U.S. Surveillance Program Set to Expire as Congress Fails to Pass Extension

The U.S. surveillance program under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire after Congress failed to pass an extension. The House voted against a proposed three-week extension, while opposition from Democrats regarding President Trump's intelligence chief appointment contributed to the deadlock. The program, which allows the government to collect intelligence on foreign individuals, has been credited with thwarting a terrorist attack.
