A critical U.S. intelligence tool is about to expire — and Congress must decide whether to act.

Section 702 of FISA allows intelligence agencies to track foreign threats, disrupt terrorist plots, and respond to cyberattacks. Officials say it plays a role in a majority of the intelligence briefings given to top leaders.

At a time of rising global threats, weakening these capabilities could put Americans at risk.

While concerns about oversight exist, letting this program expire entirely would remove a key line of defense against terrorism, espionage, and cybercrime.

We are calling on Congress and President Trump to renew FISA 702 and ensure intelligence agencies have the tools they need to protect the country.
