Oppose extending FISA Section 702 while Bill Pulte or another unqualified temporary appointee has authority over sensitive intelligence, and revisit the extension only after the administration withdraws Pulte and installs a qualified DNI leader.

New Dems will not vote in favor of extending FISA if our most sensitive intelligence can be manipulated by a wholly unqualified and biased individual with none of the experience required of the Director of National Intelligence. We will await the opportunity to revisit the FISA extension once the Administration withdraws Pulte’s temporary appointment and places someone qualified and serious in the DNI role.

Cisneros joined New Democrat leaders in committing not to support a FISA extension while Bill Pulte holds authority over sensitive intelligence, saying they would revisit the extension after Pulte is withdrawn and a qualified DNI leader is in place.
