Congress Passes 10-Day Extension of Surveillance Law Amid Republican Disagreement

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

The US Congress has passed a 10-day extension of the surveillance law under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). The extension was approved amid internal disagreements among Republican lawmakers.

According to reports, President Trump suffered a rare defeat when House Republicans rejected an 18-month FISA extension. However, they ultimately agreed on a shorter-term extension of 10 days.

The FISA law has been at the center of controversy in recent years, with some critics arguing that it allows for excessive government surveillance of American citizens. The law grants the intelligence community broad authority to collect and analyze data on individuals suspected of being foreign agents or spies.

In a statement, Congress passed the 10-day extension without opposition from either party. The exact terms of the extension are not yet clear.

The development comes as lawmakers continue to debate the future of FISA and its role in national security efforts.
