Case Summary

Concerned with the targeting of protesters and communities of color by Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) and fusion centers, the ACLU submitted identical FOIA requests to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the FBI, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on May 21, 2024, seeking records relating to the use of JTTFs and/or fusion centers by those agencies.

Concerned with the targeting of protesters and communities of color by Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs) and fusion centers, the ACLU submitted identical FOIA requests to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the FBI, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on May 21, 2024, seeking records relating to the use of JTTFs and/or fusion centers by those agencies. Due to the respective agencies' lack of timely response to the FOIA requests, the national ACLU and the ACLU of New York filed suit against the DOJ, FBI, and DHS in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on July 29, 2024. The plaintiffs asserted in their complaint that the defendants violated the FOIA statute and corresponding agency regulations by failing to do the following:

  • make a reasonable effort to search for responsive records;
  • promptly make responsive records available to the plaintiffs; 
  • process the records request expeditiously and as soon as practicable;
  • grant the plaintiffs’ request for a waiver of search, review, and duplication fees; and 
  • grant the plaintiffs’ request for a limitation of fees.

The plaintiffs sought relief in the form of an order for the defendants to conduct a thorough search for all responsive records and to immediately process and release the records. The plaintiffs also requested that the court enjoin the defendants from charging the plaintiffs search, review, or duplication fees and to award them their costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees.

The case initially was assigned to District Judge Jessica G. L. Clarke, with Magistrate Judge Gabriel W. Gorenstein designated to handle any matters that may be referred. Shortly thereafter, the case was reassigned to District Judge Jed S. Rakoff. The case is ongoing as of November 2024.
