Dear Emily Crose:
This notice acknowledges receipt of your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) received on 06/14/2019 in which you are seeking any handwritten, email, electronic or audio/visual records including the terms:
"Dog Pound"
"Freezer"
"The Freezer"
Please be advised, searching all of CBP for handwritten or audio/visual records would be overburdensome on the agency. Please revise your request to include only email searches.
Please use the following unique FOIA tracking number CBP-2019-060239 to track the status of your request. If you have not already done so, you must create a FOIAonline account at https://foiaonline.gov. This is the only method available to check the status of your pending FOIA request. (https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/)
Provisions of the Act allow us to recover part of the cost of complying with your request. We shall charge you for records in accordance with the DHS FOIA regulations outlined on the DHS website, https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/22/2016-28095/freedom-of-information-act-regulations. By submitting your request, you have agreed to pay up to $25.00 in applicable processing fees, if any fees associated with your request exceed this amount, CBP shall contact you; however, the first 100 pages are free. (https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2016/11/22/2016-28095/freedom-of-information-act-regulations)
Due to the increasing number of FOIA requests received by this office, we may encounter some delay in processing your request. Consistent with 6 C.F.R. Part 5 § 5.5(a) of the DHS FOIA regulations, CBP processes FOIA requests according to their order of receipt. Although CBP’s goal is to respond within 20 business days of receipt of your request, FOIA does permit a 10-day extension of this time period in certain circumstances pursuant to 6 C.F.R. Part 5 § 5.5(c).
CBP’s FOIA Division is working hard to reduce the amount of time necessary to respond to FOIA requests. Currently, the average time to process a FOIA request related to "travel/border incidents" is a minimum of 3-6 months. We truly appreciate your continued patience.
For additional information please consult CBP FOIA website please click on FOIA Act Resources or visit (http://www.cbp.gov/site-policy-notices/foia) http://www.cbp.gov/site-policy-notices/foia. (http://www.cbp.gov/site-policy-notices/foia)

Ms. Best,
Upon conferring with CBP's component office tasked with conducting the email portion of your request, they are recommending the scope be narrowed as the search terms are too common and may produce voluminous amounts of unproductive data. Additionally, without identifying specific email boxes, they are unable to ascertain whether the email addresses searched would be associated with immigrant detainment facilities. Please “respond all” to this email, as I have CCed myself, and will happy to assist you with reshaping your request in order to get the information you are seeking. If a response is not received within 10 working days (by July 3), your request will be considered insufficient and be closed as such.
Thank you,

Hello Ms. Drengson,
Could you please confirm the content of the FOIA request relevant to your recent communication (copied below)? I believe it was directed to an unrelated FOIA request, and I'm trying to direct it to the appropriate location.
