FISA Surveillance Debate Intensifies

The controversial spy program is set to expire next week, prompting a high-stakes standoff between civil liberties advocates and the White House.

While the administration views FISA as essential for countering threats from China and Iran, several Democrats and some Republicans are pushing for warrant-related amendments.

Senator Ron Wyden has called for strict guardrails on the use of AI in surveillance to protect American privacy.

The debate has become a central political headache for Speaker Mike Johnson as he struggles to gather enough GOP votes for a clean extension.
