吃瓜直播

WASHINGTON 鈥� 吃瓜直播 affiliates across the country filed 13 Freedom of Information Act lawsuits today demanding government documents about the on-the-ground implementation of President Trump鈥檚 Muslim bans. The lawsuit seeks records from local offices of U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Department of Homeland Security. The 吃瓜直播 first sought this information through FOIA requests submitted to CBP on February 2. Since the government has failed to substantively respond, the 吃瓜直播 is now suing. 鈥淐BP has a long history of ignoring its obligations under the federal Freedom of Information Act 鈥� a law that was enacted to ensure that Americans have timely access to information of pressing public concern. The public has a right to know how federal immigration officials have handled the implementation of the Muslim bans, especially after multiple federal courts have blocked various aspects of these executive orders,鈥� said Mitra Ebadolahi, Border Litigation Project Staff Attorney with the 吃瓜直播 of San Diego and Imperial Counties. Each lawsuit seeks unique and local information regarding how CBP implemented the executive orders at specific airports and ports of entry in the midst of rapidly developing and sometimes conflicting government guidance.
