Section 102 of the USA Freedom Act, which I firstproposed in 2013,gave law enforcement and intelligence agencies new authorities to obtain records in an emergency and get court approval after the fact. It also ended the mass surveillance of law-abiding Americans, which violated core American rights without making our country any safer." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
