From: Todd Feathers
To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
1) All "statistical or aggregated arrest data," as referenced in Section XI of 287(g) program memorandums of agreement, submitted to Immigration and Customs Enforcement since Jan. 1, 2009 by agencies participating in the 287(g) program.
I ask that all fees be waived as I am a journalist employed by the Lowell Sun and I intend to use the requested records to publish articles in the public interest and not for any commercial purposes. I also ask for expedited processing of this request as law enforcement agencies across the country are currently considering entering the 287(g) program, and their decisions will have immediate and life-changing ramifications -- such as the incarceration and/or deportation of family members -- for millions of Americans. Before agency officials or voters make decisions regarding the 287(g) program, which is currently garnering an unprecedented level of public interest, they should be supplied with all the information at the easy disposal of ICE. It should be noted how simple this request is: the requested record is a an already compiled spreadsheet that requires no redaction.
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,
Todd Feathers

Your request was received in this office on March 19, 2018. Due to the increasing number of FOIA requests received by this office, we may encounter some delay in processing your request. Per Section 5.5(a) of the DHS FOIA regulations, 6 C.F.R. Part 5, ICE processes FOIA requests according to their order of receipt. Although ICE’s goal is to respond within 20 business days of receipt of your request, the FOIA does permit a 10- day extension of this time period. As your request seeks numerous documents that will necessitate a thorough and wide-ranging search, ICE will invoke a 10-day extension for your request, as allowed by Title 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B). If you care to narrow the scope of your request, please contact our office. We will make every effort to comply with your request in a timely manner.

We will construe the submission of your request as an agreement to pay up to $25.00. You will be contacted before any further fees are accrued. We have queried the appropriate program offices within ICE for responsive records. If any responsive records are located, they will be reviewed for determination of releasability.
