Please submit your FOIA request in writing via the online portal or mail and reasonably describe the records you’re seeking.
When possible, please include specific information that may assist ICE in identifying the requested records such as: date, title or name, author, recipient, subject matter, case number, file designation, or reference/case number. A timeframe may speed up the search process as well.
Please know that the FOIA does not require we answer your questions. A question does not amount to a FOIA request. If you have a question about an ICE policy or activity please contact ICE.
If you are requesting ICE records about yourself or on behalf of someone else, please complete the Certification of Identity form.
If you are requesting an amendment or correction to an ICE record please contact the ICE Privacy Office at: ICEPrivacy@ice.dhs.gov or 500 12th St., SW Stop 5004 Washington, DC 20536-5004.
