Bipartisan majorities in Congress have BLOCKED the extension of a spying loophole championed by Stephen Miller. The Trump administration is scrambling, and now, we need to keep up the pressure to protect our privacy.

This is big, Pamela: A gaping legal loophole that allowed the government to spy on all of us just closed when both chambers of Congress refused to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA).
Stephen Miller has long been a vocal proponent of extending an era of warrantless surveillance on our electronic communications without any privacy protections. A data broker loophole allows administrations like Trump’s to conduct sweeping backdoor searches, accessing the private communications of millions of people at home — calls, texts, and emails like this one.
Section 702 has been used to spy on protestors, political dissidents, and journalists. But in advance of its expiration, activists like you, organizations like ours, and champions on Capitol Hill spoke out. Now, bipartisan majorities in both the House and Senate have created an unprecedented impasse by allowing the law to expire.
What happens next will be crucial — and we expect Trump and Miller to turn up the heat. That’s why we need to get louder and send Congress a resounding reminder to keep holding the line and block an extension of warrantless surveillance.
