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? Finally
September 29 at 4 pm was
arrived at.
The case is
Brennan Center For Justice v.
U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, 21-cv-2443
(Rakoff)
