Do you want the Trump administration scanning your calls, texts, and emails? Didn’t think so.
But since 2008, legal loopholes have allowed the federal government to surveil these electronic communications without a warrant.
Trump and Stephen Miller have been pushing to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows this surveillance, without ANY privacy protections. Thankfully, a bipartisan majority in the House derailed their renewal attempt — and opened up an unprecedented opportunity to upend an era of warrantless surveillance.
A temporary extension is expiring as soon as April 30, setting up an urgent fight on Capitol Hill over our constitutional right to privacy. Congress has so far refused to give in to Trump, but as he ramps up the pressure, we need to respond with an overwhelming groundswell of activists demanding NO more spying loopholes.
