Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has sued the Trump administration for closing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) entire Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) office. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) laid off the entire staff for CDC's FOIA office. The plaintiff argues that the CDC must be compelled to comply with the law and to provide the information CREW and other requesters are seeking through their outstanding FOIA requests with the agency. They also argue that the closure of the CDC FOIA office violates FOIA and the Administrative Procedure Act.
