Reporters Committee attorneys are representing independent journalist Jackie Botts in a new Freedom of Information Act lawsuit seeking access to records that could help shine a light on a deadly immigration raid at a California cannabis farm last year.
In a complaint filed on Thursday in federal district court, Reporters Committee attorneys argue that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and 10 other federal agencies violated FOIA by failing to provide Botts with records she requested about the raid at Glass House Farms, which resulted in hundreds of arrests and the death of a 56-year-old farm worker.
