April 10, 2024, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement urging House passage of an amendment to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Section 702 reauthorization that “[p]rohibits warrantless searches of U.S. person communications in the FISA 702 database, with exceptions for imminent threats to life or bodily harm, consent searches, or known cybersecurity threat signatures”:
“The election interference by the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the fraudulent Russian collusion using the secret FISA Court demand real reforms. With FISA reauthorization now up for consideration, the House of Representatives will either make a stand in favor of America’s Fourth Amendment protections against warrantless searches by supporting the Biggs amendment or they will fail to do their duty to uphold the Constitution. If they fail, it will be a stain on the body, where they chose purported security over our basic freedoms. Americans for Limited Government strongly urges House members to vote for the Biggs amendment to the FISA reform bill which disallows warrantless searches.”
