NEW FOIA FILES is out! Ok so this is interesting? Last month, I obtained a memo signed by AG Todd Blanche that was sent to all federal agencies that advised officials how they should implement Trump's EO designating English as the "official" language of the US. The memo said some agencies, such as the Departments of Homeland Security, Treasury and Education scrubbed their websites of non-English language materials. Well... last week, Blanche revised his memo and sent a new version to agencies. I obtained a copy. English is now not only the "official" language of the US, Blanche wrote, it is now the "sole official language." One thing that Blanche added that wasn't in the previous version of his memo: the DOJ will seek public comments on the English Language guidance. Blanche noted, however, that the DOJ will not respond to public comments.” You gotta read this week's FOIA Files for the full story. There's a lot more. As always, it's free!
