House leaders are selling a new FISA deal as reform. A careful read shows the "Fourth Amendment" section bars conduct that's already illegal, the new oversight office is a fraction of what Patel just shuttered, and the FBI can still search Americans' comms without a warrant.

The Latest Push to Extend Key US Spy Powers Is Still a Mess

A US surveillance program that lets the FBI view Americans' communications without a warrant is up for renewal. A new bill aims to address mounting lawmaker concerns—with smoke and mirrors.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

I’ll continue fighting like hell to sound the alarm and throw up roadblocks. But if the thought of the Trump administration having these powers scares you, now’s the time to make your voice heard.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

The deadline to renew the law is coming up next week. Trump needs both Republicans AND Democrats to vote to reauthorize this law. Anyone with a pulse ought to see that in no world should Trump and Kash Patel have these powers.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

But rubber-stamping these powers for Donald Trump poses a unique and chilling threat to Americans’ most basic constitutional rights.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

702 abuses span across administrations and political spectrums. I’ve fought for reforms to Section 702 of FISA during every administration. This isn’t a red issue or a blue issue – it’s a civil liberties issue. Security and liberty aren’t mutually exclusive.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

Also in 2024, Congress expanded the range of who can be forced to comply with Section 702 surveillance orders. Your cable guy could be forced to install spyware on behalf of the government and help them surveil you.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

Stephen Miller is behind the Trump administration’s push to reauthorize 702. They have already designated “Antifa” organizations as foreign terrorist groups. It’s likely Miller will use 702 to surveil, target, and suppress activists on the left.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

In 2024, Congress expanded Section 702 to cover “illicit synthetic drugs.” I fear the Trump administration could target women living in states with abortion restrictions that get abortion medications from overseas providers.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

Here’s how I’m concerned the Trump administration could use it in the future if Congress reauthorizes it:

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

Those are the ways in which we KNOW this law has been abused. The takeaway here is that NO ONE’S personal information or communications are safe.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

The Trump administration has more than tripled the number of warrantless searches of political and religious figures and journalists. There were 227 of these searches in 2024. There were 839 in 2025.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

In 2022, the Biden administration used it to spy on a state court judge who reported police abuses to the FBI.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

In 2019, Trump used this law to spy on members of Congress.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

In 2022, an NSA employee used the 702 database to stalk women he met on dating apps.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

Also in 2021, the Biden administration used it to spy on 19,000 donors to a political campaign.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

In 2021, the Biden administration used 702 to search the communications of multiple government officials, journalists and political commentators.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

In 2020 Trump used 702 to spy on Black Lives Matter protestors.

Senator Ron Wyden@wyden.senate.govApr 23(source)

The NSA and FBI have been spying on you without a warrant using section 702 of FISA for decades. Trump wants Congress to renew the law. Here are concrete examples of how this law has been abused – across administrations – and why Congress shouldn't rubber-stamp it.

Senator Mike Lee and I disagree on a lot. But we both are deeply concerned about warrantless government surveillance of Americans. Read our op-ed in NYT below about how we can reform FISA Section 702 to protect our national security while upholding Americans’ constitutional rights.

Sen. Wyden: As of December, you are still appointing people who are trying to undermine [vaccine] policy. That’s not in the interest of families, and that’s why the presidents pollsters are telling him to isolate you and keep you from talking about it.
