An immigrant rights group is trying to force the Department of Homeland Security to identify a class of designated terror groups, claiming DHS is using the secret designation to unfairly flag people applying to resettle in the United States. DHS says it would compromise investigations into the groups and incentivize immigrants connected to the groups to lie if they learn of the designation.

He concludes by noting that the FOIA exemption granted by the court stands regardless, but Congress could act to change the exemption law so that such information might be accessible to the public. “Until that time, however, many of us remain in the dark as a humanitarian catastrophe continues.”

So he'll "raise questions" but not strike down the secrecy. Way to go, enemy of civilization.
