Abstract
The Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board received 4,701 pages of records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Department of Justice, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) related to five civil rights cold case incidents to which the Review Board assigned the unique identifiers 2023- 002-006, 2023-002-013, 2024-003-011, 2024-003-034, and 2024-003-065. NARA, the Department of Justice, and the FBI proposed 1,231 postponements in the records related to incidents 2023-002-006 and 2023-002-013. The Department of Justice and the FBI later withdrew 115 of the postponements the agencies proposed. On June 6, 2025 and June 13, 2025, the Review Board met and approved 299 postponements and portions of 29 additional postponements, and determined that 4,550 pages in full and 151 pages in part should be publicly disclosed in the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection. By issuing this notice, the Review Board complies with the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act of 2018 that requires the Review Board to publish in the Federal Register its determinations on the disclosure or postponement of records in the Collection no more than 14 days after the date of its decision.
