As someone who has been filing FOIAs for more than 20 years, suing the EPA twice and FDA once to get them to comply, I can tell you with certainty that our federal agencies no longer even pretend to provide transparency. Exemption 6 doesn't appear to legitimately apply in this case, and even if it does, the redactions would not be whole pages worth, they would be simply names of individuals and/or other identifying information about those individuals. They government is breaking the law when they send you wholly redacted pages like this. I hope you're going to appeal this and or litigate.
The US gov't breaking the law? No way...ignoring immigration law, CDC eviction moratorium, OSHA vax mandate. Our gov't wouldn't break the law, that's just silly.
