The House fails to pass a last-minute, short-term extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which allows warrantless surveillance targeting non-U.S. persons for foreign intelligence purposes. Multiple outlets report the bill falls short of the votes needed, increasing the likelihood that the authority lapses as scheduled. ABC News reports the expiration is imminent, with Section 702 set to expire on Friday. The New York Times and The Hill describe the House vote as insufficient to secure a temporary continuation, pushing the measure’s prospects toward a lapse. The Verge adds that Congress has not approved the reported three-week extension and that the House voted against reauthorizing Section 702, with earlier short-term extensions having already been approved earlier in the year. The outlets also note that the House proceeds into a scheduled recess before the deadline, further reducing the time available to act. Overall, sources agree that lawmakers do not reach agreement on the short-term renewal, leaving the surveillance authority set to pause at least briefly unless Congress acts before the expiration.
