I will not support extending a program that is already being used to conduct backdoor searches on Americans without a warrant. We need guardrails ... We need reforms now to protect Americans from unconstitutional surveillance. I remain committed to working with my colleagues to add guardrails that will protect both our national security and civil liberties.
Oppose extending FISA Section 702 without guardrails and push for reforms that protect Americans from unconstitutional surveillance.
Occurrences
I am again voting NO on FISA.
While I have supported FISA in the past, I cannot in good faith support this reauthorization now because of this administration’s track record of violating the civil liberties of U.S. citizens, especially when it comes to federal agencies illegally invading the privacy of Americans. I cannot support a bill that allows the government to spy on Americans without a judicial warrant.
Evidence
The clerk's roll call shows Correa (D-CA) voted Aye on the Biggs amendment requiring warrants for Section 702 queries; the amendment failed 212-212.
The clerk's final-passage roll call shows Correa voted Aye on H.R. 7888, the Section 702 reauthorization package that included reforms; it passed 273-147.
The House failed 198-218 to pass a short-term Section 702 extension, and Democrats said reauthorization would require meaningful reforms; the article says the law is set to lapse while the FISA court certification keeps collection operating temporarily.
Assessments
Correa took meaningful same-term action consistent with the promise: he voted for a warrant requirement on Section 702 queries and supported a reauthorization vehicle only after reforms were added, which shows opposition to a clean extension and active support for guardrails. But the key warrant amendment failed, and the overall outcome did not clearly deliver the full reform level promised to protect Americans from unconstitutional surveillance. That supports partial credit for material reform efforts, not full delivery.
