Surveillance has caught hackers and fentanyl smugglers
By NOMAAN MERCHANT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. has used electronic surveillance
programs to catch fentanyl smugglers and the hackers who
temporarily shut down a major U.S. fuel pipeline, the White
House said Tuesday as part of its push to have those programs
renewed by Congress. Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act expires at the end of this year.
President Joe Biden’s administration is trying to convince Con-
gress to renew the law, which authorizes spy agencies to cap-
ture huge swaths of foreign emails and phone calls. But lawmak-
ers in both parties have concerns about protecting Americans’
privacy from warrantless searches after a series of FBI errors and
misuses of intelligence data.
As part of its public campaign, the Biden administration re-
leased what it said were newly declassified examples of how
U.S. intelligence uses Section 702. And the FBI announced new
penalties for employees who misuse intelligence data in ad-
vance of a Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday during which
both Democrats and Republicans rebuked the bureau. Senate Judiciary Oversight Committee Chair Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., speaks during a

surveillance authorities, Tuesday, June 13, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington.
