PlaintiffAmerican Civil Liberties Union Immigrants' Rights Project
Case DescriptionThe ACLU Immigrant Rights Project submitted a FOIA request to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for records concerning data on removals, detentions, ICE arrests/apprehensions, ICE risk classifications, and immigration bonds. The ACLU also requested expedited processing and a fee waiver. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request. The agency told the ACLU that its request was too broad and asked if it would restrict its time frame to the last seven years. The ACLU agreed to make that clarification, but after hearing nothing further from the agency, the ACLU filed suit.

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in New York has ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is not required to insert a unique identifier in place of Alien file numbers contained in data requested by the ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project concerning immigration apprehensions, detentions, removals, risk classification assessments, and bond management information because it would require the agency to create a new record. The agency disclosed 40 spreadsheet tabs containing over one million rows of data covering the years 2012 to 2019. However, it did not provide the unique identifiers requested by the ACLU because it did have a computer program that would allow it to replace A-numbers with unique identifiers. Judge George Daniels pointed out that two provisions of FOIA were at issue here â€" a requirement that agencies produce records in the format of the requester's choice as long as doing so would be "readily reproducible." The other provision was contained in the 2016 FOIA Improvement Act concerning segregability, requiring agencies to consider partial disclosure where full disclosure was not possible and to take reasonable steps necessary to segregate and release non-exempt information. Here, the ACLU argued that ICE was required to "'replace A-numbers with Unique IDs' because ICE can segregate out Unique IDs (nonexempt information) from A-numbers (exempt information) using nonburdensome computer software." In contrast, ICE argued that doing so would require creation of a record. The ACLU asserted that "one of the functions of A-numbers is to convey 'Relational Information' â€" information which shows the records are associated with particular individuals." The ACLU argued that FOIA required ICE to run Structured Query Language searches that would separate out this non-exempt Relational Information. Daniels pointed out that "but ICE does not maintain 'Relational Information' or 'unique identifiers' in its databases. These extrapolated data points are simply not something that ICE 'has in fact chosen to create and retain.' 'Relational Information' and 'Unique IDs' are not preexisting data fields (e.g. date, category, or title) in the [Integrated Decision Support System] database which ICE can sort. The ACLU's request for 'Unique IDs' or 'Relational Information' does not seek the contents of the database (such as A-numbers), but instead seemingly seeks information about those contents. As such it is a request that requires the creation of a new record." He added that "however, 'Relational Information' or Unique IDs cannot be 'apparent on the face of the database' because they are conceptual abstractions, not datapoints within the IIDS." Daniels also rejected the ACLU's form or format argument. Citing Sai v. Transportation Security Administration, 466 F. Supp. 3d 35 (D.D.C. 2020), Daniels indicated that "form" referred to the media â€" such as paper or thumb drive â€" while "format" referred to the electronic structure for the processing, storage, or display of data â€" such as PDF or JPEG. Applying these definitions here, he pointed out that "ICE is correct, the ACLU's request does not implicate format (i.e. file types). Instead, the ACLU seeks to have ICE transform A-numbers into Unique IDs. Such a request is not the purpose of this section of the FOIA."
