To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:
1. All materials relied upon by DHS-OIG in preparation of Report No. OIG-19-51, including, but not limited to, photographs, interview notes, and electronic or paper communications;
2. All responses from Department of Homeland Security agency components, including, but not limited to ICE, CBP, and Immigrant Health Services Corps, regarding the recommendations in Report No. OIG-19-51.
3. All follow-up communications from OIG to any DHS agency component or Congressional liaison based on Report No. OIG-19-51.
4. All communications between OIG and subject-matter experts, including, but not limited to, public health officials.
Because the life and safety of migrants, including children, is at imminent risk as a result of the conditions documented in Report No. OIG-19-51, I hereby respectfully request Expedited Processing of this request.
I am requesting these documents as a journalist who has been covering immigration issues for the last five years at The Atlantic. Founded in 1857 and today one of the fastest growing media platforms in the industry, The Atlantic has throughout its history championed the power of big ideas and continues to shape global debate across print, digital, events, video, and audio platforms. With its award-winning digital presence TheAtlantic.com and CityLab.com on cities around the world, The Atlantic is a multimedia forum on the most critical issues of our times—from politics, global, and the economy, to technology, arts, and culture. The Atlantic was named the 2016 National Magazine of the Year and won a National Magazine Award in 2017 for its June 2017 cover story, “My Family’s Slave."
Currently, I'm an immigration reporter at CQ-Roll Call, one of the oldest Congressional publications in the U.S with a track record of award winning non-partisan journalism.
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 20 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Tanvi Misra

We need you to clarify #item 4 of your request where you ask for " All communication between OIG and subject matters experts, including, but not limited to, public health officials". We need to know are asking for that related to the OIG 19-51 report or is it something else? If it is something else please explain what is it that you are looking for and related to what?
Thanks,
