National Security
The Judiciary Committee oversees many of the laws, agencies, and programs that underpin our national security infrastructure. Whether debating the constitutional limits of executive power, examining the application of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or evaluating counterterrorism efforts at the Department of Justice and the FBI, the Committee is working to ensure that the government keeps Americans safe-and does so in a way that respects our civil liberties and reflects our values.

Supporters of this measure want to convince us a new, incredibly narrow warrant provision actually constitutes reform. It does not.

This Bill Continues Warrantless Access to Email and Phone Calls
House Democratic Ranking Members Eliot Engel, Maxine Waters, Jerrold Nadler, Bennie Thompson, Elijah Cummings and Robert Brady sent a letter to Speaker Ryan today urging House Republicans to join Democrats to fully investigate and address Russia's threat to our democracy and national security. This letter comes as we mark one year since the Office of the Director of National Intelligence's report confirming Russia's meddling into the 2016 election and America's continued vulnerability to foreign interference.
On Thursday, the House of Representatives will consider S. 139, a bill to reauthorize Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. This bill fails to accomplish any meaningful reform or provide any significant measure of privacy protections. S. 139 is a deeply flawed bill that ultimately jeopardizes the reauthorization of Section 702 altogether.
