Hawkinson v. ICE (D. Mass.) -- finding that: (1) ICE and DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review properly withheld certain training material and related communications pursuant to Exemptions 5 and 7(C); (2) plaintiff had standing to bring pattern-and-practice claim against ICE and DHS for allegedly failing to timely provide accurate estimated completion dates, but that plaintiff’s claim failed on the merits; and (3) plaintiff did not have standing to bring pattern-and-practice claim against ICE and DHS for allegedly failing to properly report their FOIA response times; and (4) DHS complied with section 552(j)(1) by publicizing the identity and contact information of its Deputy Chief FOIA Officer, who “could be readily inferred” as serving as Acting Chief FOIA Officer while the Chief FOIA Officer position was vacant.
