To get a FISA warrant against a US citizen ("United States person") the law enforcement agency must convince the judge that there is reason to believe the target was knowingly engaging in clandestine intelligence activities for a foreign power that violate American criminal laws.
Only for "any person other than a United States person" a FISA warrant can be issued without reason to believe that American criminal law is violated. 92 Stat. 1783 Title I Sec. 101 (b)(2).pic.twitter.com/rul5ShAC0W

The FISA court therefore is not about prosecuting US persons, but rather as its name implies its purpose is to facilitate the gathering of intelligence on FOREIGN powers.

This is a strawmen. I did not say that FISC is about prosecuting US persons. I said you can't get a FISA warrant on a US person without being able to demonstrate that there is reason to believe that the US person is violating US criminal law.
