Case Description

Detention Watch Network submitted a request to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for records concerning a policy known as the Detention Bed Quota. Detention Watch Network requested expedited processing and a fee waiver. The agency indicated that it would need extra time to process the request, but would do so as expeditiously as possible. Another letter indicated that Detention Watch Network had not described the records it sought with enough specificity for the agency to conduct a search and that if DWN did not respond within 10 days its request would be administratively closed. DWN responded to ICE's query, which the agency characterized as an appeal. Although the agency later said the subsequent letter from DWN was not an appeal, DWN heard nothing further from the agency and filed suit.

Opinion/Order [123]

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in New York has ruled that bed-day rates and staffing plans for detention facilities run by private contractors on behalf of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are not protected by either Exemption 4 (confidential business information) or Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques) and must be disclosed in response to a request from the Detention Watch Network and the Center for Constitutional Rights. Since 2009, Congress has appropriated money to ICE conditioned on maintaining 34,000 detention beds per day. In response to Detention Watch Network's request, ICE withheld bed-day rates and staffing plans for private contractors under Exemption 4. The court found that under Second Circuit case law, the bed-day rates were not "obtained from a person" as required under Exemption 4. The court noted that "plaintiffs do not seek the initial bid documents, they seek documents that show the ultimate terms of the government contracts, including the contracts themselves, The terms of those contractors are not 'obtained from' the contractors." The court added that "even if the bed-day rates and unit prices were not negotiated but merely adopted. . .the contracts and their terms did not come into existence until each party to the contract�"the private party and the Government�"took 'executive action' to enter into the contract." The court found the bed-day rates were also not confidential. The court indicated that "merely showing that competition exists or that contractors may face greater competition is inadequate to show that the information is confidential." Dismissing the agency's claims of competition, the court noted that "the record shows a limited competitive market for detention services and does not show that prices, or more importantly, profit, could be derived with the specificity needed to meet Defendants' burden of showing competitive harm." The agency argued that competitors could reverse-engineer the pricing structure of companies with current contracts. The court found that unlikely because pricing structures would vary based on the geographic location of a detention center. The court pointed out that "while a detailed staffing plan may aid in estimating past labor costs at one facility, it is unclear how helpful that information would be in bidding on a future contract, possibly in a different geographical location, in the midst of an ever-changing labor market." The court indicated that there was a significant public interest in knowing the price paid by the government for services. The court observed that "at issue in this case is the disclosure of financial information underlying government policy regarding immigration detention and incarceration, a controversial area of public debate where the public has the right to be informed." The court rejected the agency's claim that the staffing plans were investigative records protected by Exemption 7(E). The court noted that "the Government does not even attempt to show what investigations or prosecutions are occurring within the detention centers or how a staffing plan constitutes a technique or procedure used for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions."
Issues: Exemption 4 - Obtained from a person, Exemption 7(E) - Investigative methods or techniques, Exemption 4 - Competitive harm

Opinion/Order [208]

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in New York has ruled that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is liable for attorney's fees incurred by the Detention Watch Network and the Center for Constitutional Rights for opposing efforts by two private prison contractors to appeal an adverse ruling in FOIA litigation pertaining to the number of beds available in detention centers. In response to FOIA requests submitted by the Detention Watch Network and the Center for Constitutional Rights, ICE initially took the position that much of the information was protected by Exemption 4 (confidential business information). The court found that unit prices, bed-day rates, and staffing plans were not protected by Exemption 4 and ordered that data disclosed. The agency told the court that it was considering whether or not to appeal. The two contractors �" GEO and CoreCivic �" requested leave to intervene. The agency told the plaintiffs that it did not plan to appeal and GEO and CoreCivic were given permission to appeal to the Second Circuit. Detention Watch Network and the Center for Constitutional Rights argued that the contractors did not have standing to pursue an appeal. The Second Circuit ruled in favor of the requesters. GEO then filed a petition for certiorari to the Supreme Court and the Detention Watch Network and the Center for Constitutional Rights filed an opposition. The Supreme Court denied GEO's petition. ICE agreed to pay $220,000 in attorney's fees for the litigation in the district court. Detention Watch Network and the Center for Constitutional Rights then filed a motion to recover attorney's fees incurred in challenging the contractors' appeal to the Second Circuit and the Supreme Court. The government argued that it was not liable for the fees incurred in the appellate litigation because it was not a party to that litigation. The court disagreed, noting that "the plain language of FOIA's fee-shifting provision is clear �" this Court 'may assess against the United States reasonable attorney fees and other litigation costs reasonably incurred in any case under [FOIA] in which the complainant has substantially prevailed.'" The court pointed out that "plaintiffs brought this case under FOIA to compel the Government to produce records pertaining to ICE's detention bed quota. On appeal, Plaintiffs asserted that GEO and CoreCivic lacked standing under FOIA to pursue the appeal. Throughout the proceedings, this case was and is a FOIA action. Nothing in the statutory language confines its reach to parts actively litigated by or against the United States." The court indicated that "FOIA's goals are better served by reimbursing Plaintiffs for reasonable fees and costs incurred on appeal, particularly when Plaintiffs were appellees and prevailed in the district court. To do otherwise would discourage FOIA plaintiffs with meritorious cases from pursuing FOIA information critical to promoting an informed citizenry and holding agencies publicly accountable." The court pointed out that "the Government's interests did not diametrically diverge from those of Defendant-Intervenors. The Government chose not to appeal after GEO and CoreCivic had requested to intervene, and the Government did not oppose the intervention. Because the Government did not acquiesce to Plaintiffs' claims during the pendency of the appeals �" and indeed stood by while Defendant-Intervenors sought to defend the Government's actions on appeal �" Plaintiff's appellate work 'was made necessary by the [Government'] opposition.'"
Issues: Litigation - Attorney's fees - Eligibility, Litigation - Attorney's fees - Entitlement - Public benefit
