Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Trevor McFadden has ruled that U.S. Customs and Border Protection has not shown that it conducted an adequate search for records concerning instructions provided to customs officers at port-of-entry about the discontinuation of the Inspector's Field Manuel and the implementation of the Officer's Reference Tool. The American Immigration Lawyers Association requested the records and CBP produced a one-page memorandum and a one-page briefing document, a 25-page index of Chapter 11 of the ORT with 31 document titles redacted, and a one-page index of Chapter 12 of the ORT, explaining that only Chapters 11 and 12 had been drafted so far. The agency told McFadden that it had provided some additional records about the discontinuation of the IFM and that since no other portions of the ORT had yet been drafted, there were no other responsive records. McFadden found these statements insufficient, noting that "although the agency is not required to search every system if additional searches are unlikely to produce any marginal return, here, the Government utterly failed to describe the systems searched, much less why its method is 'reasonably calculated to uncover all relevant documents.'" In response to AILA's request for the drafted portions of the ORT, the agency contended that drafts contained only cross-references to other documents, but not the documents themselves, and, thus, the agency was not required to provide the cross-references. McFadden pointed out that "the Government's position is too clever by half. While it properly liberally construed AILA's request to produce a working substitute in lieu of its finalized manual, the Government adopted a hyper-technical approach to the contents of the manual. It is clear that AILA, as an organization that provides information about immigration issues and policy to the public, sought the Government's policies and procedures with respect to entry into the United States. Thus, a reading that constrains AILA's request merely to an index of applicable policies of documents, but not review, at minimum, of those policies of documents for responsiveness is too narrow. The Government is obligated to review and disclose responsive records �" to include the underlying policies or documents that make up the ORT �" unless the records fall into one of FOIA's statutory exemptions or there is another recognized legal objection to this disclosure."
Issues: Adequacy - Search

FOIA Project Annotation: Resolving a suit brought in 2016 by the American Immigration Lawyers Association against U.S. Customs and Border Protection for records concerning the development of a new manual â€" the Officers Reference Tool â€" Judge Trevor McFadden has ruled that the agency properly withheld 35 documents under Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods or techniques). Noting that the bar to show that Exemption 7(E) applied to records was low, McFadden pointed out that "CBP clears this bar. Its evidence establishes that the withheld information in these documents would 'train potential violators to evade the law or instruct them how to break the law,' or 'increase the risks that a law will be violated or that past violators will escape legal consequences.' Indeed, the protected information in these documents appears to be central to CBP's law enforcement mission. CBP withheld the techniques and procedures it employs to determine eligibility to enter or remain in the United States and assess and monitor risks at the borders." McFadden explained that "application of Exemption 7(E) for these documents is 'self-evident.' CBP cannot reveal the details of these techniques and procedures because doing so would allow those seeking to circumvent the federal immigration laws to extrapolate what to avoid and how to prepare, increasing the risk that they enter or remain in the United States illegally. To grant AILA's request for more information would be untenable. It would require disclosure of the very details that create the risk that a law will be circumvented in the first place. This is not what FOIA contemplates." AILA argued that some of the redactions were apparently based on publicly available information and thus not protected by Exemption 7(E). McFadden, however, indicated that "the presence of unredacted, publicly available information in [two records] does not overcome CBP's decision to withhold information in these documents under Exemption 7(E). That is because how CBP employs public information may not be known and can itself disclose law enforcement techniques and procedures."
