China claims foreign spy agencies use turtles and fish to map coastline

China's Ministry of State Security claims foreign spy agencies are using turtles and fish fitted with sensors to map its coastline and collect sensitive marine data. Beijing alleges this data could identify weaknesses in coastal defenses, posing a national security threat. The ministry urged security checks on foreign equipment and for fishers to report unusual findings.

US House Rejects Foreign Surveillance Program Extension Amid DNI Pick Backlash

The U.S. House rejected a short-term extension of a key foreign surveillance program (Section 702 of FISA), which is set to expire Friday. Democrats withheld support due to President Trump's controversial pick for acting DNI, Bill Pulte, citing his lack of national security experience and alleged political motivations. Nineteen Republicans also voted against the measure.

Section 702 Reauthorization Deadline Looms Amid Controversy Over Intelligence Appointment

The US Congress faces a June 12 deadline to reauthorize Section 702 of the FISA, but negotiations are stalled. A 45-day extension was granted in April for reforms, but none have been made. A recent Senate vote (52-47) failed to pass a 3-year renewal due to Democratic opposition triggered by President Trump's appointment of Bill Pulte, a businessman without security clearance, as acting Director of National Intelligence. Critics fear Trump's history of abusing surveillance powers and his suggestion to 'gut' the ODNI, potentially firing staff from previous administrations, complicates the reauthorization, especially without reforms like warrant requirements for US person queries.

Congress Reauthorizes Section 702 FISA for 45 Days Amid Heated Debate

Congress has reauthorized Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act for 45 days, until June 14, 2026, to allow time for reform negotiations. The House passed the bill 261-111 on Thursday after the Senate settled on a 45-day extension following debate between Sens. Ron Wyden (D-OR), who wanted three weeks, and Tom Cotton (R-AR), who cited the program's use in a recent US raid on Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. The legislation includes some reforms but does not include a warrant requirement for US person queries, drawing criticism from privacy advocates who call it 'empty-calories.'
