Anna Paulina Luna Proposes Limiting Surveillance Powers Under the Patriot Act
- U.S. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, introduced legislation in 2025 to repeal the Patriot Act and limit government surveillance powers.
- The repeal effort responds to the Patriot Act’s 2001 removal of the legal barrier between federal spying and law enforcement established by the 1978 FISA law.
- The Patriot Act expanded government surveillance domestically and internationally, allowing warrantless access to business records and wiretaps, raising Fourth Amendment concerns.
- Luna called her bill the American Privacy Restoration Act and said it will “strip the deep state of these tools” and protect Americans’ Fourth Amendment rights.
- If passed, Luna’s measure could curb decades of surveillance by agencies that have spied without probable cause, but its legislative success remains uncertain.
