Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and the Secret Service properly withheld records concerning the use of social media as part of law enforcement investigations under Exemption 5 (privileges) and Exemption 7(E) (investigative techniques and procedures), although the court ordered the FBI to provide further justification as to whether disclosure of some of the information it was withholding under 7(E) would actually risk circumvention of law or regulation. The case involved multiple requests by EFF concerning the use of social media in law enforcement investigations. EFF argued that since the use of social media for investigatory purposes had been the subject of public discussions many of the techniques for which the agencies were claiming Exemption 7(E) were both routine and publicly known. Judge Susan Illston found that ICE and the Secret Service had substantiated their claims that disclosure of the withheld information would risk circumvention of law or regulation. But, while she questioned the FBI's justifications, she gave the agency another chance to explain how disclosure of its records could lead to circumvention of law or regulation. Discussing the agency's claims concerning the names of FBI divisions and locations of field offices, Illston noted that "disclosing that certain divisions are involved in or supervise the use of social networking sites in investigations does not disclose exactly how the FBI is expending its resources in this area. Similarly it is not readily apparent to the Court why disclosure of the physical location of a field office or task force involved with these investigationsâ€"which are focused on online activityâ€"risks circumvention of the FBI's efforts." Illston upheld all of the agencies' claims under Exemption 5. EFF argued that some FBI records appeared to deal with the application of established policies rather than legal advice. Illston disagreed, pointing out that "the FBI has redacted information from email conversations from or to counsel, and withheld attached documents, regarding 'discussions' and questions as to whether certain policies 'apply' to new situations. . .and otherwise seeking legal advice that is not a 'neutral' application of established policies." Although she upheld the adequacy of ICE's search, she agreed with EFF that the agency had not sufficiently explained why it only searched individuals' computers rather than agency-wide servers. She observed that "the Court cannot tell, however, whether ICE's search was reasonable in light of ICE's failure to address why certain employees searched only their own computer files, whether there are other unit or agency-wide record systems that exist that might contain responsive documents, and whether these systems were searched or were not searched because it was determined that they were unlikely to contain responsive records."
Issues: Exemption 5 - Privileges, Exemption 7(E) - Investigative methods or techniques
