A key provision of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire Friday unless it is reauthorized by Congress. Section 702 allows for the warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals believed to be outside of the U.S., yet, in practice, it also sweeps up and stores vast amounts of data from people inside the country, including their emails, texts and cellphone data. The FISA provision was enacted in 2008 to legalize George W. Bush's warrantless wiretapping program that was developed after 9/11.
A bipartisan group of senators is opposing the reauthorization of Section 702 due to President Trump's naming of MAGA loyalist Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence, to replace Tulsi Gabbard, who announced her resignation in May. Pulte has no known background in intelligence. He currently serves as director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, where he has used his position to carry out Trump's campaign of retribution against his political enemies.
"It took this nomination of a completely unqualified guy to get enough members of Congress to really stop [Section 702]," says Cindy Cohn, executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. "It's time to take a look and listen hard about the privacy protections that are needed, at a minimum, for this program to go forward." Cohn notes that the "massive national security surveillance state that was built after 9/11 has always been a threat to freedom."

Hundreds of immigrants detained at the ICE jail known as Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, have been on a hunger and labor strike for nearly two weeks. They are protesting the conditions at the jail, including spoiled food that has had maggots in it, overcrowding and inadequate medical care. Detainees are also forced to work for around $1 per day. In retaliation against the strike, guards at Delaney Hall have reportedly beaten participants, and family visitation was temporarily suspended. The strikers are demanding their release from the ICE jail and that the most vulnerable populations are freed first.
Detainees' family members, along with immigration advocates and anti-ICE protesters, have been rallying outside Delaney Hall since the strike began. Democracy Now!'s María Taracena was outside Delaney on Tuesday. She spoke to a detainee who had just been released, a community organizer, a lawyer and family members who were waiting to visit their loved ones inside the ICE jail.
Police have erected barricades half a mile around Delaney Hall, "making it more and more difficult to go and visit those who are on labor and hunger strike," says Natalie, a New Jersey mutual aid organizer with the group Eyes on ICE. "I was trying to see my father. He recently got put in," says the daughter of a man being held in Delaney Hall. She is struggling to find legal support for her father. "He does not deserve to go to another country when he belongs in this one."
