Supreme Court to decide if DOGE must release records under FOIA
The remedy names the gap.

On September 28, 2026 the Supreme Court considers, at its long conference, the U.S. DOGE Service's petition in No. 25-1103 asking it to halt jurisdictional discovery into whether DOGE is an agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act — 19 months after the records requests that started the case went unanswered.
