Case Summary

On Feb. 7, 2018, the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon filed this lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its component U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. § 552). Represented by its own counsel and by a private law firm, the plaintiff filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. The case was assigned to Magistrate Judge Paul Papak. According to the plaintiff, in Jan. …

On Feb. 7, 2018, the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon filed this lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its component U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (5 U.S.C. § 552). Represented by its own counsel and by a private law firm, the plaintiff filed this lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Oregon. The case was assigned to Magistrate Judge Paul Papak.

According to the plaintiff, in Jan. 2017, ICE had confirmed to news media that its agents were arresting noncitizens at Oregon courthouses. The plaintiff sought information on ICE practices of monitoring, detaining, and arresting individuals on suspicion of immigration violations at and around state courthouses within Oregon, as well as surveillance of legal observers filming federal immigration agents or participating in rallies, protests and vigils in the vicinity of courthouses in Oregon.

The plaintiff stated that it had submitted a FOIA request to ICE on Oct. 10, 2017, seeking the following:

1) Records created or received in the ICE Seattle Field Office or any ICE Oregon offices since Jan. 20, 2017 regarding immigration enforcement actions in or near Oregon courthouses;

2) Records concerning the number of individuals who had been detained, arrested, or otherwise subject to questioning by ICE agents or any officials working in cooperation with ICE, in or near an Oregon courthouse, since Jan. 1, 2017;

3) Records concerning policies, guidelines, and standards of conduct for officers conducting enforcement actions at or near courthouses;

4) Records concerning policies, guidelines, and standards of conduct related to discrimination, race-based or otherwise, for officers conducting enforcement actions;

5) Records regarding compliance with 8 U.S.C. § 1229(e) (procedures for the government to initiate removal proceedings), including internal policies;

6) Communications since Jan. 1, 2017 between any public employees working in an Oregon county’s district attorney’s office and any ICE employees working in Oregon;

7) Communications since Jan. 1, 2017 between any public employees working in Oregon’s judicial branch and any ICE employees working in Oregon;

8) Communications since Jan. 1, 2017 between any public employees working for an Oregon law enforcement agency and any ICE employees working in Oregon;

9) Records concerning activities and enforcement action(s) of ICE agents or officials working in Hillsboro, OR on Sept. 18, 2017 (site of the arrest of two Latino U.S. citizens at a courthouse vigil, who alleged that ICE racially profiled and wrongly identified them as undocumented persons);

10) Records created by ICE agents or officials who were deployed to, worked in, or present in Hillsboro, OR on Sept. 18, 2017;

11) Communications with or records sent from any ICE official to any other federal government agency or official with information from, about, or related to events or persons at the Washington County courthouse(s) and/or in Hillsboro, OR on Sept. 18, 2017.

The complaint further alleged that, at the time the complaint was filed, the plaintiff had not received a substantive response from any of the defendant agencies, and that the plaintiff had constructively exhausted all required administrative remedies. The plaintiff sought a disclosure order under FOIA, legal fees, and expedited action.

On June 26, the court ordered the defendants to produce 2,500 pages of records per month for July and August. In August, the court ordered the defendants to produce in September all of the documents currently in ICE's possession relating to specific search terms provided by the plaintiffs, as well as 5,000 records per month in October and November.

The case was reassigned to Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo on Sept. 20.

In a November status report, the plaintiff reported that the defendants' production of responsive records remained incomplete and that they had been failing to comply with the court's production order for the previous two months. Consequently, the plaintiff requested additional court involvement in order to obtain the defendants' compliance. The defendants argued that they could not produce the court-ordered number of pages in the timeframes set forward due to lack of staff and overall FOIA workload.

In a November 28, 2018, telephonic proceeding, the court ordered the defendants to produce all outstanding documents by July 1, 2019 (with a production rate of at least 2,000 documents per month). This deadline was later changed to Aug. 1, 2019.

In an Aug. 2019 status report the parties reported that the defendants had completed initial production of all identified records responsive to the plaintiff's Oct. 2017 FOIA request. The parties requested additional time to confer and discuss issues the plaintiff had identified concerning the records produced. The defendants later agreed to some supplemental record production, but the parties continued to disagree over the scope of redactions and information withheld by the defendants.

On April 7, 2020, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment. The defendants argued that they had properly withheld information under various FOIA exemptions and privileges and that they had complied with their obligations under FOIA.

On July 14, 2020, plaintiffs filed a stipulation of dismissal with prejudice and Magistrate Judge Russo ordered the case dismissed on July 15, 2020 without costs awarded to either party. The court implied that the case had been settled in a previous order directing the parties to file their final papers, but we do not have access to the settlement. This case is now over.

ORDER issued by Magistrate Judge Jolie A. Russo: Defendant's Motion for Extension of Time 43 is Granted. Defendant represents both that the information contained in its pending motion came directly from ICE's counsel and there are no further details to add via a declaration, and that ICE is on track to produce the remaining domain-name documents prior to the current deadline. In addition, defendant represents that the erroneous Vaughn index is a draft document that was not finalized, but nonetheless a finalized and corrected version will be produced pursuant to defendant's motion for summary judgment. Finally, defendant has agreed to produce a complete set of documents as soon as the corrected Vaughn index is finished; until that time, the complete set of documents to be re-released cannot be determined. Accordingly, none of the conditions requested by plaintiff in regard to defendant's proposed extension, which they do not oppose, appear warranted. Any remaining issues regarding production or the Vaughn index can be raised at the Telephone Status Conference scheduled for 3/30/2020. The dispositive motion briefing schedule is extended as follows: Defendants' Dispositive motion due by 4/3/2020. Plaintiff's Response to dispositive motion and cross-motion due by 5/11/2020. Defendants' Reply to response to dispositive motion and response to cross-motion due by 6/8/2020. Plaintiff's Reply to cross-motion due by 7/6/2020. (gm) (Entered: 03/12/2020)
