The US Government Is Hiding a Secret Court Ruling About How It Spies on Americans

Two US senators allege the Trump administration is unlawfully withholding a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court decision while seeking Congressional renewal of a broad surveillance program. The senators contend that secrecy around the ruling undermines lawmakers' ability to make informed decisions on the reauthorization.

Why it matters: Practitioners and security teams need to track FISA authorities and surveillance legal constraints because they affect data privacy protections, vendor obligations to disclose government requests, and compliance with customer data commitments.
