The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), a Christian-rights legal organization, has announced it is suing the Biden administration, and by extension the “Deep State,” for failing to comply with Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests.

In a scathing commentary, ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow alleges that his organization’s FOIA requests have gone unanswered or been stonewalled by “the Deep State” while at least one other media outlet has received more cooperation for similar requests.

“We caught the Deep State withholding required records after we submitted a FOIA request, while quickly turning over similar records to a far-Left media outlet,” Sekulow writes. “We now have PROOF and are headed to court.”

We’ve been warning you about Deep State corruption for weeks – well, let’s be honest, years. But now it’s gotten out of hand, and someone has to take action before the radical Left completely shreds the Constitution. They keep putting their foot on the scales of justice when it feels like they’re just about to be exposed. They’ve created two systems of justice – one for dealing with conservatives they don’t agree with and one for protecting themselves.

Sekulow did not share what type of evidence he’d acquired but he did provide a copy of the April 2021 FOIA request that he says was ignored by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

Specifically, ACLJ requested the unclassified emails of current Director Avril Haines and records relating to the agency’s decision to release Trump-era Acting Director Rick Grenell’s unclassified emails.

ACLJ alleges that Grenell’s emails were released after a FOIA request from Buzzfeed News reporter Jason Leopold.

“When ACLJ Senior Advisor Ric Grenell left his position as U.S. Acting Director of National Intelligence (DNI), a Leftist mainstream media outlet filed a Freedom of Information Act request demanding all of his emails, phone records, and other documents,” Sekulow wrote in his commentary. “And the Deep State stepped right up and turned over everything without hesitation. No lawsuit, no pressure, just easy cooperation.

“When we filed a FOIA asking for essentially the same information from the Biden DNI two years ago, we heard nothing but crickets. But that’s the usual response from Team Biden. Unless you count the time they told us that they had closed another one of our FOIAs without any cooperation or attempts to meet the request.”

Part of our job at the ACLJ is to get the facts to the American people. And it’s unacceptable for the Biden Administration to treat a FOIA request (a legal demand) differently based on who made the request or if the information highlights bias and corruption. It’s also a violation of the First Amendment.

ACLJ WADES INTO BATTLE WITH FBI

Beyond suing over FOIA requests, the ACLJ says it is also seeking to uncover anti-Christian practices with the Justice Department.

Recently, ACLJ announced it had filed a FOIA request with the FBI over a January memo in which an intelligence analyst might have drawn a connection between traditional Catholicism and white nationalism.

ACLJ alleges that on Jan. 23 the analyst penned a memo titled “Interest of Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremists in Radical-Traditionalist Catholic Ideology.”

“The memo notes that FBI investigations have determined that there is a mounting overlap between the far-right white nationalist movement and Traditionalist Catholics who prefer the ‘traditional Latin mass,” an ACLJ web page dedicated to the lawsuit reads. “According to the FBI’s twisted view of conservative Christians, Traditionalist Catholics adhere to the ‘anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant, anti-LGBT, and white supremacy’ ideology.”

Earlier this year, ACLJ represented plaintiffs who sued the National Archives and Smithsonian when patrons were forced to leave locations for wearing pro-life clothing. The Smithsonian later agreed in a consent order to not target pro-lifers.

“President Biden is waging a quiet war on our Christian faith,” a petition from the group reads. “Every rule that comes out of Biden’s Deep State agencies seems to have some kind of nefarious attack on Christians buried in it.”
