Today, the Court affirmed, holding that the TPS program gives foreign nationals nonimmigrant status, but it does not admit them, and that as a result, the conferral of TPS does not make an unlawful entrant eligible under §1255 for adjustment to LPR status. Justice Kagan issued the Court’s unanimous opinion.View the Court's decision.Today, the Supreme Court of the United States granted certiorari in the following case:FBI v. Fazaga, No. 20-828: Whether Section 1806(f) of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978, 50 U.S.C. §1801 et seq., displaces the state-secrets privilege and authorizes a district court to resolve, in camera and ex parte, the merits of a lawsuit challenging the lawfulness of government surveillance by considering the privileged evidence.

On August 18, 2017, the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals in United States v. Osmakac discussed in detail the legal implications of FISA in a terror-related decision.The appeals court informs us that in 1978 Congress enacted the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) which is codified in 50 U.S.C. § 1801. The purpose of the FISA is to regulate government surveillance conducted in the United States designed to obtain “foreign intelligence information.”

Four members of Congress seek to create a legislative “Yes” answer to that question.The Proposed Legislation On April 4th, Senators Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) and Rand Paul (R-Kentucky) in conjunction with Representatives Jared Polis (D-Colorado) and Blake Farenthold (R-Texas) introduced the Protecting Data at the Border Act, which would require U.S. government agents to first obtain a search warrantbefore searching personal digital electronic devices held by a “United States Person” as defined by 50 U.S.C. 1801(i): “United States person” means a citizen of the United States, an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence (as defined in section 1101(a)(20) of title 8), an unincorporated association a substantial number of members of which are citizens of the United States or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence, or a corporation which is incorporated in the United States, but does not include a corporation or an association which is a foreign power, as defined in subsection (a)(1), (2), or (3). In particular, the bill: Requires law enforcement to secure a search warrant before searching a United States Person’s electronic device Prohibits border agents from delaying or denying a United States Person entry in to the United States if that person refuses to hand over their electronic device and password Requires law enforcement to show probable cause before seizing a United States Person’s electronic device Requires that a United States Person know their rights before they

United States v. Muhtorov, 2015 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 184312 (D.Colo. Nov. 19, 2015)*:Jamshid Muhtorov, together with his co-defendant Bakhtiyor Jumaev, is charged with providing material support to a designated terrorist organization, and attempt and conspiracy to do the same. His arrest on a one-way flight to Turkey was originally believed to be solely the result of warrantless surveillance and physical searches authorized under Title I and III of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), 50 U.S.C. § 1801-1811, 1821-1829. Mr. Muhtorov moved to suppress that FISA-acquired evidence earlier in these proceedings, which motion I denied based on a determination, after an extensive in camera review of the classified materials submitted to the FISA Court, that there was probable cause to believe the target was an agent as described and therefore lawfully subject to those searches.The matter is before me on a renewed Motion to Suppress, precipitated by the government’s supplemental disclosure, nearly two years after Mr. Muhtorov’s arrest, that some of the FISA-acquired evidence it intends to use against him in this case was derived from surveillance conducted under § 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008 (“FAA”).

Among other requirements, minimization procedures must be “reasonably designed” “to minimize the acquisition and retention, and prohibit the dissemination, of nonpublicly available information concerning unconsenting United States persons consistent with the need of the United States to obtain, produce, and disseminate foreign intelligence information.” 50 U.S.C. §§ 1801(h)(1), 1881a(e)(1).After evaluating the protections detailed in § 702 and the classified minimization procedures, the district court concluded that as applied to Mohamud, § 702 is reasonable under the Fourth Amendment.

Compare ACLU v NSA, 428 F. Supp.2d 754, 773-75 (E.D. Mich. 2006) (holding that the 4th Amendment forbids the government from intercepting emails and telephone calls of U.S. persons en masse), app. pending, Nos. 06-2095, 06-2140 (6th Cir. 2007), with United States v. Duggan, 743 F.2d 59, 73 (2d Cir. 1984) (finding FISA did not violate the 4th Amendment in part because “the Act requires that the FISA Judge find probable cause to believe that the target is a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power . . . .”) Allowing the government to retain and analyze indefinitely data collected through surveillance conducted under FISA. See the DoJ’s proposed bill at § 401(d), which would repeal one of the “minimization” requirements currently in FISA, 50 U.S.C. § 1801(h)(4). That section prohibits the government from retaining data obtained through electronic surveillance of U.S. person for more that 72 hours unless approved by a court or the attorney general determines that the information indicates a threat of death or serious bodily harm to any person.

Posted by Randy GainerThe Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, 50 U.S.C. §§ 1801-1811, currently makes FISA court orders and judicial warrants issued in criminal proceedings the exclusive means by which the President and other executive branch officials may lawfully intercept telephone calls and emails sent or received by people in the United States. Section 109 of FISA, codified at 50 U.S.C. §1809(a), states in pertinent part: “A person is guilty of an offense if he intentionally – (1) engages in electronic surveillance under color of law except as authorized by statute . . . .”

The New Jersey officials are trying to determine whether the phone companies broke the law by providing call records to the NSA without a court order. These are just the latest efforts by the DoJ to prevent judges and agencies from deciding whether the NSA’s domestic surveillance programs violates the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), 50 U.S.C. 1801, et seq., or Title III of Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, 18 U.S.C. 181, et seq., which require court orders for electronic surveillance. The Administration earlier invoked the state secrets privilege in support of its motions to dismiss three cases brought by the ACLU, the Center for Constitutional Rights, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which claim that the NSA program violates FISA, Title III, and the Constitution.
