FISA Section 702 Extended to April 30 Amid Controversy

The U.S. Congress approved a short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, allowing warrantless surveillance and foreign intelligence collection until April 30. The extension comes just before the original expiration deadline. Some lawmakers, including Sen. Ron Wyden, oppose the extension without reforms, citing concerns over government surveillance abuses. President Donald Trump supports a clean 18-month extension, emphasizing the program's importance for national security amid ongoing tensions in Iran.
