2021-09-0746Joint STATUS REPORT by U.S. CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES, U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY, U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE, U.S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT. (Cirino, Paul) (Entered: 09/07/2021)
2021-09-08MINUTE ORDER: The Court has reviewed the parties' latest 46 Joint Status Report. At the June 22, 2021 status conference, the Court expressed concerns about the large volume of potentially responsive documents that remain to be reviewed by CBP. In response to these concerns, the parties indicated that they would work together in an effort to narrow the CBP portion of the search. The latest report indicates that the time needed to complete CBP's first-level responsiveness review has been reduced from over 22 months to a still lengthy "6-12 months." But it does not indicate the results of the parties' discussions about narrowing the search. Nor does it address the fact that, at a rate of "at least 350 pages per month," it could take CPB as long as 29 years to complete its "final review before release" of the 121,258 pages of documents that presumably have been deemed responsive following the first-level review. Accordingly, the Court hereby directs the parties, by September 15, 2021, to file a Joint Status Report addressing these topics. So Ordered. Status Report due by 9/15/2021. Signed by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 09/08/2021. (lccrc3) (Entered: 09/08/2021)

2021-10-1848Joint STATUS REPORT by U.S. CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION. (Cirino, Paul) (Entered: 10/18/2021)
2021-10-22MINUTE ORDER: Having reviewed the parties' latest 48 Joint Status Report, the Court agrees with plaintiff's proposal that a review of a sample of the 54,576 pages of documents returned from the new search using plaintiff's revised search terms could help determine whether those responsive documents are over-inclusive and, if so, could guide plaintiff's efforts to further narrow its search terms. The Court therefore directs defendants to produce a random sample of 500 pages of records within 45 days of this Order. The Court also notes that while FOIA may not "require the agency to secure Plaintiff's consent to a particular search," JSR at 2, the statute does obligate agencies to conduct an adequate search. As this Court recently observed, doing so requires agencies to search "all files likely" to contain responsive records, not simply those that are "most likely" to have responsive records. Sarras v. Dept of Justice , No. 19-cv-861 (CRC), ECF No. 44, slip op. at 9 (D.D.C. Aug. 5, 2021); see also, e.g. , DiBacco v. U.S. Army , 795 F.3d 178, 190 (D.C. Cir. 2015) ("'[M]ost likely' is not the relevant metric."). Accordingly, waiting until summary judgment to litigate CBP's decision to limit its search to Director McAleenan's emails because he is the "most likely" custodian of relevant documents, as the government suggests (JSR at 2), could well lead to a finding that the agency clearly disregarded its obligation to conduct an adequate search. Finally, the parties are hereby directed to file their next Joint Status Report on or before December 21, 2021. So Ordered. Signed by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 10/22/2021.
