אודות פרק זה
A key part of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act is set to expire after the House on Thursday failed to extend it. The program allows U.S. intelligence agents to spy on terrorist suspects abroad without a warrant, but some Democrats and Republicans in Congress are concerned that President Trump's pick for acting director of national intelligence will abuse his power and spy on Trump opponents in this country. We hear from FBI special agent Asha Rangappa about what the expiration means for national security. Then, a stabbing in Belfast has become the spark for wider anti-immigrant violence in Northern Ireland. Irish Times producer Andrew McNair shares a first-hand look at what's happening in Belfast. And, the federal government is sending water from the Flaming Gorge reservoir upstream to prop up Lake Powell. But as Here & Now's Peter O'Dowd reports, it comes at a cost.
