Case DescriptionThe Church of the Eagle and the Condor submitted FOIA requests to the DEA and U.S. Customs and Border Protection for records concerning the seizure of ayahuasca, a controlled substance used by the Church as part of religious ceremonies. The Church also requested a fee waiver. The CBP acknowledged receipt of the request and released a heavily redacted copy of its Seized Asset Management and Enforcement Procedure Handbook. The Church filed an administrative appeal, challenging the denial of its fee waiver request and the redactions. The agency disclosed some portions of the handbook that had been previously redacted. The DEA acknowledged receipt of the Church's request, but failed to acknowledge receipt of a second request from the Church. After hearing nothing further from either agency, the Church filed suit.
