Full list of Republican rebels who voted against FISA extension

A series of late-night votes in the House on renewing key U.S. surveillance powers ended in division among Republicans, forcing lawmakers to pass a short-term extension instead.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is a U.S. law passed in 1978 that sets the rules for government surveillance in national security cases. It also created the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which oversees surveillance requests.

The current debate focuses on Section 702, a provision added in 2008 that allows U.S. intelligence agencies to monitor foreign targets located outside the United States without a traditional warrant.

While Americans cannot be directly targeted, their communications can be collected if they are in contact with those foreign targets. This practice has drawn criticism from lawmakers who argue it can allow warrantless searches of Americans’ data.

According to the official roll call from the U.S. House of Representatives, a procedural vote tied to an 18-month extension of Section 702 failed by 197–228. That vote was necessary to move the bill forward.

The failed vote came after earlier disagreements within the Republican Party.

Speaker Mike Johnson had first backed a longer five-year extension with revisions, but some Republicans objected. Leadership then tried a shorter, “clean” 18-month extension, meaning no new limits on surveillance, but that also failed.

According to the House clerk’s official vote record, 20 Republicans voted against moving forward with the 18-month extension.
