Advancement Proj. v. DHS (D.D.C.) -- deciding that: (1) ICE properly invoked Exemption 5’s deliberative process privilege to withhold records pertaining to visa sanctions, but it failed to properly explain its segregability analysis; and (2) State Department properly withheld records on same subject pursuant to Exemption 7(E) and Exemption 5’s deliberative process privilege.
Judicial Watch v. U.S. Dep’t of State (D.D.C.) -- ruling that agency did not entirely justify its search for records concerning former U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power’s requests to “unmask” the identity of former National Security Advisor Lieutenant General Michael Flynn in intelligence reports.
