RE: ICE FOIA Case Number 2024-ICFO-10612
Dear Requester:
This acknowledges receipt of your 12/18/2023, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), for any records of communication between ICE and The GEO Group regarding the Moshannon Valley ICE Processing Center from April 1, 2021, through November 15, 2023. Your request was received in this office on 12/18/2023.
After careful review of your FOIA request, we determined that your request is too broad in scope and did not specifically identify the records which you are seeking. Records must be described in reasonably sufficient detail to enable government employees who are familiar with the subject area to locate records without placing an unreasonable burden upon the agency. For this reason, ยง5.3(b) of the DHS regulations, 6 C.F.R. Part 5, require that you describe the records you are seeking with as much information as possible to ensure that our search can locate them with a reasonable amount of effort. Whenever possible, a request should include specific information about each record sought, such as the date, title or name, author, recipients, and subject matter of the records, if known, or the ICE program office you believe created and/or controls the record. The FOIA does not require an agency to create new records, answer questions posed by requesters, or attempt to interpret a request that does not identify specific records.
Please resubmit your request containing a reasonable description of the records you are seeking. Please include a subject matter for the communication and the name or title/office of the ICE employees you are interested we search for records. Upon receipt of a perfected request, you will be advised as to the status of your request.
If we do not hear from you within 30 days from the date of this letter, we will assume you are no longer interested in this FOIA request, and the case will be administratively closed. Please be advised that this action is not a denial of your request and will not preclude you from filing other requests in the future. If you have any questions please contact FOIA Public Liaison Daniel Edgington at (866) 633-1182 or the address above.
Your request has been assigned reference number 2024-ICFO-10612.
Sincerely,
ICE FOIA Office
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
