New Ad Calls Out Himes For Siding With Trump & Miller on Surveillance
Himes is Leading the Charge to Whip Support for Trump & Stephen Miller’s ‘Clean’ Reauthorization of Government Spying Powers, Vote Expected Wednesday
BRIDGEPORT, CT — On Sunday morning, Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) woke up to an ad in his local newspaper calling him out for trying to deliver Democratic votes for Donald Trump and Stephen Miller’s surveillance agenda. On Wednesday, the House is expected to vote on whether to renew the government’s warrantless surveillance authority under Section 702 of the Foreign Services Intelligence Act (FISA). Both Trump and Miller are demanding that Congress renew this authority without any privacy reforms. Shockingly, Rep. Himes is trying to get Democrats to give them the “clean” renewal of FISA that they are asking for.
The print ad in the Connecticut Post was sponsored by Fight for the Future and Demand Progress Action, who are leading a coalition of progressive and civil rights groups demanding privacy protections for FISA.
