Government Oversight and the Importance of FOIA
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) serves as a critical tool for investigating government actions and maintaining accountability. Judicial Watch has leveraged this law for over 30 years to uncover government misconduct, particularly by pursuing documents and information that agencies may be inclined to withhold. This approach allows organizations to hold powerful institutions accountable, thereby supporting the exercise of First Amendment rights. It has also sparked greater interest in transparency from other groups and individuals, signaling a shift towards demanding accountability at all levels of government.
