Case DescriptionThe ACLU submitted two FOIA requests to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for records concerning the detention of asylum seekers. The ACLU also requested expedited processing and a fee waiver. ICE denied the ACLU's request for expedited processing and a fee waiver. The ACLU appealed both decisions and the agency upheld its denial of expedited processing, but granted the fee waiver request. ICE provided some records, including publicly available policy statements. The ACLU appealed the adequacy of the search for both requests and ICE remanded the requests for further processing. After hearing nothing further from the agency, the ACLU filed suit. This is essentially the same complaint as 3:2016cv006066 although it was assigned to a different judge.
