In a late-night session, the House of Representatives approved a 10-day extension of the FISA surveillance powers, following significant Republican infighting and the collapse of a longer-term renewal plan. The approval comes amid heightened tensions regarding the use of surveillance tools and their impact on privacy rights. Lawmakers faced a difficult decision, balancing national security concerns with calls for privacy protections. Despite opposition and calls for amendments to address warrantless searches, the House proceeded with a short-term extension to keep the surveillance law operational while further discussions continue.
