Thank you @JoaquinCastrotx for raising serious concerns about how House Intel's #Section702 bill would expand warrantless surveillance & give those who capitalize on fear and xenophobia an important tool to pursue their agenda. #FixFISA youtu.be/HSFmseKtuMY?si…
The House Intelligence Committee wants to make it easier for the government to spy on you without a warrant at hotels, public libraries, coffee shops, you name it. In the coming weeks, I'll be fighting with everything I've got to stop this bill in its tracks.
The House Intelligence Committee has approved the FISA Reform and Reauthorization Act of 2023 which would greatly expand the class of businesses and other entities required to assist in FISA 702 surveillance. zwillgen.com/law-enforcemen…
A few minutes ago, a coalition of 90+ civil rights and racial justice organizations wrote a letter to Congress, opposing the reauthorization of warrantless surveillance through the NDAA. We are one of them. ➡️bit.ly/oppose-702-ndaa
In the latest in our series on #FISA Section 702 reform, @LizaGoitein & @NoahChauvin (@BrennanCenter) argue proposed changes to the law are "insufficient" and would "expand warrantless searches and other forms of #surveillance." Read more: justsecurity.org/90230/the-year…
These revelations underscore the dire need to pass the Government Surveillance Reform Act and stop the buying of Americans’ sensitive data. As we take up FISA reauthorization, @HouseJudiciary must hold hearings to investigate this and protect our fundamental right to privacy.
NEW: A WIRED analysis of leaked police documents verifies that a secretive government program is allowing federal, state, and local law enforcement to access phone records of Americans who are not suspected of a crime. wired.trib.al/1Ra5EEj
If @SenSchumer and others are worried about Section 702 expiring, they should bring the Government Surveillance Reform Act of 2023 to the floor quickly. As @LizaGoitein and I put it, the GSRA is "the best--and perhaps only--path to reauthorization." 6/6 justsecurity.org/89786/the-year…
My oped with fellow @PCLOB_GOV Board Members @EdFelten & Travis LeBlanc: Reforming FISA Section 702: Communications searches should require a court order: "Because warrantless searches pose significant threats to Americans’ #privacy" go.shr.lc/3QFRdUF - @WashTimesOpEd
As a South Asian immigrant woman who lives in America, I know how Section 702 has been used to unfairly target people who look like myself. We need to stop warrantless surveillance and overhaul our laws to protect Americans’ privacy. stopaapihate.org/2023/09/13/ref…
@RepSaraJacobs has an NDAA amendment that would require Secretary of State concurrence for 1202 and 127e programs. I hope it gets the consideration it warrants and then passes -- esp. now that the admin has come out in favor of more interagency oversight. amendments-rules.house.gov/amendments/JAC…
@LizaGoitein No standing in Brown. 5-4 one way or the other on standing in Nebraska.
Section 702 is a surveillance tool that—when used responsibly—helps identify and counter foreign threats. However critical this tool is—its authority should not be renewed without significant reforms to safeguard Americans' privacy and constitutional rights.
“There is no doubt that Section 702 is a valuable tool for collecting foreign intelligence, but, as I have said for years, Section 702 also raises serious constitutional concerns.” WATCH Chair @SenatorDurbin deliver opening remarks in today's Committee hearing on Section 702:
Here's the key thing you didn't hear at today's hearing: "We couldn't have done this is FISA 702 had a warrant rule for US person queries" 702 is valuable, but reforms stop it from being used on BLM protester and political donors, not against cybercriminals and foreign agents
NEW: The U.S. government used controversial digital surveillance powers to ID the individual behind the ransomware attack on Colonial Pipeline and to claw back a majority of the millions of dollars in bitcoin the company paid to restore its systems. therecord.media/colonial-pipel…
This is a great example of why some emergency powers aren't dangerous but also aren't emergencies. Our regulatory structure is so messed up that making these drugs accessible requires an emergency. Maybe we should just make access easier!
With the end of the Covid-19 public-health emergency, independent cancer doctors can no longer send prescriptions directly to Medicare patients, creating hurdles for people in rural areas on.wsj.com/3P4sHvN
@RachelBLevinson @LizaGoitein We’ll have to write about this if we do another edition of Fault Lines.
Must-read on the coming political fight over U.S. surveillance powers. @LizaGoitein for @ForeignAffairs: foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…
The shocking example of "defensive searches" being an excuse to pull up the communications of 19,000 campaign donors should end the debate of whether a defensive search exception is safe or acceptable A consistent warrant rule is the only way to fix the backdoor search loophole
THREAD: Today new FISA 702 discloses confirm our worst fears. The FBI—already under scrutiny for a litany of compliance violations—has conducted warrantless queries targeted at political actors @DevlinBarrett has a good writeup, here are my key takeaways: washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
An FBI agent admitted to intentionally violating court-approved procedures governing warrantless searches for Americans' communications. He should have been fired. Instead, he was given additional training. Congress must not reauthorize FISA Section 702 without serious reforms.
For one 3-month period, 390 out of 473 violations involved unreported U.S. person queries. One agent said he always recorded his queries as non-US person queries “even if the facts indicated otherwise, e.g., identifiers for local businesses and mosques.” 19/22
