For years the federal government has had unfettered access to Americans' private data and communications. Enough is enough. Proud to introduce my bipartisan Government Surveillance Reform Act to reform FISA Section 702 and protect law-abiding Americans from government overreach.

FISA 702 just passed the House with zero reforms. This bill allows the government to access Americans’ private communications without a warrant, in direct violation of the Fourth Amendment protections. As the government lays the groundwork for spying, its allies in private corporations are rapidly rolling out consumer-grade surveillance technologies into everyday homes. Tools introduced for convenience can also become access points for data collection. We unpack this and more with HealthRanger.

Elizabeth Goitein, a well-known expert on national security law and surveillance reform confirms the FBI has a database full of unlawful surveillance on American citizens Rep Brandon Gill: “So there’s millions of, potentially more, bits of communication information of American citizens sitting in various government databases that FBI agents have access to without obtaining a warrant? That seems like a pretty egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment, does it not?” Elizabeth Goitein: “To me, that is a violation right there, even if every single query complies with the internal standards and procedures that have been adopted. It’s not probable cause in a warrant, and therefore, it’s a Fourth Amendment problem.” Brandon Gill: “Agreed” This is all being obtained with FISA It concerns Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) This program allows the US government to target non-US persons overseas for electronic surveillance like emails, texts, call without a warrant. The main issue is this sweeps in massive amounts of Americans’ communications Once collected, the data sits in government databases. FBI agents (and others) can then perform “backdoor searches” called US person queries on that data without a warrant, using Americans’ names, emails, phone numbers and more

We can fight terrorism without giving up our rights. Use 702 for foreign intelligence, but don’t search Americans without a warrant. Security and liberty aren’t mutually exclusive. Ed Henry

While surveilling foreign targets under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the US government collects exabytes of data pertaining to American citizens. The Constitution requires a warrant to query that vast database for Americans. End warrantless spying now.

The 4th Amendment has no expiration date - but Section 702 of FISA does. Congress wants to rubber-stamp the “Surveillance State” without reform. Americans are sick of Big Brother freely snooping through their data. Get a warrant. DON’T SPY ON ME.

Tucker Carlson exposes a massive betrayal by the intelligence agencies. He confirms the NSA actively sweeps up the private communications of American citizens and hands the raw data directly to the Israeli government. Washington is completely compromised by foreign interests.

For too long, Americans’ constitutional rights have been violated. I joined Mike Lee to introduce a bill to require government agents to obtain a warrant before viewing Americans’ private communications collected under 702. Let’s get this done and protect Americans’ security and their constitutional rights.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act should focus on foreign threats, just as its name says. The Constitution protects Americans’ privacy and requires a warrant before the government can search their data. Let’s uphold those principles. Ed Henry

The FBI just acknowledged that the federal government buys Americans' location data in its testimony to the Senate Select Subcommittee on Intelligence. This is a clear violation of the Fourth Amendment and is why I introduced the Government Surveillance Reform Act - to close the data broker loophole that allows intelligence agencies to buy Americans' private data.

It is after midnight, and the Speaker of the House just released a new bill that would reauthorize our intelligence community to conduct warrantless surveillance under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for the next 5 years. This is no way to govern. You deserve better.

Under FISA Section 702, any administration can spy on Americans without a warrant. It’s a ridiculous loophole that Congress has temporarily extended. Mike Johnson should immediately bring an amendment to the floor to require warrants and stop this unconstitutional surveillance.

🏛️ House Blocks Section 702 Surveillance Extension 🔹The House on Thursday rejected a three-week extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, voting 198-218 and falling short of the two-thirds majority required under the expedited process. The measure would have extended the warrantless foreign surveillance program through July 2. 🔹19 Republicans joined nearly every Democrat in voting against the patch, while 7 Democrats voted in favor. 🔹Many Democrats withheld support over President Donald Trump’s plan to install Bill Pulte, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and a close ally with no national security experience, as acting director of national intelligence on June 19. Some Republican holdouts opposed the bill demanding a warrant requirement for querying US citizens’ data. 🔹With the House leaving for a week-long recess and not expected to vote again until June 23, Section 702 is poised to expire this week. Speaker Mike Johnson, asked whether he would bring the House back, said, “What would be the point?” The program’s surveillance operations can continue regardless, as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has already recertified Section 702 through March 2027.

Trump was always against FISA 702 without warrant requirements because it was abused and used to spy on Trump himself and well as hundreds of thousands of Americans? So why is he now demanding Congress reauthorize FISA 702 clean?? Without warrant requirements!!

Oh… Canada is doing a UK. Now they want access to your private messages to “stop criminal illegal migration.” ▪️Police and prosecutors get “lawful access” to texts, DMs, and phone data. ▪️SAAIA forces tech companies to build systems to hand over communications and metadata, sometimes without a full warrant upfront. ▪️Updates let police search computers, data, and even mail more easily, all in the name of border security and illegal migration. And all in lockstep with the UN Digital Compact framework and the SDGs. We see you 💣
