A group of House Republicans is urging Congress not to renew the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) when it expires at the end of this year, a move those lawmakers say would curb the government’s ability to spy on U.S. citizens.

"I think most folks are increasingly concerned about centralized power with our national security apparatus, given how political they've become," Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., who will introduce a resolution Tuesday calling for an end to FISA, told Fox News Digital.

"I take great lengths in my legislation to point out that it's both left-wing groups like BLM, and it's also folks who were at the Capitol on January 6, who have seen their rights unfairly violated by FISA, and I'm equally aggrieved by both," Rep. Gaetz said.

It is long past time to end the secret FISA courts.

I just can't imagine picking up Air Freight at Chicago-O'Hare in late 90s if there were TSA guards at the truck entrance. ;)
