1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC 20229 US. Customs and Border Protection Released through FOIAonline. June 28, 2018 CBP-2017-041471 Austin Evers American Oversight Washington, DC Dear Mr. Evers: As agreed to in American Oversight v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et at., Case No. 1:17-cv-01187-RDM (D.C.), this is the first interim response to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), in which you are seeking communications regarding the cost, availability of funds, appropriations, and budget, for the proposed wall along the U.S. – Mexico border. A search of CBP databases produced 302 pages of records. CBP has determined that 36 pages are released in full, 36 pages are withheld in full, and 230 pages are partially releasable, pursuant to Title 5 U.S.C. § 552 (b)(5), (b)(6), and (b)(7)(E). Uploaded to your FOIAonline account are 302 pages with certain information withheld as described below: FOIA Exemption (b)(5) exempts from disclosure information considered to be predecisional and deliberative, information that is attorney-client privilege, and inter-agency or intra-agency memoranda or letters which would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency. FOIA Exemption (b)(6) exempts from disclosure personnel or medical files and similar files the release of which would cause a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. This requires a balancing of the public’s right to disclosure against the individual’s right privacy. The types of documents and/or information that we have withheld may consist of birth certificates, naturalization certificates, driver license, social security numbers, home addresses, dates of birth, or various other documents and/or information belonging to a third party that are considered personal. The privacy interests of the individuals in the records you have requested outweigh any minimal public interest in disclosure of the information. Any private interest you may have in that information does not factor into the aforementioned balancing test. FOIA Exemption (b)(7)(E) protects records compiled for law enforcement purposes, the release of which would disclose techniques and/or procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions, or would disclose guidelines for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions if such disclosure could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law. CBP has determined that disclosure could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law. This completes CBP’s first interim response to your request. If you have questions or concerns regarding this first interim response, you may contact Assistant United States Attorney W. Mark Nebeker at (202) 252-2536 or mark.nebeker@usdoj.gov. Please notate file number CBP-2017-041471 on any future correspondence to CBP related to this request.

Can't wait for this brief.... Trump plans to issue two executive orders Wednesday during his visit to the Department of Homeland Security, according to a person familiar with the President's plan.  The first will direct the agency to begin construction of the border wall, as well as take steps to repair existing areas of fencing along the frontier between the US and Mexico. The order will also include a mandate to increase staff at Customs and Border Protection by 5,000 and alleviate the flood of migrants fleeing violence in Central America. According to the person familiar with the plans, Trump's executive order will require DHS to publicly detail what aid is currently directed to Mexico, an indication of an eventual move toward redirecting some of that money to fund the wall's construction — and giving cover for a longstanding campaign promise to have Mexico pay for the structure.   A second order will work to eliminate so-called "sanctuary cities," where municipal governments refuse to hand over undocumented immigrants to federal authorities. That order will triple resources for Immigration and Custom Enforcement and direct the federal government to identify criminal aliens in the US.

The first will direct the agency to begin construction of the border wall, as well as take steps to repair existing areas of fencing along the frontier between the US and Mexico. The order will also include a mandate to increase staff at Customs and Border Protection by 5,000 and alleviate the flood of migrants fleeing violence in Central America. According to the person familiar with the plans, Trump's executive order will require DHS to publicly detail what aid is currently directed to Mexico, an indication of an eventual move toward redirecting some of that money to fund the wall's construction — and giving cover for a longstanding campaign promise to have Mexico pay for the structure. A second order will work to eliminate so-called "sanctuary cities," where municipal governments refuse to hand over undocumented immigrants to federal authorities. That order will triple resources for Immigration and Custom Enforcement and direct the federal government to identify criminal aliens in the US.

