President Donald Trump is urging Congress to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), a program that allows U.S. intelligence agencies to collect the calls, texts, and emails of foreigners without a warrant. The program, which is set to expire, has been a point of contention due to privacy concerns and its implications for U.S. persons' communications. The push for renewal comes as Congress prepares to take up the divisive reauthorization. Trump's call aligns with his administration's focus on national security and intelligence-gathering capabilities.
