November 6, 2016“A federal judge in California has said the US Department of Homeland Security should reveal what it knew about George Gibney’s alleged sexual abuse of minors when it issued a visa to Ireland’s former national swim coach.
Charles Breyer, a judge in San Francisco District Court, said he would compel the department to release specific documents unless it reached an agreement with Irv Muchnick, an American journalist.
Muchnick took the department to court after it refused him access to Gibney’s immigration file under a Freedom of Information request.
The department argued that to release the documents would breach Gibney’s right to privacy, or compromise confidential law-enforcement decisions. Breyer examined the file and rejected the argument.”