This funding was originally justified for • requirements. It will now fund borde r wall requirements. As such, there is no net unpact to 1e PP A. I. Description /Justification Funding Uses: Border Wall Requirements (to be funded through a reprogramming) Ptu·suant to Section 4(a) and 4(b) of the Executive Order entitled "Border Security and Immigration Enforcemen t Improvements" issued by the President on Januaiy 25, 20 17, the Secretary has identified $20 million of immedia tely available funding to begin planning , designing , and constru cting a physical wall along the southern land border with Mex ico, in accordan ce with existing law. The Secretaiy directed CBP to consult the appropriate executive depruiments and agencies, and relevant nongove rnmental entities to immediately begin plannin g, design , constrnction , and , and maintenance of a wall, including the attendant lighting, technology (includin° ffp patrol and access roads. 1 DHS-17-0045-B-000028 ·:·, CBP plans to issue a solicitation to industry in early March to seek prop osals for several prototype wall designs along the southern border. CBP will use the reprogrammed funding to award design-bu ild contracts to develop border wall prototypes that meet CBP operational requirement s. CBP will also use reprogrammed funding to acquire necessaiy conn-actor resources (e.g., project mana gers, engineers, environmenta l specialists) to suppo1i the program from concept through initial produ ction . Additional resources will be required to suppo1i sustained full rate production. It is impo1iant to note that this reprogrammin g only addresses initial plannin g and construct ion of the wall prototype s and does not account for broader border security infrastructure system requirement s necessary to implement the Executive Order. CBP is in the process of finalizing its operational requirements for a broader border security infrastructure system . Border Wall Re uirement s TOTAL BSFIT (b) (7)(E) D&D $20,000,000 $20,000,000 Funding Sources: The following sources of funding from within the legacy Border Security Fencing, fufrastructure , and Technology (BSFIT) appropri ation have been identified to pay for these activities: I . (b) (7)( E) ($15 million) : These are FY 2015/ 17 BSFIT ent (D&D) funds, of which $43.7M was re uested for ... , ...,.... ,-, ..., deployments.

Contr·act savings result from delays due to a series of contr·act prote sts, contr·actor design chand integration issues that pose risk to the execution of the FY 2015 fundin g for the • program, which will expire on ~mber 30, 20 17 .

Mission Impact Summary As a1t iculated in the Executive Order, the construction of a physical wall along the southern border is essential to effectively achieving complete operational contro l of the southern border. The Secretaiy 's "Implementing the President's Border Security and Immigratio n Enforcement Improve ments Policies" memorandum explains that a wall along the south ern border "is necessary to deter and prevent the illegal entry of aliens and is a critical component of the President's overall border security sti-ategy." The constrnction of physical ban iers and roads at the border to prevent illegal immigratio n is ak eady authorized by several statutory provisio ns, including section 102 of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, as amended, 8 US. C. § 1103 note (Improvement of Barriers at Border) . III. Impact of Department or Congressional Policies The Secretaiy executes the border wall funding actio ns to comply with Section 4(a) and 4(b) of the Executive Order : Border Security and Immigratio n Enforcement Improvements (January 25, 2017) , which directs that: "The Secretary shall immediately take the following steps to obta in complete operational conti-ol, as determin ed by the Secretaiy , of the southern border : (a) In accordance with existing law, including the Secure Fence Act and IIRIRA , take all appropriate steps to immediately plan , design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border , using appropr iate materials and technology to most effectively achieve complete operational conti-ol of the southern border; (b) Identify and, to the extent penni tted by law, allocate all sources of Federal funds for the planning, designing, an d constrncting of a physical wall along the southern border". IV. Impact on Future Appropriation s The funding identified from thefence replacement projects is from unanticipated contr·act savings an d will have no immediate impact on future appropriations. The available funding intended for is due to a conti-act protest, and the progr ain will be re-evaluated for possible impacts on future budget requests. thr-ft The Adm inistr·ation will continue to work with Congress on str·ategies to fund the remaining requirements to implement the President's Executive Order on Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improve ments. 3 DHS-17-0045-B-000030 From: To: (b) (6) (b) (6) Cc: (b) (6) Subject: Date: Attachments: FW: FY 2017 Budget Amendment - CBP Friday, March 17, 2017 10:47:49 PM DHS FY 2017 Budget Amendment Justification.pdf FYI – Huge thanks to you and your teams for all of the hard work that went into this!   From: Sent: Friday, March 17, 2017 10:42 PM To: (b) (6) (Appropriations) (b) (6) @appro.senate.gov>; (b) (6) @mail.house.gov>; @mail.house.gov>; (b) (6) (b) (6) (Appropriations) (b) (6) @appro.senate.gov> Cc: @mail.house.gov)    @mail.house.gov>; (b) (6) (b) (6) @mail.house.gov>; @mail.house.gov>; (b) (6) (b) (6) (b) (6) (Appropriations) (b) (6) @appro.senate.gov>; (b) (6) (Appropriations) @appro.senate.gov>; @mail.house.gov) (b) (6) (b) (6) (b) (6) (b) (6) @mail.house.gov>; (b) (6) - - > Subject: RE: FY 2017 Budget Amendment - CBP   All –   Please see the attached budget justifications for the FY 2017 Budget Amendment.

