Richmond City (Virginia) Sheriff's Office ICE referrals

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Virginia Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

A list or log of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement referrals made by the Richmond City Sheriff's Office since January 2016 grouped by month, year, and reason for arrest, reason for referral, and whether ICE took custody of the arrestee or not. If no such log is kept, please perform a word search on the police reporting system, using keywords: Immigration, ICE and detainer, and provide copies of records that indicate a referral was made to ICE.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Tom Nash
