As the deadline to reauthorize the FISA surveillance law approaches, Congress is embroiled in intense debates and divisions over the recent appointment of Bill Pulte as Acting Director of National Intelligence by Trump. The backlash from lawmakers, particularly Democrats, threatens the extension of the surveillance program, with several Republicans also expressing concerns about the implications of allowing the program to lapse. Key figures warn that failure to act could lead to significant intelligence gaps, while others push for reforms on privacy. Amidst this tumult, discussions around immigration funding also continue on Capitol Hill as lawmakers consider various strategies to address the looming deadline.
