A key US surveillance law, Section 702 of FISA, has expired due to congressional deadlock, raising national security concerns as the US hosts the 2026 World Cup. The law allowed intelligence agencies to collect foreign targets' communications abroad, even if they contacted individuals in the US. While some surveillance may continue under existing warrants, legal experts warn of potential disruptions if tech companies withdraw cooperation. The expiration occurs amidst political infighting and concerns over President Trump's handling of intelligence leadership.
