(Infowars) The Department of Homeland Security is being sued by two New York Times reporters who say the agency failed to respond to FOIA requests following enhanced interrogations at New York’s JFK airport.
Times journalists Mac William Bishop and Christopher Chivers were on their way to Turkey to cover the Syrian civil war when they claim they were “subject to segregated questioning by DHS employees at JFK on May 24, 2013,” a lawsuit obtained by Courthouse News states.
“Subsequently, on June 6, 2013, Mr. Bishop was subjected to further segregated questioning by DHS employees at JFK as he returned to the United States.”
Bishop and Chivers both filed FOIA requests to determine why they were detained. The DHS responded claiming they sent the requests to both the Immigration & Customs Enforcement agency and the TSA, however the reporters’ lawsuit states they “haven’t heard Word One,” according to Courthouse News.
Bishop, in an appeal letter sent to the TSA, said this was “inconceivable” due to the fact that he’s “a frequent international traveler.”
