Trump pushes for warrantless surveillance powers

President Donald Trump is calling on Congress to renew the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Section 702, a program that permits the warrantless surveillance of U.S. persons when targeting foreign intelligence. The push comes despite Trump's past complaints about government surveillance of his own campaign, marking a significant shift in his public stance on domestic spying powers. Critics argue the program poses a major threat to American privacy by bypassing traditional warrant requirements. The debate over reauthorization highlights ongoing tensions between national security interests and civil liberties.
