Please use all of your resources and influence to investigate these allegations of illegal redactions of US citizen immigration documents by the US government. It is already atrocious what is happening to immigrants under this cruel administration, but adding insult to injury through malicious redaction is continued cruelty. Stop this destruction of citizen rights and property. The evidence is damning. According to MSN, "USCIS told the court in a December 2025 filing that it had all but wiped out its backlog of A-File requests, a cut of 99.96 percent that took the pending caseload from thousands down to two, according to the whistleblower group Government Accountability Project, which represented the employee who came forward. The organization says leadership at the agency's National Records Center quietly rewrote the rejection rules the day after an earlier compliance filing, so staff could close a case, and log it as resolved, over something as small as a birthdate entered day-first instead of month-first, or an attorney's mailing address listed instead of the client's own. An internal email the group obtained put it plainly: staff had found a way to close 99% of FOIA requests as failure to comply. The pattern shows up in the agency's own figures: USCIS closed 41,918 requests over inaccurate or incorrect information between mid-September and mid-December of 2025, compared with 5,427 in that same window of 2024, nearly eight times as many." This is not bureaucratic sloppiness. It is the deliberate destruction of records that citizens have a legal right to access. I expect a full investigation and immediate steps to halt these practices. Thank you for your continued civic service and attention to human rights for all.