Funds requested for U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would support high priority tactical infrastructure and border security technology investments, including efforts to plan, design, and construct a physical wall along the southern border. The request also includes funding for DHS agencies to begin building the administrative capacity necessary to recruit, hire, train, and equip an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents and 10,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. Further, the request proposes funding to increase daily immigration detention capacity to 45,700 detention beds by the end of FY 2017. This additional detention capacity is necessary to implement Administration policies for removing illegal aliens from the United States by enhancing interior enforcement efforts. Funding proposed for DHS would also be used to establish a real-time border and immigration data integration system within the Office of Immigration Statistics, and for other new border and immigration analyses.

IMMEDIATE BORDER WALL CONTR UCTION & PLAN Overview As the frontline border agency in the U.S. Departm ent of Homel and Security (DHS), U .S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP ) has the dual mission of preventing susp ected tetTorists, te1rn rist we apons, and other contraband from entering the United States, while also AMERtCAN PVERSIGHT DHS-10 BW15 FOIACBP 000044 DHS-17-0045-B-000044 Congressional Justification (Amendment) Department of Homeland Security facilitating the flow of legitimate trade and travel into and out of the United States. CBP ensures that all persons an d cargo enter the United States legally and safely through official checkpoints and po1is of entry. CBP achieves its mission using a comb ination of advanced info1mation, risk assessment , appropr iate scanning and other technologies, and by paiinering with Federal , state, local, ti·ibal, and foreign law enforceme nt agencies as well as private industi-y and international paiiners . CBP 's over 60,000 highly-ti·ained emplo yees ensure that the agency perfo1ms its inission with vigilance , integrity, and profe ssionalism . The Operations and Suppo1i funds all operatin g costs required to achieve CBP 's dual inission. The primai-y drivers behind these costs are the salai·ies and benefits (S&B) of CBP operati onal and mission suppo1i personnel. The balance of this appropriation is comprised of the operatio ns and maintenance (O&M) costs necessai-yto sustain the daily effectiveness of CBP equipment and facilities. Without the resource s requested in this appropr iation, CBP would experience a degradat ion of frontline operatio ns. The following reque st is organized by the four speci fic sections within Executive Order 13767, "Bo rder Security and Immigrati on Enforcement Imp rovements .

