Sen. Cotton Pushes Three-Week Extension for FISA Surveillance Program
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process after being sent to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for review. It is actively moving forward as it awaits further study by committee members. There are no upcoming votes scheduled at this time.
The bill was introduced just one day before the deadline, which makes it hard to pass quickly unless everyone in the Senate agrees to move fast.
Scores run from -100 (strongly harmful) to +100 (strongly beneficial) for each group, combining impact, certainty, scope, and duration ratings of 1-5. How impact scoring works
The FISA 702 program collects communications of non-U.S. persons abroad, and intelligence gathered can sometimes relate to immigration enforcement. However, this 20-day extension simply maintains the status quo rather than expanding or restricting any authority, so the practical effect is neutral.
