President George W. Bush expanded the powers of the FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) court following the September 11 attacks in 2001. His administration implemented the USA PATRIOT Act, which broadened the government's surveillance capabilities and allowed for more extensive monitoring of communications for national security purposes. This expansion aimed to enhance the government's ability to detect and prevent terrorist activities.
