Court opinion issued July 19, 2021

Advancement Proj. v. DHS (D.D.C.) -- concluding that: (1) with limited exceptions, ICE properly relied on Exemption 5’s deliberative process privilege to withhold records concerning visa sanctions, including briefing materials and communications about press strategy; and (2) ICE properly withheld two categories of records under Exemption 7(E), but it did not adequately spell out how disclosure of another category of records would reveal a law enforcement technique, procedure, or guideline.
