How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- recognizing that “assessment of border vulnerabilities is directly related to the potential violation of federal immigration laws and the CBP’s duty to deter illegal immigration and to apprehend illegal immigrants”
- holding that production of email attachments in response to FOIA request was not required where parties had agreed to limit production of emails to the same production the agency had made in previous litigation, which production had not included email attachments
- concluding Exemption 6 did not authorize withholding of names and addresses of private citizen landowners in email communications with U.S Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”
- holding parties to narrowing of request in joint status report and subsequent order
- stating information related to “how CBP officials assess vulnerable areas along the border, that could be used to encourage decisions to violate the law or evade punishment.” (internal quotation marks and citation omitted)
- directing release of names and addresses of private landowners in emails between landowners and U.S. Customs and Border Protection in part because disclosure would help the public to understand the consequences of constructing a wall along the U.S.–Mexico border
