Late last night, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a two-week extension for Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Act after a group of 20 Republicans blocked efforts to renew the controversial provision for longer periods.

The program is set to lapse Monday, prompting lawmakers to pass the short-term patch by unanimous consent just before 2 a.m. A bloc of Republicans had previously stopped attempts at a five-year renewal and an 18-month extension, leaving only two weeks of authorization until April 30.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) had been working to secure a clean five-year extension with reforms after postponing an initial vote Wednesday. However, his efforts were hindered by Republican opposition that included members pushing for more substantial reform and representatives on the House Intelligence Committee who advocated straight reauthorization.

Following multiple failed attempts, including a procedural vote on an 18-month renewal that fell short in a 197-228 count with 20 Republicans voting against it and four Democratic members—Reps. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Wash.), Jared Golden (Maine), Josh Gottheimer (N.J.), and Tom Suozzi (N.Y.)—casting votes to support the rule, lawmakers moved quickly to pass the two-week extension.

“Last night between midnight and 2 a.m., they tried to pass two bad versions of FISA… Both would have allowed Feds to unconstitutionally spy on Americans. We stopped both versions, but the fight isn’t over. Eventually, it was decided to give them two more weeks to fix FISA,” said Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY).

Johnson noted: “We were very close tonight… There’s some nuances with the language and some questions that need to be answered, and we’ll get it done. The extension allows us the time to do that.”
