PlaintiffLAWYERS' COMMITTEE FOR CIVIL RIGHTS UNDER LAW
Case DescriptionThe Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights under Law submitted FOIA requests to the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security for records concerning the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity. The Lawyers Committee also requested expedited processing and a fee waiver. The Justice Department provided an index of Commission records provided in a court case against the Commission. DOJ denied the Lawyers Committee's request for expedited processing but had not yet addressed its request for a fee waiver. The Lawyers Committee asked for the same kinds of records from DHS. DHS closed its request because it failed to sufficiently identify the records requested. The Lawyers Committee then filed suit against both agencies.
