FISA Section 702 is expiring on April 20.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The White House<\/strong> and Speaker <strong>Mike Johnson<\/strong> are pushing hard for the extension, with a floor fight set for today. It\u2019s going to be tight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Democrats on the Rules Committee <\/strong>blasted Republicans for considering the FISA measure under <a href=\"https:\/\/rules.house.gov\/sites\/evo-subsites\/republicans-rules.house.gov\/files\/documents\/rule_hr8035.pdf\">a closed rule<\/a> with no amendments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Democrats unsuccessfully sought<\/strong> to make in order <a href=\"https:\/\/amendments-rules.house.gov\/amendments\/BIGGS_110_xml260414123232480.pdf?_gl=1*b5o4cq*_ga*NjM0NjYwMjg1LjE3NjE4NTQzNjE.*_ga_N4RTJ5D08B*czE3NzYyMTg4NzckbzgkZzEkdDE3NzYyMTk3ODMkajYwJGwwJGgw\">an amendment<\/a> from Rep. <strong>Andy Biggs <\/strong>(R-Ariz.) and other conservatives adding warrant requirements to the surveillance law. An identical proposal <a href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/archive\/41224-punchbowl-news-midday\/\">failed dramatically<\/a> 212-212 in April 2024 during a prior FISA floor fight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three GOP members <\/strong>of the Rules Committee who <a href=\"https:\/\/clerk.house.gov\/evs\/2024\/roll114.xml\">supported<\/a> the provision then \u2014 Republican Reps. <strong>Chip Roy <\/strong>(Texas), <strong>Ralph Norman <\/strong>(S.C.) and <strong>Morgan Griffith <\/strong>(Va.) \u2014 weren\u2019t present for the committee vote after participating earlier in the hearing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI can\u2019t believe<\/strong> you\u2019re doing this,\u201d said Rep. <strong>Jim McGovern <\/strong>(D-Mass.), ranking member of the Rules Committee.<mark style=\"color:#05294b\" class=\"has-inline-color\"> <\/mark>\u201cThis is wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>So can the House <\/strong>pass this rule? There\u2019s some buzz GOP leaders may try to amend the rule on the floor. We\u2019ll see this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If Republican leaders <\/strong>can\u2019t pass the rule<strong>, <\/strong>Johnson needs an off ramp. We asked him Tuesday night if he\u2019d be open to extending FISA for 12 months instead of 18 months. Johnson said he\u2019s focused on reauthorizing the program and isn\u2019t worried about the length of the authorization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Johnson can try <\/strong>to bring this bill up under suspension of the rules, but Democrats would need to vote en masse for the measure. That seems extremely unlikely at this point.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rep. Gregory Meeks <\/strong>(N.Y.), top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, is leaning toward supporting a clean FISA extension after working with Rep. <strong>Jim Himes<\/strong> (Conn.), the top Intelligence Committee Democrat. Rep. <strong>Adam Smith <\/strong>(D-Wash.), ranking member of the Armed Services Committee, said he\u2019s \u201cundecided\u201d but \u201cdeeply concerned\u201d about giving President <strong>Donald Trump<\/strong> more power.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some conservatives <\/strong>appear dug in against any clean FISA extension. Rep. <strong>Andy Harris <\/strong>(R-Md.), chair of the House Freedom Caucus, predicted that \u201cif it\u2019s clean,\u201d the rule will go down today. Harris said he had no plans to meet with Trump<strong> <\/strong>on the issue.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI know the White House<\/strong> position. I disagree with it,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CIA Director John Ratcliffe<\/strong> \u2014 a former House member \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JakeSherman\/status\/2044175460867682463?s=20\">will attend<\/a> the GOP Conference meeting today to help sell the extension.<\/p>\n<p><mark style=\"color:#cb4697\" class=\"has-inline-color pink-text\"><strong>Reconciliation latest.<\/strong><\/mark> Across the Capitol, Senate Majority Leader <strong>John Thune <\/strong>is betting that his conference will eventually get behind a narrow reconciliation effort to fund ICE and Border Patrol by giving them no other choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thune has Trump\u2019s backing<\/strong> as he resists a push by many Senate Republicans to expand the bill\u2019s scope, insisting this will over-complicate and slow down the process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But a wide range<\/strong> of House Republicans \u2014 who are already conditioning re-opening the Department of Homeland Security on the Senate\u2019s reconciliation progress \u2014 blasted Thune\u2019s approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>House Ways and Means Committee Chair Jason Smith<\/strong> (R-Mo.) warned that pots of money for ICE and Border Patrol \u201caren\u2019t really popular things\u201d with Americans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf you\u2019re going<\/strong> to pass a reconciliation bill, it needs to be one that addresses the concerns of the American people, and affordability is the concern I hear more than anything,\u201d Smith told us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Republicans<\/strong> are skeptical that a third reconciliation effort for other GOP priorities will actually materialize, so they don\u2019t want this opportunity to go to waste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>And some deficit hawks<\/strong> say they may want offsets for ICE and Border Patrol funding, although GOP leaders\u2019 argument that appropriations bills are never paid for has been mostly convincing for these members.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thune is already<\/strong> facing internal backlash from GOP senators along similar lines. <a href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/article\/senate\/senate-gop-skeptical-skinny-bill\/\">Some Republican senators,<\/a> such as Sen. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AndrewDesiderio\/status\/2044128374898180377\">Ted Cruz<\/a><\/strong> (R-Texas), want to use reconciliation to combat the GOP\u2019s increasingly grim outlook for the midterms.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is what <\/strong>Thune has to navigate as he seeks to pass a budget resolution \u2014 the first step in the process \u2014 as soon as next week. That will require support from at least 50 of the 53 GOP senators.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even if <\/strong>Senate Republicans can keep the budget blueprint \u201cskinny,\u201d Johnson will need to decide whether that\u2019s enough to finally hold a vote on the Senate-passed bill to reopen the rest of DHS. It\u2019s been two weeks since Johnson caved to Thune and said he\u2019d move to pass the Senate bill. Johnson\u2019s delay has left Senate GOP leaders dumbfounded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So if Johnson\u2019s conference <\/strong>isn\u2019t satisfied with the Senate\u2019s reconciliation path, that throws into question the rest of the department\u2019s funding.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014  Briana Reilly, Anthony Adragna, Andrew Desiderio, Laura Weiss and Jake Sherman<\/em><\/p>\n<p><mark style=\"color:#cb4697\" class=\"has-inline-color pink-text\"><strong>Join Punchbowl News Texts! <\/strong><\/mark>Get the latest news directly from the Capitol to your phone.
