PlaintiffDavid Elliott Gluckman
Case DescriptionDavid Gluckman submitted a FOIA request to U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement for records concerning how it classifies paperwork violations for businesses hiring immigrant workers and how fees are calculated. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request and invoked a 10-day time extension. The agency finally responded with a single Excel spreadsheet and 36 pages of responsive records, 13 pages of which were redacted under several exemptions. Gluckman appealed the agency's denial and the agency upheld its decision. Gluckman attempted to get the agency to reconsider its decision, but after hearing nothing further, Gluckman filed suit.
