To Whom It May Concern:

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

I request any and all data, documents and records entered into the Enforcement Integrated Database (EID) between January 1st, 2016 and January 1st, 2017 that include the investigation, arrest, booking, detention and removal reports of persons encountered during immigration and criminal law enforcement investigations and operations conducted by ICE. This includes information stored in the ENFORCE suite of software applications: ENFORCE Apprehension Booking Module, ENFORCE Alien Detention Module, and ENFORCE Alien Removal Module. I am specifically interested in data on non-violent criminal cases that resulted in deportation.

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,

Grace Raih

Alternatively, if you have a report that includes the numbers, by city and year, of investigation, arrest, booking, detention and removal reports, that would also satisfy my request.

I also request the annual statement of assurances conducted by the ICE Office of Assurance and Compliance for the year 2016.
