Comment by Greg Casar
U.S. Representative from Texas; Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus
This is a flashing red siren for anyone who cares about keeping America safe and free. The Trump administration wants to use A.I. to spy on Americans without a warrant and to give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved. That would put our Constitutional rights and our lives in the hands of unaccountable AI systems. [...] These questions are too important to be left to private companies alone. Congress must act to protect Americans' safety and civil liberties.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly implies support for the statement: it explicitly warns against giving AI "power to make life and death decisions without humans involved" and says Congress must act, which indicates the author favors requiring human oversight in high-stakes AI uses.

Quote verified via web search (progressives.house.gov returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but search results reproduce the wording verbatim from the official Congressional Progressive Caucus press release, Feb 2026 — the primary source). Confirmed: "This is a flashing red siren for anyone who cares about keeping America safe and free. The Trump administration wants to use A.I. to spy on Americans without a warrant and to give A.I. power to make life and death decisions without humans involved," and the call that "Congress must act to protect Americans' safety and civil liberties." Year 2026 correct, author attribution confirmed (Rep. Greg Casar, CPC Chair). Vote alignment: his opposition to AI-enabled warrantless mass surveillance of Americans directly supports his "for" vote on "Ban governments from using AI to conduct mass surveillance of citizens."
