Even if foreign intelligence sources under investigation happen to be communicating with Americans, law enforcement agencies still need a warrant to obtain their identity. https://bja.ojp.gov/program/it/privacy-civil-liberties/authorities/statutes/1286#:~:text=FISA%2C%20as%20amended%2C%20establishes%20procedures,purpose%20of%20gathering%20foreign%20intelligence.
