Even in a week filled with tense negotiations over the future of a compromise immigration bill and with the clock ticking before the federal government runs out of money, the congressional delegation stayed busy in Washington D.C. over the last five days.

Among the most noteworthy votes taken during the week was a measure reauthorizing a wide-sweeping program that allows intelligence agencies to broadly monitor communications from suspected terrorists and foreign advisories under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, or FISA. Privacy and digital rights advocates have opposed the practices allowed under the bill, which serves as the basis for several programs run by the National Security Agency and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Democratic Rep. Jacky Rosen, a freshman who has announced her intentions to run against Republican Sen. Dean Heller in 2018, was one of 55 House Democrats to vote for the reauthorization, which passed on a 256-164 vote.

“Reauthorizing this section of FISA is critical to helping our intelligence community foil terrorist attacks and investigate national security threats,” Rosen said in an emailed statement. “This bill included reforms aimed at protecting our privacy and civil liberties that I believe must be preserved.”

Democratic Reps. Dina Titus and Ruben Kihuen voted against the measure — in a statement, Titus said she couldn’t support a bill that “subjects the communications of Americans to warrantless searches.”

“This bill’s provisions that address warrantless searches fall short,” she said in a statement. “That is why I voted for an amendment, which Republicans defeated, that would have instituted meaningful warrant requirements relating to the communications of U.S. citizens.”

Republican Rep. Mark Amodei voted for the reauthorization bill.

In a relative rarity, Nevada’s two senators — Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto and Republican Dean Heller — voted in tandem on all votes cast this week in the Senate. Heller skipped four votes this week, including two judicial nomination votes, to appear at a military-themed event with Vice President Mike Pence on Thursday.
