Public Citizen v. Office of Personnel Management

In January 2025, Public Citizen submitted three FOIA requests to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for records regarding OPM’s subscription to and monitoring of email listservs operated by nonprofit organizations, its actions monitoring the speech of government personnel, and its interactions with non-governmental actors. In April 2025, after OPM failed to produce any requested records, Public Citizen filed suit. The agency then agreed to run searches to identify the requested records. The production is ongoing.
