The House has approved a short-term renewal until April 30 of a controversial surveillance program used by U.S. spy agencies. The action came in a post-midnight session Friday after Republicans revolted and refused President Donald Trump’s push for a longer extension. Republican leaders late Thursday had rushed out last-minute changes and called lawmakers back for a middle-of-the-night vote. Their proposal would have extended the program for five years with revisions. But the effort collapsed. At the center of the standoff is Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which permits the CIA, National Security Agency, FBI and other agencies to collect and analyze vast amounts of overseas communications without a warrant.
A 10-day ceasefire announced by U.S. President Donald Trump and agreed on by Lebanon and Israel appeared to be holding in Lebanon. The agreement that went into effect Friday could boost efforts to extend a ceasefire between Iran, the United States and Israel. It was unclear whether the pause in Lebanon could lead to a lasting deal but it could be an indication that some progress may have been made. The leaders of France and the U.K. will gather dozens of countries Friday to push forward plans to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, although the U.S. will not be included.
Some new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers started working before passing background checks and had problems in their past. ICE announced in January that it completed an unprecedented hiring spree, adding 12,000 officers and agents to double its force. Their mission is to help carry out President Donald Trump’s mass deportation campaign. But the speed with which they were brought on to the payroll, to jobs considered important for national security, has raised alarm. The Associated Press found one new ICE hire had filed for bankruptcy twice and worked for six law enforcement agencies in three years. Another was accused of lying in a police report to justify a felony charge against an innocent woman. A third quit his only prior policing job after three weeks.