Costs will recur and will Office of Facilitie s and Asset Management Staff ($4.837M I 40 FTE) CBP requests $4.837 million in two-year funding for the salaries and benefits for an increase of 53 personnel (40 FTE / 53 FTP, all in FY 20 18) across the two -year per iod in suppo1i of the Executive Order for the immediate constrnct ion and plann ing of the Border Wall. BACKGRO UND The Office of Facilities an d Asset Management 's (OFAM) current areas of responsibility include manag ing an d overseeing CBP ' s Tactical Infrastrncture, facilities, vehicles , unifon ns an d personal prope1iy. Executive Order 13767, "Border Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements" included direction for the immed iate constrnction and planning of a border wall , which represents a significant ramp up in mission , requirements , personnel, and fun ding needs for OF AM . JUSTIFICATION The total of 40 Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) requested will work in full suppo1i of activit ies associated with the Executive Order, which includes initial planning, project manageme nt for constrnction, and also the cont inued oversight and mainte nance of the Border Wall upon completion of constrnction . These positions are intended to be a pe1mane nt adjustment to the base as there will be significant work required to maintain the Border Wall and related tactical infrastrncture even after planning and constrnct ion is completed. The cmTent baseline level of resources for OFAM only has the capac ity to suppo1i cmTent miss ion activit ies, which include the continued maintenance of the existing tactical infrastrncture , facilities, vehicles, unifo1ms an d personal prope1iy for the entire Agency. AMERfCAN PVERSIGHT DH S-12 BW15 FOIA CBP 000046 DHS-17-0045-B-000046 Congressional Justification (Amendment) Department of Homeland Security At the current resource level, CBP would be challenged to support the new Executive Order requirements without significant impacts to current baseline missions, which would include reallocating personnel that operate, maintain, and oversee operations of existing facilities and to begin the planning efforts for the new facility and asset requirements associated with the expected increase in 5,000 Border Patrol Agents. Office of Chief Counsel Staff ($2.112M / 10 FTE) CBP requests $2.112 million in two-year funding to hire an additional 12 positions and 10 FTE (1 FTE in FY 2017 and 9 FTE in FY 2018) within the Office of the Chief Counsel (OCC). BACKGROUND OCC’s base request funds mission critical legal advice, representation, and counsel to CBP. OCC is comprised of 29 offices (28 in field locations), and is authorized to employ attorneys and support staff with unique expertise in, and knowledge of, laws enforced by or impacting CBP. OCC handles all legal and ethics issues involving CBP’s global operations, both domestic and foreign. OCC attorneys provide legal services to CBP officials in matters relating to the activities and functions of CBP, including matters involving enforcement, operations, real property, trade, fiscal, procurement, ethics, labor, and employment. OCC requires supplemental funding to ensure timely implementation of the agency’s construction of the physical wall on the southwest border pursuant to the Executive Order. OCC’s comprehensive legal services to CBP include representing the agency in offensive and defensive litigation in all federal courts, as well as representing the agency in all third-party administrative hearings. OCC will provide significant litigation support in defense of various challenges to the construction of the physical wall, including defending challenges to the Secretary of Homeland Security’s exercise of waiver authority under Section 102(a) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA), as amended, as well as in the condemnation of land along the southwest border. OCC provides appropriations and fiscal law advice, reviews contractual, procurement, and real property actions, and ensures compliance of proposed agency actions and policies with legal requirements. JUSTIFICATION OCC has experienced a significant increase in legal services on enforcement matters, including immigration, litigation involving the agency’s detention and processing of aliens, and in legal services resulting from the agency’s expansion of the Tactical Infrastructure Program, including the construction of a physical wall on the southwest border as mandated by Executive Order 13767, “Border VERSIGHT DHS- 13 BW15 FOIA CBP 000047 DHS-17-0045-B-000047 Congressional Justification (Amendment) Department of Homeland Security Security and Immigration Enforcement Improvements”. OCC will require additional positions and non-pay funding to ensure the agency’s timely implementation of the EO requirements. OCC anticipates an unprecedented increase in legal support in real property, procurement, fiscal law, as well as overall programmatic support to advance the construction of a physical wall. Further, OCC will provide significant litigation support in defense of various challenges to the construction of the physical wall, as well as in the condemnation of land along the southwest border. For instance, if the Secretary of Homeland Security exercises the waiver authority under Section 102(a) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), as amended, OCC will be responsible for defending any challenges to the waiver. The waiver authority has been exercised five times; all five times were challenged in federal court. Notably, in 2007, when the agency undertook the construction of 225 miles of pedestrian fencing (fence designed to prevent the illicit passage of people across the border) along the southwest border, the agency initiated nearly 400 land acquisition actions border-wide, 300 of which involved the filing of condemnation actions. Operations Contract Support ($6M / 0 FTE) CBP requests $6 million in two-year funding for Operations Support, to produce documentation, integrate requirements, and allow for the development of advanced metrics for the southwest border in support of Executive Order requirements. BACKGROUND The Joint Requirements Integration and Management System was developed, in part, to ensure that the operational missions of DHS were pursuing the “right” capabilities to improve mission accomplishment supported by the analytical rigor necessary to support our decision making. The Acquisition Management Lifecycle is most effective when it can respond to well researched, measurable, achievable requirements. In support of this, Capabilities and Requirements Division (CRD) was created to help bridge the gap between the operational community and the solution development community (including Acquisition). Within the Operations Support Office of CBP, the CRD is responsible for assisting the operational components in articulating their needs and conducting the mission analysis to ensure CBP is pursuing the right capabilities. Across government and industry, failed acquisitions and unsuccessful operational strategies can be traced back to an improper articulation of the actual need. In addition, CRD also conducts operational test and evaluation to ensure that solutions delivered are effective and suitable to operate in their intended environment. VERSIGHT DHS- 14 BW15 FOIA CBP 000048 DHS-17-0045-B-000048 Congressional Justification (Amendment) Departm ent of Hom eland Security JUSTIFICATION fuvestment in this area will suppo1i the developme nt of operat ional requirements for the Executive Orders regarding CBP operations including the border wall and operational control of the southwest border. These resomces will also suppo1i the development of concepts of operation to aiiicu late how the Executive Order parameters will impact the way CBP will operate . fu addition to requirements and operational concepts, this investment will provide resomces to deten nine the appropriate metrics to measm e the effective ness of CBP 's response to the Executive Orders as they ai·e delivered. The specific deliverables directly impacted by this investme nt will be the JRIMS ' Capability Analysis Study Plan (CASP) and the Capabi lity Analysis Repo1i (CAR) and the Acquisition Lifecycle's Mission Needs Statement, Operationa l Requirements Docum ent, Concept of Operat ions, and Test and Evaluation Master Plan . Conducting appropriate analysis increases the likelihoo d that delivered solutions achieve the desired result. CRD has an estab lished relationship with CBP's operational compo nents and can provide immediate value from an increase in resom ces. A current CRD priority is the developme nt of Operational Concepts for each CBP operating domain to provide broad context for CBP 's needs and suppo1i gap analysis. We ai·e also engaged in requirements effo1is across the spectrum of Executive Orders regarding CBP operations including the Wall andoperat ional control of the southwest border. Although paii of CBP 's long te1m personnel str·ategy, the Agency does not cmTently grow this capab ility organically. Additional contract staff will allow greater engageme nt with both CBP's operatio nal compone nts as well as the Joint Requ irements Council and the CBP program offices . II.

