ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û v. DOD – FOIA on Yemen Raid
A U.S. military raid in Yemen on January 29, 2017, left one Navy SEAL and many Yemeni civilians dead. The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û filed a Freedom of Information Act request in March with the Central Intelligence Agency and the Departments of Defense, Justice, and State. In May 2017, we filed a lawsuit asking a federal court to enforce the request, which asks for records including the legal basis and decision-making process used for the raid, as well as assessments of civilian deaths afterwards.
