Legal Definitions - foreign guardian

A foreign guardian is someone who is appointed to take care of a child or an adult who is not a citizen of the country where the guardian lives. This person is responsible for making decisions about the person's welfare, such as their education, healthcare, and living arrangements.

Foreign immunity is a legal concept that protects foreign governments and their officials from being sued in the courts of another country. This means that if a foreign government or official commits a wrongful act, they cannot be held accountable in the courts of the country where the act occurred.

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) is a law that was passed in 1978 to allow the United States government to conduct electronic surveillance of foreign intelligence operations within the country. This law established the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court and the Foreign Intelligence Court of Review, which are responsible for authorizing electronic surveillance of suspected foreign-intelligence operatives without public disclosure and without a showing of probable cause that criminal activity is involved.

For example, if the government suspects that a foreign spy is operating within the United States, they can obtain a warrant from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to conduct electronic surveillance of that person's activities. This allows the government to gather information about the spy's activities without alerting them to the fact that they are being monitored.