This amendment to the FY 2017 President’s Budget supports a robust suite of infrastructure investments to help CBP achieve operational control of the southern border, as required by the President’s Executive Orders on border security. CBP anticipates investing approximately $999 million in FY 2017. JUSTIFICATION The $999 million investment includes the construction of a new Border Wall system in areas identified by United States Border Patrol (USBP) as operational requirements, to include: (b) (7)(E) The costs above are estimates that will be refined as projects are further defined and designs are developed. This funding will allow CBP to fund design, real estate planning, environmental planning and acquisition, construction and construction oversight for a new border wall system to include fence replacement in (b) (7)(E) , as well as a new border wall system and (b) (7)(E)wall system in the Rio Grande Valley Sector. The anticipated investment allows CBP to swiftly respond to Administration priorities and USBP operational requirements. - - BACKGROUND Detailed requirements for the border wall, including priority locations and preferred features, are currently under development by CBP. Concurrently, CBP is reaching out to industry to seek proposals for Border Wall prototypes that will help the agency select the appropriate design, materials, and technologies for further border wall construction. These proposals and the subsequent prototypes will allow CBP to estimate the overall cost to construct, maintain and repair the border wall. This standard will continue to inform CBP’s wall estimates and will account for Administration priorities, USBP operational requirements, cost effectiveness, constructability, and durability. The identified locations are based off of operational need and site accessibility.

