The bill fully repeals the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), prohibits warrantless surveillance of American citizens, and holds accountable any federal official who violates the law. “We cannot continue to provide our government with clandestine spying powers that violate the Fourth Amendment rights of Americans,” said Congressman Andy Biggs.“It’s imperative to have a surveillance apparatus to address national security concerns, but it also must protect Americans’ constitutional rights. “This legislation is necessary as we’ve uncovered countless numbers of FISA system abuse in recent years. From the Obama Administration weaponizing it to sabotage Trump campaign officials to the FBI exploiting it to target millions of law-abiding Americans who were neither suspected of crimes nor national security concerns, FISA abuse is rampant and occurring at all levels in this country. “We cannot allow rogue and power-hungry individuals to repeat constitutional violations of American citizens. This legislation will prevent the government from infringing on our sacred Fourth Amendment rights.” The legislation may be read here. Original co-sponsors include: Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), Rep. Paul Gosar (R-Ariz.), and Rep. Bob Good (R-Va.). | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |
