Sen. John Thune is warning that allowing FISA Section 702 authorities to expire could have serious consequences for U.S. national security. Thune argues that intelligence gathered through the program has helped prevent terrorist attacks, support major drug investigations, and provide critical information to law enforcement and intelligence agencies. With a key deadline approaching, lawmakers remain divided over whether to reauthorize the surveillance authority, setting up a major debate over security, privacy, and government intelligence powers. #JohnThune #FISA #NationalSecurity #USSenate #Politics #Congress #Intelligence #Terrorism #BorderSecurity #BreakingNews