Thanks, tmm PVERSIGHT BW15 FOIA CBP 000093 DHS-17-0045-B-000093 To HAC-HS and SAC-HS Majority and Minority Staffs: Thank you for the opportunity to present and discuss CBP’s border wall strategy in response to Executive Order 13767. As discussed, CBP is leveraging years of U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) operational knowledge and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) border infrastructure construction subject matter expertise to execute the EO’s policy to “contiguous, physical wall or other similarly secure, contiguous, and impassable physical barrier.” Since Tuesday, March 7th, through continued discussions with DHS and CBP leadership and taking into account input received during our briefings with the HAC/SAC, CBP has further refined its initial border wall strategy. Specifically, CBP is finalizing a request for proposal (RFP) to acquire multiple prototype wall designs. The RFP will be for an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to allow for future task-order awards as needed in the areas of wall construction or other tactical infrastructure required by the U.S. Border Patrol along the southwest border. However, the primary intent of the contract is to allow for evaluation of prototype designs from industry that could be used to meet Executive Order 13767. These designs may be added to or may influence new designs to be added to the current toolkit already deployed across the southwest border. Pre-Award: Offerors will be asked to provide concept papers documenting their proposed approach to one concrete wall design and one innovative design that meet U.S. Border Patrol’s operational requirements as stipulated in the RFP. Requirements include but are not limited to: • • • • • Border Wall Height Anti-Climb Features Anti-Dig Features Prevention of Physical Breach Aesthetics Concept papers will also be required to account for how the wall design would address drainage, nonproprietary materials/equipment, and ability to include gates. After review of the initial concept paper, CBP will down-select to no more than 20 vendors to provide proposals in the second phase of the solicitation process. In the second phase, offerors will be asked to provide the following: • • • • • Price Proposal Technical/Management Approach Wall Designs for the Prototype Past Performance Subcontracting Plan PREDECISIONAL/FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY VERSIGHT BW15 FOIA CBP 000094 DHS-17-0045-B-000094 CBP will then award to multiple vendors to build prototypes and mock-ups of the proposed designs. Post-Award: Once contracts have been awarded, contractors will have 30 days from Notice to Proceed (NTP) to construct the prototype designs on the border in San Diego, CA. Additionally, contractors will build a mock-up of the prototype design at an off-border Government location for independent verification and validation (IV&V) testing. All results from the prototypes and IV&V will be provided to an architectural and engineering (A/E) firm to incorporate the features into standard designs for future deployment along the southwest border. These standard designs will be added to the current border infrastructure toolkit which includes fence, lighting, roads, and other infrastructure required for border security. The toolkit will allow for adaptable solutions along the southwest border based on officer safety, terrain and threat. - - The first use of the expanded toolkit is anticipated to support initial rate construction of wall in late FY 2017/early 2018 for (b) (7)(E) of new wall system in (b) (7)(E) . CBP is currently determining when construction could begin on this project, subject to the identification of the appropriate contracting vehicle and availability of funds. REPROGRAMMING FUNDING TIMELINE To support prototype construction, toolkit expansion and initial planning efforts, CBP’s funding requirements for the $20M reprogramming request are as follows: · No later than (NLT) March 20, 2017 - $12M to support initial survey, drainage design, real estate and environmental planning, and title searches to position CBP to execute on USBP requirements in FY 2017 and 2018 · NLT April 10, 2017 - $6M for wall design standard development · NLT May 22, 2017 - $2M for prototype construction including proposal planning and development For a complete timeline of activities through prototype construction, please see the attached schedule. PROTOTYPING & ADM PROCESS DHS and CBP are already executing the deliberative acquisition process called out in DHS Management Directive 102-01. This process includes a structured and disciplined approach to defining requirements, assessing options and means to meet those requirements, approving (or disapproving, as appropriate) recommendations to procure specific items, and overseeing the execution of the procurements and the deployments of the items procured. For several weeks, we have been preparing for the first of the formal decision points in that process, known as Acquisition Decision Event One (ADE-1). An Acquisition Review Board (ARB) has been scheduled on March 16, 2017 to consider ADE-1 for the wall. At ADE-1, the Department reviews the broadly-defined requirements and authorizes more deliberative and detailed requirements definition, analysis of alternatives, and development of a program structure. After that work is complete, the Department will consider whether or not we should formally establish a wall program at a milestone known as Acquisition Decision Event Two-A (ADE-2A). The wall prototypes currently planned support the analyses and activities that must occur between ADE-1 and ADE2. However, it is important to highlight that, until ADE-2A, there is no formal approval of a program of record—all activities before ADE-2A are intended to inform a decision about whether a program of record PREDECISIONAL/FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY BW15 FOIA CBP 000095 DHS-17-0045-B-000095 makes sense. After ADE-2A, the program will continue to refine concepts and converge on final requirements and design. Follow-on milestones, such as ADE-2B and ADE-2C (which may be conducted simultaneously with ADE-2A, if appropriate), will represent decision points for the selection and initial deployments of approved wall designs. CBP anticipates reaching the ADE-2A milestone in the summer 2017.

WRT to the “border barrier system” in RGV, is that a single primary fence (bollard) or is it two fences?  If you look at the slide on page 31, the “x”s make it look like it is two with a road between?  If this complete that area, what is already built?   Regarding the RGV border barrier system, the short answer is that it is a single (bollard) fence.   A “border barrier system” will typically be a wall in the secondary position with the bollard fence in front. Or as would be the case for the(b) (7)(E) of border barrier system in RGV, the bollard fence is in the secondary position with a natural barrier, the river, creating  the - BW15 FOIA CBP 000113 DHS-17-0045-B-000113 primary barrier.   The (b) (7)(E) of road will be completed as a part of the border barrier system.   2.

