Deleted Tweets by @USMarshalsGov

To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

I would like copies of all tweets deleted by the U.S. Marshals Service's Twitter feed (@USMarshalsGov) from September 2016 to the present. This would include any tweets sent out on Twitter that were deleted or kept in draft form from the Twitter account @USMarshalsGov. This request also would include copies of any e-mails or correspondence regarding the drafting and deletion of these tweets.

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.

I am a journalist whose works have appeared in Slate, VICE, the Massachusetts Review, Kill Screen, and elsewhere. This FOIA request is part of research for an ongoing piece of journalistic work, and as such, I am requesting a fee waiver. I have submitted versions of this FOIA request to other agencies, including the Office of Government Ethics, and in the process, I have been granted this fee waiver without question.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Muira McCammon

To Whom It May Concern:

I wanted to follow up on the following Freedom of Information request, copied below, originally submitted on November 20, 2017. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, USMS FOIA Administrative Team,

I submitted my FOIA request, "Deleted Tweets by @USMarshalsGov" on 11/20/2017. It contained the below request (see after the asterisks):

I never received an acknowledgment of the request and that is in part why I have been trying to confirm your receipt of it. Unfortunately, I know that I submitted it on 11/20/2017 and have documentation (electronic) that I did submit it.

I believe the initial request was sent to USMS.FOIA@usdoj.gov on 11/20/2017.

Thank you,
