June 9 - A U.S. surveillance law that allows federal authorities to collect the communications of foreigners abroad and search them for Americans’ data without a warrant is set to expire on June 12, amid debate over warrant rules and President Donald Trump’s planned appointment of a political loyalist as acting Director of National Intelligence.
A key U.S. surveillance statute, Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, is scheduled to expire on June 12. This law permits the government to gather communications from non-U.S. individuals located outside the United States.
