FISA reauthorization heads to Biden’s desk after Senate passage

The article reports that the Senate approved a two-year extension of FISA Section 702 after a brief lapse, sending it to the President for signature. Supporters cite its intelligence value and added supervisory checks for FBI U.S.-person queries, while critics from both parties argue privacy safeguards are insufficient and object to an expanded definition of service providers. Several amendments to add warrant requirements narrowly failed, and lawmakers signaled the issue will be revisited when the authority expires again in two years.
