Nearly 150 House Republicans voted to extend a surveillance act on Thursday that Donald Trump claimed was used to "surveil and abuse" his 2016 presidential election campaign.
The annual Defense authorization bill to unlock $886 billion in Pentagon funding has now made its way through Congress and will appear before President Joe Biden to be signed into law. Included in the bill was a measure extending Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) until the middle of April.
FISA allows U.S. intelligence agencies to intercept communications involving suspected foreign agents and terrorists without a warrant, including any conversations they may have with American nationals. Court documents released this year revealed the FBI had been improperly searching this data for Americans, including individuals suspected of involvement with the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot and Black Lives Matter protests.

It was supposed to not be included in this package, but enough RINO's caved. The plan was for a stand alone plan for the surveillance package, but democrats can't do stand alone anything, so it got put in.
