Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that the FBI has not shown that its Glomar response neither confirming nor denying the existence of records was justified in response to a FOIA request from the ACLU for records concerning the use and purchase of social media surveillance technologies. The agency indicated that its Glomar response was justified under Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods or techniques). The FBI initially issued a Glomar response covering all five parts of the ACLU's request, but later modified that claim to cover only records concerning the purchase of such technologies. The ACLU argued that it was widely known that agencies used technologies for monitoring social media. Judge Edward Chen noted that "if other federal agencies have disclosed uses of social media monitoring in the immigration and transportation contexts, but the FBI has not, does that distinction matter for the purpose of assessing whether the technique is publicly known?" Both parties cited ACLU v. CIA, 710 F.3d 422 (D.C. Cir. 2013), in which the D.C. Circuit held that the CIA's Glomar response to the ACLU's request for records on the agency's intelligence interest in drone strikes was no longer tenable after President Obama and other senior officials had acknowledged such an involvement. Noting that ACLU v. CIA explained that an agency could not issue a Glomar response when its parent agency had previously disclosed the information, Chen pointed out that "ACLU does not suggest that the known use of a technique by one agency creates public knowledge of uses by a different agency, unless it is publicly known that the agency's parent agency utilizes that technique. Here, the FBI's parent agency is the Department of Justice, and the ACLU provides no evidence that it is publicly known that the Department of Justice utilizes the social media monitoring techniques in question." Although the ACLU provided evidence that the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of State had publicly acknowledged the use of social media monitoring technologies, it had not provided evidence that the Department of Justice had done so. As a result, Chen observed that "the Court finds that the weight of authority suggests that the ACLU cannot seek disclosure of the FBI's policies based on other agencies having disclosed their own policies, together with acknowledgement that they share information with the FBI." However, Chen then noted that "even if the FBI's use of social media monitoring in the contexts at use cannot be imputed from the conduct of other agencies, Exemption 7(E) does not protect disclosures of an application of a known technique to particular facts, as distinguished from disclosure of an unknown law enforcement technique." Here, Chen cited Rosenfeld v. Dept of Justice, 57 F.3d 803 (9th Cir. 1995) and Hamdan v. Dept of Justice, 797 F.3d 759 (9th Cir. 2015), to support that conclusion, noting that "Exemption 7(E) cannot be used to withhold information about a technique that is generally known to the public when what is at issue is a specific application of that technique to a specific context. Conversely, Exemption 7(E) does protect specific means by which an agency uses a technique where the general technique is known, but the specific means of employing that technique are not." Applying that standard here, Chen pointed out that "disclosure of social media surveillance �" a well-known general technique �" would not reveal the specific means of surveillance. Denying a Glomar response would only reveal in general the application of a known technique by the FBI to immigration- or transportation-related investigations. Merely requiring the FBI to answer whether there are documents of the kind requested would not, at this juncture, require the disclosure of those documents which might reveal specific tools or techniques utilized by the FBI." The FBI argued that requiring it to search for records could reveal the agency's lack of capacity if no records were found. Chen pointed out that "however, the language of Exemption 7(E) refers only to disclosure of techniques and procedures, and not to the lack of any such technique or procedure, and the Ninth Circuit has limited the application of 'risk of circumvention' of the law under Exemption 7(E) to guidelines, not techniques and procedures. Hence, it not clear whether Defendant's negative inference argument is cognizable under Exemption 7(E)." Ordering the agency to search for records, Chen observed that "even if the FBI were to disclose it has no records of purchasing or acquiring products or services used to surveil social media, that does not mean that the FBI has no tools at its disposal, as it could have developed such tools internally."
Issues: Exemption 7(E) - Unknown to public, Exemption 7(E) - Investigative methods or techniques

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has both accepted and rejected various claims made by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services made under Exemption 5 (privileges) and Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods or techniques) concerning the agencies' social media surveillance policies in response to a FOIA request from the ACLU that was sent to seven different agencies after reviewing the disputed documents in camera. Judge Edward Chen agreed with the ACLU that the Vaughn Index submitted by CBP was insufficient. But he noted that "indeed, the CBP's Vaughn index is unworkable. That being said, after conducting an in camera review of the documents, the Court need not ask CBP to update its Vaughn index in order to rule on the parties' disputes."
Issues: Exemption 5 - Privileges, Exemption 7(E) - Investigative methods or techniques, Litigation - In camera review
