House Vote on FISA Bill Postponed Amid GOP Disagreements

Speaker Mike Johnson delays the vote on the FISA bill after facing opposition from GOP lawmakers, highlighting internal party conflicts over surveillance reforms.

Speaker Mike Johnson was forced to delay a House vote on renewing Section 702 of the FISA due to opposition from a bloc of GOP lawmakers.
The controversy centers around amendments proposed by Rep. Warren Davidson, which critics argue could undermine the bill's national security utility.
The House Intelligence Committee and Judiciary Committee clashed over the bill's text, leading to the postponement of the vote.
Pro-reform lawmakers, including both Republicans and Democrats, pushed for stronger privacy protections, including a warrant requirement for surveillance of Americans.
The bill's consideration is deferred to a later date, with Section 702 set to expire on April 19.
