House Speaker Mike Johnson's stance on reforming federal surveillance tool Section 702 of FISA

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., is caught in a fight about reforming a key federal surveillance tool, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows the government to surveil communications of non-Americans overseas with suspected links to terrorism without a warrant. Johnson cautions against an amendment on warrant requirements, arguing that the current bill, the Reforming Intelligence and Securing America (RISA) Act, already carries necessary reforms to prevent abuse of Section 702.
