众议院规则委员会因共和党内讧无限期推迟审议该法案

福克斯新闻首席国会记者查德·珀格拉姆报道了为期13天的FISA延期法案。众议员本·克莱因（R-弗吉尼亚州）在《福克斯报道》节目中讨论了该法案以及弗吉尼亚州有争议的重划选区投票。
众议院共和党领导层正努力争取共和党隐私鹰派的支持，议员们正赶在周四的截止日期前延长一项强大的政府监视项目。
众议院规则委员会周二推迟了一项规则的审议程序，该规则原本将为全院就《外国情报监控法》（FISA）第702条延期的投票铺平道路，但共和党人仍在该项目上存在严重分歧。
该计划将把这部间谍法延期三年，同时为滥用FISA搜查行为制定新的处罚条款。不过，该法案并未纳入共和党隐私鹰派所期望的搜查令要求，这些鹰派希望采纳更严格的隐私保护措施。
委员会推迟审议行动让人怀疑，众议院议长迈克·约翰逊（R-路易斯安那州）能否在该法案于4月30日失效前推动其通过。

共和党议员：众议院将于周五上午就“极为相似”的支出法案进行投票
众议院通过FISA续约法案的重重障碍也可能让参议院率先采取行动，迫使众议院接受参议院通过的任何版本法案。参议院定于周二晚些时候就一项三年期延期法案进行程序性投票。
众议院规则委员会的民主党人抨击共和党无限期推迟审议该法案，此前共和党推迟了原定于周二上午举行的、为这项程序性法案铺路的会议。该委员会最初在周一晚间休会，当时已进行了数小时的会议，以便给共和党人更多时间达成协议。
“我们等了一整夜，就为了共和党人就本周的程序性规则达成——他们内部的——协议，民主党人出席了上午8点的规则委员会会议，”马萨诸塞州民主党众议员吉姆·麦戈文在社交媒体上写道。“不出所料，我们到场后被告知仍然没有达成协议。
“他们的混乱和他们的无能不相上下，”他补充道。
停滞不前的程序性规则还推迟了一项为移民执法提供资金的预算蓝图，以及一项名为《农业法案》的、授权农业和营养优先事项的综合性法案的审议，共和党领导层希望本周在全院通过该法案。
此前已两次否决共和党领导层提出的提案的众议院保守派人士，目前仍拒绝支持续签第702条，除非相关改革得以通过。

约翰逊在关键投票前因无搜查令监视权力面临共和党反叛
该间谍工具允许政府监视境外使用美国平台的外国人，即使这些通信涉及美国公民。长期以来，保守派和进步派人士都主张对该项目进行改革，要求情报官员在查看美国公民的数据前获得搜查令。
几名共和党议员周一批评领导层的提案只是对最初的18个月延期法案的小幅修改，该法案此前在众议院被否决。
“实际上，我们所做的是沿用两年前的现有法律改进措施，对处罚条款和部分FISA透明度规则做出一些改进……但在针对美国公民的无搜查令监视的搜查令保护方面没有进一步推进，”众议院自由核心小组（HFC）关键成员、德克萨斯州共和党众议员奇普·罗伊在众议院规则委员会就该法案进行辩论时表示。
众议院自由核心小组的成员试图在法案中加入搜查令要求以及禁止中央银行数字货币（CBDC）的条款——他们表示，这些政策是争取他们投票的关键。
“即使我们正在努力纠正FISA的错误和滥用行为，永久禁止针对我们同胞的终极监视工具——中央银行数字货币，也至关重要，”德克萨斯州共和党众议员迈克尔·克劳德在一份声明中告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。
特朗普政府一直在推动无附加条件续签该项目，称该法律对国家安全至关重要。这部间谍法的支持者称赞其能够收集情报，阻止潜在的恐怖袭击和毒品贩运。
共和党知名隐私鹰派、俄亥俄州众议员沃伦·戴维森上周在社交媒体上发文表示支持这项三年期FISA延期法案。
“总体而言，这套改革措施为美国公民提供了强有力的隐私保护。国会应该抓住这次胜利，续签第702条，”戴维森说。“然后，我们应该迅速着手削弱在这场702条款斗争中 unchecked 发展的、毫无节制的监视国家。”

众议院民主党领导层周一提前公布了他们对共和党FISA续约计划的反对意见。广泛的民主党反对意味着，在最早可能于周二下午举行的关键程序性投票中，约翰逊仅能容忍少数共和党议员倒戈。
“这种监视机制可能会被 Kash Patel 这类人物和代理司法部长滥用，”众议院少数党领袖、纽约州民主党众议员哈基姆·杰弗里斯在周一的新闻发布会上表示。“这些人将刑事司法系统武器化，根本不能信任他们保护美国人民的隐私和公民自由。”
Mike Johnson faces revolt from GOP privacy hawks threatening to kill FISA renewal as deadline looms

