I am writing to urge you to support and introduce legislation that strictly prohibits federal and state agencies—including ICE, the FBI, and the CIA—from utilizing thermal imaging, AI-driven biometric scans, or other "unusual" surveillance technologies without a specific judicial warrant based on probable cause. The Supreme Court ruled in Kyllo v. United States that the use of thermal imaging to explore details of a home is a "search" under the Fourth Amendment. Despite this, agencies continue to bypass judicial oversight by using emerging technologies that haven't been reviewed by the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability or the Senate Judiciary Committee. We must close these loopholes. I demand that you: 1 Support the Surveillance Accountability Act or similar 2026 reform bills. 2 Mandate that any new surveillance device must pass a public oversight committee review before being deployed. 3 Ban the use of "parallel construction," where agencies use high-tech warrantless data to tip off local law enforcement, effectively hiding the source of their evidence from the courts. Technology should not be a "get out of the Constitution free" card. Please protect our privacy and restore the warrant requirement for all forms of advanced surveillance.
