FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that the FBI has failed to provide a rational nexus to any law enforcement authority pertaining to its surveillance of Muslims and other ethnic groups in Northern California. The ACLU of Northern California, the San Francisco Guardian, and the Asian Law Caucus made requests to the FBI for the records. The agency granted their request for expedited processing, but after no progress had been made in seven months, the organizations filed suit. The agency located over 50,000 pages responsive to the request and withheld nearly 48,000 pages under various exemptions, primarily Exemption 7 (law enforcement records). The plaintiffs agreed to a representative sampling of the withheld documents accompanied by a detailed Vaughn index. The court recognized that the FBI had a law enforcement function. However, the FBI's explanation for withholding records stressed such techniques as "community outreach efforts [that] serve the purpose of establishing working relationships with community partners whose cooperation is essential to law enforcement missions." The court pointed out that "that this may all be true does not, without more, permit the FBI to apply Exemption 7 to withhold or redact information about such tactics. [The agency's affidavits do not] tether the activities the withheld documents concern to the enforcement of any particular law." Finding that the agency could not claim Exemption 7 under these circumstances, the court observed that "the FBI's refrain at oral argument that many of the withheld documents do not relate to particular investigations, and thus cannot be linked to any particular provision of law, only serves to emphasize the point that Exemption 7 is not the appropriate umbrella under which to shield these documents from public view."
Issues: Exemption 7 - Law enforcement records

2018-09-23Set/Reset Hearing Settlement Conference set for 9/26/2018 09:15 AM. The court had some unavailability in September, is back now, and realizes that an October scheduling call probably is too far out. The court thus moves the call up to this Wednesday, 9/26/2018 at 9:15 a.m. The court will circulate a new call-in number separately and asks that everyone who needs to be at the settlement conference (including clients) be on the call (because the court's schedule is very full and we may need to be creative about scheduling time if the parties still need it). If the Wednesday call is inconvenient, the court suggests that the parties send a group email and cc lbpo@cand.uscourts.gov. The court will work to fit in another scheduling call this week or next week (in between other calendared matters). (Beeler, Laurel) (Filed on 9/23/2018) (Entered: 09/23/2018)
