 CREW is suing the Department of Homeland Security for violating the Federal Records Act and the Freedom of Information Act by failing to preserve text messaging data.;"> We’re also suing the National Archives and Records Administration for failing to take enforcement action over these violations.John, DHS says that since April 9, 2025, it has stopped preserving records of agency business conducted over text message. In communications with records requestors, the agency has brazenly admitted—in violation of the FRA and FOIA—that it no longer maintains text message data created by government officials and can no longer search these records in response to FOIA requests. This is a sudden reversal from the agency’s long-standing policy of preserving such records. It’s unlawful and it denies the public access to information about the agency’s operations. Transparency matters.
The Federal Records Act requires the government to properly maintain “all recorded information, regardless of form or characteristics, made or received by a Federal agency under Federal law or in connection with the transaction of public business.” If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your tax deductible donation will go through immediately to ActBlue Charities Inc. and be disbursed to CREW within 30 days:
