ICYMI: Rep. Ronny Jackson Advocates for FISA Section 702 Reform and Reauthorization

WASHINGTON - Last week, Representative Ronny Jackson (TX-13) delivered remarks on the House floor advocating for reform and reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), emphasizing its vital role in protecting national security while maintaining strong oversight and accountability.

Rep. Jackson highlighted 56 reforms to Section 702 implemented by House Republicans in 2024, noting that last week's House-passed reauthorization measure adds further safeguards to ensure the tool is used precisely to target dangerous foreign threats.

"Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is a unique and critical tool that enables our Intelligence Community to gather vital intelligence, protect our national security, and safeguard Americans from terrorist attacks," said Rep. Jackson. "No other foreign intelligence authority can replace the speed and agility of Section 702. If this authority expires, we will substantially degrade U.S. national security and our intelligence officers' ability to identify foreign threats in real-time."
