From: Andrew Free
I hereby appeal the agency's release in full. The agency failed to reasonably segregate the non-exempt information on all but two pages of this Report of Investigation. Consequently, the agency's redactions are improper and unsupported by law. Moreover, the agency failed to conduct an adequate search as demonstrated by the absence of any of the underlying investigative documents that would be expected to accompany this ROI -- including, for example, the NBC referral that sparked the investigation itself.
From: Department of Homeland Security Office of Inspector General
Mr. Free,
ICE's final response to your FOIA request, 2020-ICFO-35464, for any records of any component creating, receiving, or being notified of a Significant Incident Report taken by any Health and Human Services official from or involving an unaccompanied minor child in federal custody is attached.
