House and Senate conservatives on Wednesday sounded the alarm on a potential move by congressional leadership to extend a deep state surveillance law in a defense bill.

“Reauthorization of FISA can’t be hooked to anything. The federal GOV has spied on Americans [who] decided to go to Church or you went to a school board meeting. This needs to end. Reauthorization needs to stand on its own, and have significant reform,” House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry (R-PA) said during a press conference with the House Freedom Caucus and Senate conservatives. 

The conservatives held their press conference as congressional leaders are contemplating passing a temporary extension of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), which conservatives vehemently oppose.

Breitbart News reported that House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) opposes any extension of Section 702 in the NDAA.

Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said there is “no reason” for a temporary authorization of Section 702.
