Mr. Millar,
We just received a “follow up” request (the same request) from Muckrock. I’m advising you of this because once again, the request is dated several days ago (9/6/18) and appears to have been sent via fax, but it has only just now made its way to the FOIA office. Would you please advise them the most efficient way to send a FOIA to DHS is through the email address on our website, which is:
Hopefully that will prevent future delays. Thanks in advance.
