“RISAA attempts to limit the use of Section 702 for purely domestic criminal investigations by prohibiting queries conducted solely to find evidence of a crime unrelated to foreign intelligence or national security. That constraint, however, is narrower than it may appear. RISAA does not impose a warrant requirement for U.S. person queries, and it allows queries to proceed where a foreign intelligence or national security nexus can be asserted. In practice, queries are almost never characterized as being conducted solely for evidence-of-a-crime purposes. This dynamic is at the center of the warrant requirement debate.” (03/24/26)
