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

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 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.

Section 702 lets the government access private communications without a warrant. Millions of Americans’ emails, messages, and other data are swept up under the guise of foreign intelligence.

The government rifles through your data without a warrant and calls it "not a search" because someone else stores it. The Surveillance Accountability Act eliminates the 3rd-Party Doctrine. It defines "search" and ends the charade.

The average American is surveilled 6–8 times every day through Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs). The PRIVACY Act requires federal law enforcement to obtain a warrant before accessing surveillance data. The Fourth Amendment is not a suggestion. DON’T SPY ON ME.

Rep. Roy on his SAVE America Act: "The math problem is whether they've got 51 Republican Senators willing to stand with President Trump, stand with the House of Representatives, and stand with the American people to ensure that only American citizens vote in American elections and to get a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act passed that actually protects Americans from warrantless surveillance."

Democrats have fully adopted the mantra of defunding the police and open borders. We're seeing more evidence of that this week as they block reauthorization of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a critical tool our intelligence agencies use to keep Americans safe.

The FBI has grossly misused the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to spy on American citizens. I have long called for a full repeal of FISA. Bad actors in the FBI violating the civil liberties of Americans should be brought to justice.

The way the courts currently protect the 4th Amendment has created giant loopholes. Due to the 3rd-party doctrine, the government can collect basically everything you do, without a warrant. The Surveillance Accountability Act defines "search" and closes this loophole.

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.

"...Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary. You can see the photo on your screens. That photo, by the way, I'll blow it up for you, is genuine. We can assure you we would not be publishing this photo of Ed Miliband attempting to eat a sandwich if it were not genuine. Everyone in the United Kingdom knows that is indeed a real photo. The point here is that man, as you can see pictured on your screens now, is our new Foreign Secretary. Why the photo in particular is relevant is because of the...there's another one for you, it's because of the implication. As Lee Anderson MP states, which you can see now in the middle of your screens: 'Ed Miliband is now in charge of (our secret intelligence service, colloquially known as) MI6. Let that sink in.' This man is in charge of Britain's intelligence, Foreign Intelligence Service. And that is a problem. It is a problem because the photo itself, though of course comedic and tongue-in-cheek, what it depicts is an image of a man that lacks control of his faculties, in a more nuanced sense. And that is as exemplified by the concerns that the Americans have raised, which is on your screens now. It's not just us picking on him from over a photo, all right? Though, the photo is relevant. It's - to the actual point - where diplomacy comes in. The Americans have have made a serious point. The Times reports 21st July 2026, 'Ed Miliband has been appointed as Foreign Secretary. The US administration has already let it be known that it has significant reservations about Miliband.' Now, what those reservations may well be, probably include the fact that Ed Miliband was known as Red Ed, born to a devout Marxist father...Ed Miliband is similarly of that view. He was known as Red Ed when in government. The Americans are probably concerned that we've just appointed Red Ed as the head of our Foreign Intelligence Service." Maajid Nawaz for WARRIOR CREED

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

Thomas Massie and Lauren Boebert just declared war on the mass surveillance state. “FISA 702 is just the tip of the iceberg … ” “There have been so many erosions of our Fourth Amendment right to privacy.” “The Bank Secrecy Act, the Right to Financial Privacy Act, the Patriot Act … all of them created so-called loopholes in the Constitution.” “The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act … is used to go after Americans.” “I’ve been in a SCIF last week where I saw two secret rulings … of how the government has created additional loopholes to spy on you that I’m not even allowed to tell you.” “And finally, the third-party doctrine.” “It’s based on a ruling of the Supreme Court … I think it was a bad ruling, but it’s been expanded in its interpretation to include things like doctor’s appointment records, bank records, phone records … Flock cameras.” “Imagine … that you turn AI loose on these databases.” “Now, there’s virtually nothing the government can’t know about you without a warrant.” “That is why we’ve created … the Surveillance Accountability Act.” “It closes these loopholes that I’ve explained.” “And more importantly, it creates a private right of action.” “It’s almost impossible to sue federal government employees if they infringe on your constitutional rights.” “The second half of this bill gives you the right to sue the government employee.” “If they infringe on your constitutional rights, they could be privately and personally sued for that.” Thomas Massie Thomas Massie for Congress Lauren Boebert

🏛️ 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.

Most Americans don’t realize the incredible amount of private data that is being harvested from their smartphones by third parties, says Joe Weil, CEO of Unplugged Unplugged. What’s even worse is that this advertising data is not protected by the Fourth Amendment, he says. Data brokers sell this data freely, and just by applying a few filters, anyone—foreign governments, intelligence services, criminal cartels—can easily triangulate the data to surveil and target individual people or groups of people.

🚨BREAKING: Ben Habib Pledge to DELETE Palantir data harvesting from the United Kingdom This foreign company, PALANTIR, now holds data from the NHS, Police, DHSC, Local councils, and the Government Digital Service. It’s now been revealed that they control Britain’s highway data and the Ministry of Defence. The worst thing is that under the US Cloud Act and FISA – the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act – “gives law enforcement and intelligence the right to access data anywhere in the world if held by a US company”. This gives the 🇺🇸 US MASSIVE control over 🇬🇧 us. Ben Habib's pledge to get back control of our data by “DELETING IT” from Palantir. Definitely not EASY, but THIS IS A WIN if done.
