Core Summary
President Trump stated on June 14 that he opposes any renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that does not include his SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voting. The Senate rejected a short-term extension last Thursday.
Details
The SAVE America Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) passed the GOP-led House in February but faces uncertain prospects in the Senate. Trump has tied the voting bill to FISA Section 702 renewal, creating additional pressure on Republican congressional leaders.
FISA Section 702 is a key US foreign intelligence collection tool allowing warrantless surveillance of overseas targets. The provision faces expiration pressure in December.
