BREAKING: JW filed a FOIA lawsuit with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, & Explosives (ATF) – part of DOJ – for 1900 pages of docs about a proposed reclassification that would effectively ban certain types of AR-15 ammo as “armor-piercing.” (1/4)
jwatch.us/3oRfBZ
JW filed the lawsuit after the ATF failed to respond to our May 2018 FOIA request for the 1900 docs on the Obama Admin’s AR-15 ammo ban efforts. The docs include ATF talking points about the “Armor Piercing Ammunition Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.” (2/4)
jwatch.us/3oRfBZ
This new lawsuit is just the latest development in Judicial Watch’s more than three-year effort to obtain these types of documents from the ATF. Judicial Watch discovered this specific document cache in separate litigation on this ammo ban issue. (3/4)
jwatch.us/3oRfBZ
JW President @TomFitton: “Simply put, the ATF refuses to comply with federal open records law. The ATF has withheld records for 3+ years concerning the Obama Admin’s shady attempt to institute gun control by restricting ammunition instead of guns.” (4/4)

BREAKING: Judicial Watch signed a settlement agreement with the State of California & the County of L.A. under which they’ll begin the process of removing from voter registration rolls up to 1.5 million inactive registered names that may be invalid. (1/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This Judicial Watch lawsuit confirmed that Los Angeles County has on its rolls 1.5 million or more potentially ineligible voters. This means over one in every five L.A. County registrations likely belongs to a voter who has moved or is deceased. (2/8)
jwatch.us/vUVqet
This JW lawsuit related to the National Voter Registration Act also uncovered the stunning fact that neither the State of California nor Los Angeles County had been removing inactive voters from their voter registration rolls for the past 20 years. (3/8)

NEW: JW filed an amicus curiae brief in the Supreme Court in an effort to overturn a decision of the 10th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals that upheld Utah’s law engineered by GOP legislators to compel GOP members to change how they choose candidates. (1/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
Until 2014, GOP members elected delegates to represent them at the nominating convention, which selected candidates for the general election ballot. But the Utah legislature enacted SB 54, which effectively compels parties to hold primary elections. (2/3)
jwatch.us/GcCJ43
JW President @TomFitton: Republican power-brokers in Utah hate party conventions which they can’t control, so they passed an unconstitutional law to control the party at the expense of grassroots activists. The Supreme Court shouldn’t let this stand. (3/3)

BREAKING: Judicial Watch announced it filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Department of Justice for records of the costs incurred by and for records of the logs maintained by the security detail for Special Counsel Robert Mueller. (1/5)
jwatch.us/EsgPrN
In a related Oct. 2017 lawsuit, DOJ refused to release Mueller’s budget, but later was forced to release details from the redacted Aug. 2nd memo where Deputy AG Rosenstein gave broad authority to Mueller – three months after Mueller’s appointment. (2/5)
jwatch.us/EsgPrN
JW is also pursuing multiple other FOIA lawsuits on the surveillance, unmasking, & illegal leaking that targeted President @realDonaldTrump & associates during the FBI's investigation of potential Russian involvement in 2016’s presidential election. (3/5)
