SDNY COURTHOUSE,
August 17 – U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement has
been sued for non-response to
a Freedom of Information Act
request for its handbooks on
human smuggling,
counter-terrorism and its
Narcotics and Transnational
Organized Crime Rewards
Program.
On August 17, U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York Judge Jed
S. Rakoff held a proceeding.
Inner City Press covered it.
ICE
not surprisingly says it has
acted in good faith. Judge
Rakoff set a briefing
schedule, including time for a
reply and then sought to
choose a time for argument.
October 19
he was told he has both a
criminal and a civil jury
trial and something else at 4
pm.
He quipped, What
are you guys doing at
midnight?
On October 29
Judge Rakoff held an oral
argument, which Inner City
Press again covered. At the
end, Judge Rakoff again joked,
this time that he was looking
forward to reviewing documents
"in camera." And he will.
The case is
Brennan Center For Justice v.
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, 21-cv-2443
(Rakoff)
