Hi. When I made noise about this, people contacted me and explained why the 500% hike in fees to look up immigration records (vital for genealogy) were going through.

To pay for the Immigration Centers. You know, the Kiddie Koncentration Kamps. I have it on good authority.
You gotta hand whoever was scrounging around for ways to pay for larger ICE centers around the country, make the people most dedicated to tracking down the history of immigration and traversal into the country pay for it. Like grinding dogs into dog food.
Anyway, believe or don't believe Crazy Ol' Jason, Who Has A Lot of Connections To Archive People Who Do Archive Things And Who Know How Records And FOIA Access Works, and focus on a 500% fee raise, which is usurious without justification and will halt a lot of critical research.
Combined with the attempts by many locations to shorten and shorten record retention and destroy them before any chance of access, it's just not a good time for historians. (Or immigrants, of course.)
