FISA extension vote delayed

The delay has forced the House to pass a temporary two-week extension to prevent the surveillance program from expiring.

President Trump has reportedly pushed for a shorter 18-month renewal, while some Democrats remain skeptical of any extension without significant privacy guardrails.

The debate centers on Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows spy agencies to collect communications of non-citizens abroad.

Leaders are now working through the night to reach a compromise that can satisfy both the administration and the holdouts.
