In July 2011 the ACLU filed a lawsuit demanding that the government release documents relating to the trafficking and the abusive treatment of foreign workers on U.S. military bases in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) case, brought on behalf of the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project, seeks documents from the Departments of State and Defense that detail audits and complaints about military contractors working in Iraq and Afghanistan.
