June 26, 2020 Andrew Free MuckRock 411A Highland Ave Dept MR 76967 Somerville, MA 02144 RE: ICE FOIA Case Number 2020-ICFO-58288 Dear Mr. Free: This acknowledges receipt of your July 10, 2019, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), for all Contract Discrepancy Reports provided by ICE (OAQ) to CoreCivic on or after January 1, 2017. Your request was received in this office on June 26, 2020. Due to the increasing number of FOIA requests received by this office, we may encounter some delay in processing your request. Per Section 5.5(a) of the DHS FOIA regulations, 6 C.F.R. Part 5, ICE processes FOIA requests according to their order of receipt. Although ICE’s goal is to respond within 20 business days of receipt of your request, the FOIA does permit a 10- day extension of this time period. As your request seeks numerous documents that will necessitate a thorough and wide-ranging search, ICE will invoke a 10-day extension for your request, as allowed by Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B). If you care to narrow the scope of your request, please contact our office. We will make every effort to comply with your request in a timely manner. Provisions of the FOIA allow us to recover part of the cost of complying with your request. We shall charge you for records in accordance with the DHS Interim FOIA regulations, as they apply to media requesters. As a media requester, you will be charged 10 cents per page for duplication; the first 100 pages are free. We will construe the submission of your request as an agreement to pay up to $25.00. You will be contacted before any further fees are accrued. We have queried the appropriate program offices within ICE for responsive records. If any responsive records are located, they will be reviewed for determination of releasability. Please be assured that one of the processors in our office will respond to your request as expeditiously as possible. We appreciate your patience as we proceed with your request.

Alrighty.
So you understand how facially deficient this search was, here's a report for the Majority Staff of the House Government Oversight Committee that includes two Contract Discrepancy Reports ICE failed to provide in response to our request (see footnotes 75 and 79 and compare with the CDRs in the responsive records): https://oversight.house.gov/sites/democrats.oversight.house.gov/files/2020-09-24.%20Staff%20Report%20on%20ICE%20Contractors.pdf.
Thanks for your clarification. We'll go so a judge about it.
