House Freedom Caucus Launches Campaign Demanding FISA 702 Reform Before June 12 Expiration

The House Freedom Caucus launched a "Don't Spy on Me" video campaign on June 1, setting three conditions for any FISA Section 702 reauthorization ahead of the June 12 expiration: a judicial warrant requirement for U.S.-person queries, a permanent CBDC ban, and repeal of a Biden-era vehicle kill-switch provision 123. The Senate had earlier rejected a House compromise bill containing those demands, returning a clean short-term extension that the House subsequently passed 13. The Hill reported that Sens. Tom Cotton and Chuck Grassley are now proposing a long-term clean extension paired with only a temporary CBDC ban, a formulation caucus members are also rejecting 4. Senate allies Mike Lee, Rick Scott, and Rand Paul publicly called for mandatory reforms or outright expiration before any reauthorization 13.
