Applicable Law The FOIA “Congress intended FOIA to permit access to official information long shielded unnecessarily from public view.” Milner v. Dept. of Navy,— U.S.-, 131 S.Ct. 1259, 1262, 179 L.Ed.2d 268 (2011) (quotation omitted). “FOIA thus mandates that an agency disclose records on request, unless they fall within one of nine exemptions.
