Block Club Chi. v. DHS (D.D.C.) -- ruling that that ICE properly relied on Exemption 7(C) to redact detainee names, case numbers, home addresses, and birth dates from spreadsheet records showing arrests and detentions involving ICE personnel in the Chicago region from January 21 to January 30, 2025; rejecting plaintiff’s argument that a public interest in verifying the agency’s claims regarding the "targeted" nature of the operations or the criminal status of detainees outweighed the substantial privacy interests.
Hester v. IRS (D. N.J.) (unpublished) -- denying in large part plaintiff’s motion for reconsideration of the Court’s prior order denying a TRO and preliminary injunction, finding plaintiff failed to show the IRS was destroying or likely to destroy FOIA-requested records and failed to justify expedited processing of FOIA requests tied to Tax Court disputes.
