WASHINGTON, D.C—Early this morning, Senate Republican leadership failed to advance a bill renewing Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), after facing resistance from a bipartisan coalition that is demanding greater privacy reforms like a warrant requirement. On a press call today, the ACLU and Demand Progress will lay out the next steps on FISA as we head toward the June 12 deadline and also discuss:
-
The privacy protection amendments that are needed in order to renew FISA
-
Why this fight is bigger than just the appointment of Bill Pulte
-
The need for Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA), the lead Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, to go further than just opposing Pulte by demanding a new warrant requirement
-
Why FISA actually won’t “go dark” on June 12
WHAT: A press call with ACLU and Demand Progress on Section 702 of FISA, which expires next Friday
WHEN: 4 PM ET on Friday, June 5, 2026
