Connecticut Public’s FOIA Series, pt 2: How to File a FOIA Request at Home
In Connecticut, anyone (even residents of other states) can submit a FOIA request for records from the appropriate state government department.
⚠️ NOTE: Every state has its own rules and laws surrounding what records are available through FOIA and how to get them. The following is a guide for filing a Freedom of Information Act request with an agency in the state of Connecticut.
First, know what records you want, and which government agency has them. Then, write a letter or email explaining what you need. Make sure to include your full name, contact information with mailing address, and a reasonable description of what you’re looking for.
📢 When sending an email or physical letter, you must write THIS IS A FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST somewhere in the document. Even a request written on a napkin will be considered valid as long as it is directly stated to be a Freedom of Information Act request.
After you’ve submitted the request, the agency should get back to you within four business days to acknowledge receiving it. This response could be the records you’re looking for, a request for more information from you, a note to say they’re working on it, or a denial of your request which you can then appeal.

Boston doesn’t back down.
Earlier this year, the Trump Administration tried to block $48 million in funding that was already awarded to Boston to help provide housing, job training, and healthcare to veterans, those fleeing domestic violence, and young people — unless we gave in to their political demands.
So we took them to court. And last week, we won.
We have also joined two amicus briefs opposing the Trump Administration’s illegal attempts to end birthright citizenship and terminate Temporary Protective Status for Venezuelans.
We’ve signed on to a public comment letter opposing restrictions to Public Service Loan Forgiveness.
We filed a brief in the Supreme Court opposing an end to humanitarian protections for immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
And we are leading a coalition in a brief challenging illegal cuts to federal funding that would end life saving medical research on everything from cancer and diabetes to Alzheimer's.
We believe in the truth and the law. Not playing political games, overstepping the Constitution, or dismantling our country’s institutions.

Rep. Jamie Raskin: Every American Should Submit A FOIA Request Demanding DOGE Turn Over Your Data. Did you know you can request your personal data seized by Elon Musk's "Department of Government Efficiency"? A Federal Court says DOGE is a federal agency subject to FOIA. You have a right to see what data they have on you. #RepJamieRaskin #FOIA #PrivacyAct #ElonMusk #GovernmentTransparency #YourData #FederalAgency #KnowYourRights #DigitalPrivacy
#LizOyer, former DOJ pardon attorney, highlights #DOJ’s alleged misuse of the Freedom of Information Act (#FOIA). She says DOJ’s handling of requests, like those from Judicial Watch on #Epstein, lacks transparency, raising concerns about government accountability.
In a recent case, Judicial Watch requested documents on Pam Bondi and Kash Patel’s communications regarding Epstein. After a year, DOJ reported finding no documents. Oyer, who faced similar issues with her firing records, calls this “absurd” and urges public awareness of FOIA’s importance for transparency.

Our current government is counting on us not to understand the rights we have as citizens. One law they’d like to erase is the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which gives us the right to access government records. I explain how DOJ is abusing FOIA to perpetuate the Epstein coverup and more. Follow @lawyer_oyer for more.

Knowledge is power and transparency is key to the functioning of a democratic society. That’s why my administration is fully committed to completing public records requests. #FOIA #sunshineweek
NEW: President @realDonaldTrump’s temporary funding freeze to reign in Biden’s spending binge has ignited outrage among the left and an ongoing Judicial Watch case that has already exposed $505 million dollars (and counting) in government waste helps illustrate why the new order is vital to protect American taxpayers. It involves awarding billions of dollars to a “grassroots network of community leaders people know and trust” to propagandize and politicize the controversial COVID vaccine by, among other things, increasing vaccine uptake in vulnerable and minority communities. It was part of a $3 billion program to support outreach efforts in states by using a specially created COVID-19 Community Corps operated by leftists. Judicial Watch requested records from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and was forced to sue in federal court because the government failed to provide the documents, which are still trickling in under the terms of the lawsuit.

⚡️FOIA and Find Out: How to Use Your Right to Expose the Truth
Investigative reporter @jim.laporta joins me to explain why government documents are ultimately the people’s documents, how “FOIA and find out” became a rallying cry in his CBS News Slack channel, and why more Americans—not just journalists—need to use public records requests to hold power accountable and stay vigilant in the critical days ahead. #FOIA

¿Te llamaron a entrevista y tu asilo es viejo, incompleto o con errores? Respira: lo peligroso no es el papel… es improvisar.Qué hacer ya:
Actualiza tu caso: tu vida no se congeló el año que lo enviaste.
No camines solo: alguien debe revisar contigo línea por línea lo que enviaste.
Recupera tu expediente original: I-589, declaración y evidencias (si no lo tienes, FOIA ya, porque tarda).
Coherencia: no es “perfecto en papel”; es no contradecirte.
Página 4 del I-589: direcciones y trabajos completos (sin “más o menos”). En tablas, con fechas.
No llegues diciendo “no me acuerdo”. Llega diciendo:
“Esto soy yo, esto viví, esto envié y esto actualicé.”
Empieza hoy, no cuando falten diez días. El reloj empezó cuando llegó tu cita.
Aquí el miedo se convierte en estrategia. #asilo #migrantes #usa #entrevista #uscisnews
