To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
The report requested by the "Presidential Executive Order on Enforcing Federal Law with Respect to Transnational Criminal Organizations and Preventing International Trafficking." That order, issued on February 9, 2017, directed the interagency Threat Mitigation Working Group to, "within 120 days of the date of this order, submit to the President a report on transnational criminal organizations and subsidiary organizations, including the extent of penetration of such organizations into the United States."
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,
Harry Cheadle

Your request was received in this office on October 03, 2019. By letter, dated October 03, 2019, we advised you that due to the increasing number of FOIA requests received by this office, we could encounter some delay in processing your request. We sincerely apologize for the delay and any inconvenience it may have caused. However, we want to let you know that we have been making earnest and diligent efforts to reduce the backlog of cases, and that your file is scheduled to be reviewed in the near future. Before we begin the time-consuming review process, we want to ensure that you are still interested in continuing the processing of this request. Please indicate your continued interest in pursuing these records within 30 business days from the date of this letter, or we will assume you are no longer interested in this FOIA request, and the case will be administratively closed.
Your request has been assigned reference number 2020-ICFO-02038. Please refer to this identifier in any future correspondence. To check the status of an ICE FOIA/PA request, please visit .
