Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) has been a controversial provision that allows the U.S. government to conduct warrantless surveillance of communications, including those involving U.S. persons. The original deadline to reform or reauthorize Section 702 was set for April 30, 2026. However, this deadline has now been extended by 10 days, providing more time for advocacy groups and civil liberties organizations to continue their efforts to push for meaningful reforms to this surveillance program.
