Opinion/Order [51]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in New York has ruled that the Department of Homeland Security conducted an adequate search for records of unclaimed funds in the amount of $25,000 or more in response to a request from tracer Bernard Gelb. The agency determined that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was the only component that would maintain such deposits. ICE told Gelb it could conduct a manual search for unclaimed fund deposits in excess of $25,000, but that the search would cost $4,264. Gelb declined to pay the estimated fee and filed suit instead. During the litigation, the agency disclosed a two-page list of unclaimed immigration bonds. The agency disclosed the list with all personal information redacted. The court found the agency's search was adequate, indicating that the agency had concluded that ICE was the only component that would have responsive records and that Gelb had declined to commit to paying fees when the agency provided an estimate. The court also found the personally-identifying information had been properly withheld under Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records). The court rejected Gelb's contention that DHS has failed to show that some individuals might be deceased. Instead, the court pointed out that "there is no basis to presume that the records for the period in question involved detainees who were at least ninety-one years old in 2008. Moreover, as ICE's Vaughn index makes clear, Exemptions 6 and 7(C) were applied to redact certain information about 'individuals,' and not businesses."
