Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) is organizing what may be the last chance for the U.S. House of Representatives to implement warrant requirements in a set of U.S. domestic surveillance tools established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) after a key amendment failed on a tie vote last week.

Members of Congress have been deliberating whether to reauthorize certain sections of FISA, including Section 702—a provision allowing warrantless surveillance of foreign nationals’ communications, but through which the communications of U.S. citizens may also be swept up.
