Fox News
A group of House Republicans led by Matt Gaetz is pushing for Congress to allow the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to expire at the end of 2023.
"I think most folks are increasingly concerned about centralized power with our national security apparatus, given how political they've become," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who will introduce a resolution Tuesday calling for an end to FISA, told Fox News Digital. Elizabeth Elkind is a politics reporter for Fox News Digital.
"I take great lengths in my legislation to point out that it's both left-wing groups like BLM, and it's also folks who were at the Capitol on January 6, who have seen their rights unfairly violated by FISA, and I'm equally aggrieved by both," Rep. Gaetz said.
Section 702 of FISA allows surveillance of non-U.S. citizens overseas, and when U.S. citizens are flagged in these investigations, the FBI takes over and can run a query on them for possible security issues.
