House passes three-year reauthorization of Section 702 surveillance authority
The House voted 235-191 on Wednesday to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for three years, extending warrantless surveillance powers on noncitizens. The measure passed with bipartisan support: 22 Republicans and 42 Democrats crossed party lines. Speaker Mike Johnson secured the votes by adding a central bank digital currency ban to appease conservative holdouts, while privacy advocates won new oversight guardrails but not warrant requirements.
