime and Federal Government Surveillance, citing past abuses of U.S. person searches.<\/p>\n<p>One issue for those favoring a warrant requirement could be the stance of the Trump administration, with Republicans controlling Congress. Trump has <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/702-fisa-surveillance-house-vote\/\">disrupted efforts<\/a> to renew Section 702 before, but his FBI director, Kash Patel, said at his nomination hearing that he opposed such a requirement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving a warrant requirement to go through that information in real time is just not comportive with the requirement to protect American citizenry,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/fbi-nominee-kash-patel-cybercrime-silk-road-surveillance-powers\/\">he said<\/a>. Jordan said the last proposal for a warrant requirement included exceptions for emergencies and other circumstances, and would again next time.<\/p>\n<p>During 2024 debate, then-Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Mark Warner, D-Va., opposed cutting out provisions of the legislation that changed the definition of \u201celectronic communications service providers\u201d in a way that critics said could lead to a vast surveillance expansion, but that national security officials in the Biden administration said was narrowly tailored. <a href=\"https:\/\/therecord.media\/section-702-renewal-ecsps-mark-warner\">Warner said later<\/a> that he would favor \u201cfixing\u201d that \u2014 but it didn\u2019t make it into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nextgov.com\/cybersecurity\/2024\/12\/congress-approves-2025-ndaa-important-cyber-provisions\/401764\/\">the final version<\/a> of last year\u2019s annual intelligence policy bill.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans are more inclined to trust the Trump administration than the Biden administration on handling Section 702 issues like that. \u201cWe think the new leadership at the FBI is going to be better when it comes to respecting people\u2019s constitutional rights,\u201d said Rep. Tom Tiffany, R-Wis. \u201cShould Congress just move on from this issue or should it act?\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>Answered James Czerniawski, senior policy analyst for technology and innovation at the conservative advocacy group Americans for Prosperity: \u201cI would not want to leave it up for interpretation for potential abuse under a future administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, though, said the Trump administration has weakened oversight mechanisms under the 2024 legislation by removing the person who was supervising mandatory monthly audit reports of U.S. person queries and freezing the hiring of personnel needed to produce those reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s nobody left to audit warrantless searches, much less provide the mandatory report to Congress,\u201d said Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee.<\/p>\n<p>Raskin also said the administration weakened oversight by jettisoning Democratic members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (the subject of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/24\/us\/politics\/trump-privacy-watchdog-firings-lawsuit.html\">a legal challenge<\/a>) \u2014 making it impossible for the board to act, without the ability to have a quorum \u2014 and <a href=\"https:\/\/defensescoop.com\/2025\/04\/04\/trump-fires-gen-timothy-haugh-cyber-command-nsa\/\">getting rid of leaders<\/a> at the National Security Agency.<\/p>\n<p><\/body> <\/p>\n<footer class=\"single-article__footer\">\n<div class=\"author-card\" readability=\"7.7216117216117\">\n<div class=\"author-card__avatar\">\n<figure class=\"author-card__image-wrap\"> <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"author-card__image\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ddi.mohflo.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/privacy-fights-over-expiring-surveillance-law-loom-after-house-hearing-1.jpg?w=640&ssl=1\" alt=\"Tim Starks\"> <\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"author-card__details\" readability=\"10.901098901099\">\n<h4 class=\"author-card__name\">Written by Tim Starks<\/h4>\n<p> Tim Starks is senior reporter at CyberScoop.
