Judicial Watch v. Department of Homeland Security (No. 11-725) - communications regarding the Virginia nun-killer case

Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to obtain records detailing Homeland Security’s investigation of Carlos Martinelly-Montano, an illegal alien who allegedly struck and killed a Virginia Benedictine nun in a drunk driving accident on August 1, 2010. Judicial Watch obtained an internal DHS report on the Martinelly-Montano investigation in response to a previous lawsuit and now seeks all communications between the DHS and the Obama White House, as well as internal DHS records regarding the investigation and the report.
