FOIA News: DHS fails to post 4th quarter data for FY 2021

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which receives more FOIA requests than any other federal agency, has not posted its FOIA metrics for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021 despite an agency-wide deadline of October 29, 2021. The most recent data available on FOIA.gov indicates that DHS had a backlog of 49,279 requests at the end of the third quarter of FY 2021, up 35 percent from the end of FY 2020.
