A looming deadline looms over Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a controversial program that has enabled mass surveillance for decades. This authority, set to expire on April 20th, is at the center of a heated debate between those who advocate for its reform and those seeking to maintain its status quo. A bipartisan coalition of progressives and hard-right members of Congress are pushing for changes, citing concerns about privacy violations and potential abuse by the Trump administration. However, powerful figures in both parties are resisting such reforms, leading to a tense standoff as the clock ticks down to the deadline.
