Outcome

The Second Circuit vacated and remanded the district court's decision regarding the 2012 certification of detainee photographs. While affirming that the PNSDA permits withholding under proper certification, the court found the 2012 Certification insufficient because the Government failed to demonstrate individualized consideration of each photograph as required by the statute.