The House Rules Committee indefinitely postponed consideration of the measure due to Republican infighting

Fox News chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram reports on the 13-day FISA extension. Rep. Ben Cline, R-Va., discusses the measure and Virginia’s controversial redistricting vote on ‘Fox Report.’
House GOP leadership is struggling to win over GOP privacy hawks as lawmakers race to extend a powerful government surveillance program ahead of Thursday’s deadline.
The House Rules Committee on Tuesday postponed consideration of a rule teeing up a chamber-wide vote on an extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) as Republicans remain sharply divided over the program.
The plan would renew the spy law for three years while enacting new penalties for abuses of FISA searches. The measure, however, stops short of incorporating a warrant requirement desired by GOP privacy hawks, who want the adoption of tougher privacy guardrails.
The postponed committee action raises doubts about whether House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., can pass an extension of the law before it lapses on April 30.

HOUSE VOTE ON ‘VERY SIMILAR’ SPENDING BILL EXPECTED FRIDAY MORNING, GOP LAWMAKER SAYS
The mounting obstacles to passing a FISA renewal in the House could also allow the Senate to act first and force the lower chamber to swallow whatever it passes. The Senate is scheduled to hold a procedural vote on a three-year extension bill later on Tuesday.
Democrats on the House Rules Committee blasted Republicans for indefinitely postponing consideration of the measure after punting a previously scheduled Tuesday morning meeting to take up the procedural measure. The panel initially adjourned on Monday evening after an hours-long session to allow for more time for Republicans to reach a deal.
“After waiting around all night for Republicans to make a deal — with themselves — on a procedural rule for the week, Democrats showed up to the Rules Committee for an 8 a.m. meeting,” Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., wrote on social media. “Unsurprisingly, when we showed up, we were told there is still no deal.
“Their chaos is only matched by their incompetence,” he added.
The stalled rule also delays consideration of a budget blueprint to fund immigration enforcement and a sweeping bill authorizing agriculture and nutrition priorities known as the farm bill, which GOP leadership is hoping to pass on the floor this week.
House conservatives, who voted down two previous proposals offered by GOP leadership, have so far withheld their support for reauthorizing Section 702 absent reforms.

JOHNSON FACES GOP REVOLT OVER WARRANTLESS SURVEILLANCE POWERS AHEAD OF KEY VOTE
The spy tool allows the government to surveil foreigners abroad who use U.S. platforms even when those communications involve Americans. A mix of conservatives and progressives have long advocated for changes to the program to force intelligence officials to obtain a warrant prior to reviewing Americans’ data.
Several conservative lawmakers on Monday criticized leadership’s proposal as a minor reworking of the original 18-month extension bill that failed on the House floor.
“Really what we’re doing is taking existing law improvements based on two years ago, making some improvements on penalties and on some FISA transparency… but not going further with respect to warrant protections for American citizens on warrantless surveillance,” Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, a key member of the House Freedom Caucus (HFC), said during debate on the measure in the House Rules Committee.
HFC members have sought to add a warrant requirement and language banning a central bank digital currency (CBDC) to the bill — policies they say are critical to winning their votes.
“Even as we are working to right the wrongs and abuses of FISA, it is important we permanently ban what would be the ultimate surveillance tool against our fellow citizens, a central bank digital currency,” Rep. Michael Cloud, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital in a statement.
The Trump administration has pushed for a clean reauthorization of the program, citing the law’s critical national security role. Proponents of the spy law have hailed its ability to gather intelligence that has stopped potential terrorist attacks and drug trafficking.
Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, a notable GOP privacy hawk, offered his support for the three-year FISA extension during a post on social media last week.
“Collectively, this set of reforms provides robust privacy protections for American citizens. Congress should bank this win and reauthorize Section 702,” Davidson said. “Then, we should swiftly begin gutting the unmitigated surveillance state left growing unchecked during these 702 fights.”

House Democratic leadership previewed their objections to Republicans’ FISA reauthorization plan on Monday. Widespread Democratic opposition means Johnson could afford to spare just a handful of GOP defections during a critical procedural vote that could occur as early as Tuesday afternoon.
“This surveillance mechanism could be abused by the likes of individuals like Kash Patel and the acting attorney general,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said during a news conference Monday. “These people have weaponized the criminal justice system, and they simply cannot be trusted to protect the privacy and the civil liberties of the American people.”
