[Source](https://dailycaller.com/2026/04/17/fisa-extension-section-702-gop-mike-johnson-donald-trump/) > GOP hardliners blocked House Republicans’ late-night push to extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), stalling a five-year renewal of key surveillance powers. > The proposal to reauthorize also included new warrant requirements and tougher criminal penalties for misuse of FISA authorities, but lawmakers failed to reach a consensus. > In a last-minute move, the House instead passed a short-term extension at 2:09 a.m. by unanimous consent, pushing the deadline to April 30 after earlier procedural votes on the broader package collapsed. > The temporary extension gives GOP leaders more time to negotiate, as internal divisions continue to stall progress on a longer-term solution ahead of the program’s looming expiration. The effort isn't "tanked." It's delayed by a few days.
