Are you aware that the FBI, CIA, and NSA are using Section 702 data This violates our Fourth Amendment’s protection
Unconstitutional Warrantless Backdoor Searches are currently happening in our government. Therefore, we are looking to the 119th Congress (2025 – 2026) to pass a warrant requirement for Section 702 of FISA. Let’s keep our Bill of Rights in tact! Can we count on you to contact both the House & Senate Committee on Intelligence about this soon? See below.
Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) of 1978, enacted as part of the 2008 FISA Amendments Act, authorizes warrantless surveillance of non-U.S. citizens located outside the United States for foreign intelligence purposes. However, it has become controversial due to how it can also implicate Americans’ communications, such as emails, text messages, and other data. Do you remember when FISA was abused when they came after President Trump? Section 702 (50 U.S.C. § 1881a) was supposed to target foreign nationals, but the surveillance can inadvertently capture communications involving U.S. citizens which can lead to unconstitutional backdoor searches. Agencies like the FBI have conducted searches of this incidentally collected data to find information about U.S. persons without obtaining a warrant. Looking at the numbers in a 2021 Director of National Intelligence DNI report, we see that the FBI conducted up to 3.4 million searches of Americans’ communications that year. That’s MILLIONS of people affected in 2021 alone. And once the information is captured, it’s retained! The DNI was designed to unify and coordinate what the PATRIOT Act had expanded … surveillance and intelligence gathering. The PATRIOT Act enabled:
So, DNI authority overlaps with PATRIOT Act-era surveillance powers. Pay Attention! Remember, Edward Snowden’s 2013 revelations exposed a vast, secret surveillance apparatus operated by the U.S. government AND directly tied together the NSA, FISA Section 702, the PATRIOT Act, and oversight roles involving the DNI. James Clapper was DNI at that time and came under fire for giving misleading testimony to Congress, denying the mass collection of Americans’ data. In April 2024, Congress reauthorized Section 702 for two years, and its expiration is set for April 2026, but in 2024 there were bipartisan opposition and concerns about warrantless surveillance that was occurring. Also, proposals for reforms requiring warrants for U.S. person queries (searches) failed to pass in the final version of the bill. According to the Hill, this ended up being a tied vote, 212-212, so unfortunately, the warrant requirement was not adopted in the House. So, as of now, the FBI and other agencies may continue to query/ search 702 data for U.S. persons without a court warrant, under “so-called” internal guidelines and oversight. In January 2025, a landmark ruling by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York found that the FBI’s warrantless searches of Americans’ communications collected under Section 702 violated the Fourth Amendment. The case, United States v. Hasbajrami, highlighted the constitutional issues surrounding backdoor searches. Here’s what U.S. Rep. Jim Jordan had to say, “We can deal with foreign threats without violating Americans’ rights.”
We can see that expansions of government surveillance powers have gotten out of hand! Covert actions must be brought under control, and the FBI needs to start with reform. Kash Patel, the new FBI director has acknowledged past abuses of Section 702 authority but emphasized that the issue lies with individuals who have misused the system rather than the statute itself. Sorry, Mr. Patel, but Americans are demanding for our Fourth Amendment Rights to be applied at all times, in every case, because the Fourth Amendment protects us against unreasonable searches and seizures. So, without that amendment, Americans will NOT have proper constitutional rights that grant us true liberty. Surely we know that the government’s surveillance power will always be subject to abuse UNLESS a warrant is required. The fundamental role of warrants puts a check on government power, especially in this dreaded race for technological advancements. Reform to FISA surveillance is desperately needed, so if you believe we should balance national security interests with the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens, let’s take action IMMEDIATELY and see that a warrant requirement is passed:
So, Americans’ facial data can be incidentally collected and later searched without a warrant. If no warrant is required, the FBI can run facial searches of U.S. citizens using photos in FISA/702 data. The malevolent process of biometric data collection is expanding rapidly with minimal public transparency, dear readers. Many states are seeing the dangers and are now enacting facial recognition laws. Last year, Maryland and Utah passed state laws requiring warrants for facial recognition. Arkansans, please take note: three of our congressional crew (highlighted in orange below) are involved in these Intelligence Committees, so let’s keep a close eye on them and see how constitutional this turns out to be in the near future! They must be contacted quickly. PROTECT THE FOURTH AMENDMENT! You can follow the Senate here, so check in with them from time to time and follow their bills. Or follow senate.gov here. Please help contact the federal politicians below: The Director of National Intelligence (DNI), Tulsi Gabbard, is chief of all 17 intelligence agencies, and she leads the U.S. Intelligence Community and acts as the principal intelligence advisor to the President, the National Security Council, and the Homeland Security Council. We are counting on her to uphold our Fourth Amendment Rights and ensure compliance with privacy for all Americans. It’s for our safety and our freedoms!
