Abstract

The Civil Rights Cold Case Records Review Board received 14,469 pages of records from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) and the Department of Justice related to two civil rights cold case incidents to which the Review Board assigned the unique identifiers 2023-002-005 and 2024-003-052. The agencies proposed 2,089 postponements including postponements of sealed federal grand jury information in the records. On May 29, 2026, the Review Board met and approved 1,726 postponements and portions of 35 additional postponements, and determined that 12,884 pages in full and 71 pages in part should be publicly disclosed in the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection. The Review Board has requested that the Attorney General petition the relevant court to unseal the federal grand jury information in the records. 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.
