Additionally, I am hereby requesting any and all emails, memos, faxes, text messages, written letters, and all other relevant correspondences, internal to ICE, between ICE and its private contractors, or between ICE and other government agencies related to these chemicals and their use at the ICE facility inside the Glades County Detention Center in Florida and the Adelanto ICE detention center in California, operated by the private prison company GEO Group.

Good Afternoon Mr. Phelan,
Providing you with the same response that we provided on June 8, 2020.
Any information you are requesting from ICE ERO Miami Field Office would need to go through the FOIA process.

From: Matthew Phelan
Thanks.
A request was filed through the ICE's own FOIA process on 06/03/2020. It has been assigned reference number 2020-ICFO-52252. Please refer to this identifier in any future correspondence.
I would respectfully suggest that you contact the ICE FOIA Public Liaison, Fernando Pineiro, via either ice-foia@ice.dhs.gov or (866) 633-1182, if you and the rest of the Miami Field Office have yet to hear from the ICE FOIA Public Liaison offices pursuant to my request. This is already pretty late in the process.
Secondarily, as stated in my 06/05/2020 correspondence with you, I am also requesting documents from your Miami offices specifically via Florida's own state open records law, in addition to the federal FOIA law handled elsewhere.
To reiterate: Pursuant to Article I, section 24 of the Florida Constitution, and chapter 119, F.S., I request any and all emails, memos, faxes, text messages, written letters, and all other relevant correspondences, internal to ICE's Miami Field Office, between ICE's Miami Field Office and its private contractors, or between ICE's Miami Field Office and other government agencies related to their COVID-19 pandemic response plans, specifically the use of either the disinfectant chemical HDQ Neutral manufactured by Spartan Chemical, the disinfectant chemical Mint (see attached image of label), and/or any other disinfectant or sterilizing chemicals used for these COVID-19 pandemic response procedures at the ICE facility inside the Glades County Detention Center in Florida.
Here is a link to that state statute: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=0100-0199/0119/Sections/0119.01.html
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. Please inform me of your name and telephone contact information, if you feel this request is unclear in any way.
Fond Regards, Sincerely,
Matthew Phelan
