—
The House passed a bill on Friday to reauthorize federal spying powers on foreign targets until 2026, while voting down an amendment that would have required a warrant to search Americans’ data swept up in the process.
At least 126 Republicans and 147 Democrats voted to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which Congress enacted in 2008 to expand intelligence agencies’ ability to surveil non-US persons abroad who are linked to terrorism or may pose a national security threat.
