This is unacceptable: "The “Sensitive But Unclassified” language cannot be seen by senders until after the email is sent, a source in the agency told FedScoop."
Warning: Secrecy mission creep at USAID to intimidate public officials from releasing information.
Could this extend to other agencies DOGE is embedded with? Absolutely.
The public - and any fed employees left in FOIA offices - should know this isn't a valid reason to withhold information.
