WASHINGTON — The House Judiciary Committee has voted to remove an anti-terrorism tool from the USA Patriot Act.
The Judiciary Committee bill would eliminate the Patriot Act’s never-used “lone wolf” section. This permits the government to spy on non-Americans even when they’re not linked to a recognized terrorist group.
The changes to Patriot Act went to the full House on a 16-10 party line vote Thursday. None of the committee Republicans supported the changes.