Of the funds for the levee wall and barrier system in TX, how much can you obligate in FY17?   Response: CBP can obligate the $489 million requested for the levee wall and $146 million for the barrier system in RGV by the end of FY2017.   Please let me know if you have any questions and I will follow up with the additional information as we have it.   Thank you, (b) (6)     - (b) (6) Office of Congressional Affairs U.S. Customs and Border Protection (b) (6)   BW15 FOIA CBP 000114 DHS-17-0045-B-000114 Document Purpose: Justification of (b) (7)(E), New Wall, Rio Grande Valley Sector (RGV) Source: HQ, USBP, SPAD March 23rd, 2017 - Summary: The USBP is requesting funds for (b) (7)(E) of New Wall and supporting roads, in RGV sector. The primary requirement to impede and deny illegal activity in the Rio Grande Valley Sector has been validated through gap analysis and planning since 2014. The secondary requirement to has also been validated through gap analysis and planning (b) (7)(E) since 2014. Historically, the USBP has prioritized these requirements by determining which gaps were necessary to mitigate and which gaps were desirable based on Operational Control. As the definition of Operational Control changes and as the threat shifts and exploits USBP capability, the priorities change. As of March, 2017, mitigating these RGV capability gaps is a 2017 Operational priority. Expected Operational Outcomes:  To increase overall USBP effectiveness as articulated in 2014 Quadrennial Homeland Security Review (QHSR)  Mitigate/close Impedance and Denial Capability Gaps within USBP.  Increase certainty of arrest but denying the adversary access to specific areas.  To increase Agent and Officer Safety.  To increase Public Safety, specifically in urban areas where illegal incursions cause law enforcement response and activities within a dense urban environment.  To decrease injuries to Illegal Aliens by deterring border crossings before they occur.  To decrease the cost for medical attention and hospital stays for Illegal Aliens injured.  To decrease the amount of “high risk” incursion events, such as vehicle incursions with armed smugglers or vehicles that often times result in the damages to property and injuries.  To increase response time and (b) (7)(E) for responding and patrolling agents. 2017 Requirement Validation and Development Process: Since 2013, RGV had identified multiple impedance and denial capability gaps that negatively impact operations; including but not limited to adversaries adapting tactics to defeat existing fencing, adversaries exploiting gaps in existing fencing, and adversaries exploiting a lack of fencing in areas where adversary vanishing times are short. RGV has also identified (b) (7)(E) construction, and the supporting road construction, will mitigate these gaps. FOUO  .

Although it is possible to create a breach, or to climb over the fence, the delay in crossing provides agents with additional time to react, thereby increasing the probability of a successful law enforcement resolution. • To date, US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) completed (b) (7)(E) and vehicle fencing along the southwest border: approximately (b) (7)(E) of vehicle fence at the cost of approximately $2.3 billion. (b) (7)(E) • It is important to note that tactical infrastructure (TI) also includes roads; gates and bridges; drainage structures and grates; lighting and electrical systems; vegetation and debris removal; and (b) (7)(E) property, construction and maintenance. U.S. C stoms and Borde Pirotection of primary pedestrian of pedestrian fence and BW15 FOIA CBP 000141 DHS-17-0045-B-000141 Border Fence Background How does Border Patrol gather operational requirements? • Border Patrol’s Operational Requirements Management Division (ORMD) collects and manages operational requirements and provides liaison between the field units and external stakeholders. ORMD validates operational requirements through user feedback, test and evaluation, ensuring the right tool is applied to the right capability gap. Terrain, threat, socioeconomic, and political considerations vary greatly across sectors and regions, making a "one size fits all" approach ineffective. • The ORMD processes are designed to be agile, flexible, scalable, repeatable, and rapidly executable to enable timely decision making. • Requirements: Identifying and Documenting • • • • • Identify capability gaps from a total mission perspective Formulate requirements Prioritize requirements Target resources to requirements Inform investment decisions and identify funding opportunities U.S. C stoms and Borde Pirotection BW15 FOIA CBP 000142 DHS-17-0045-B-000142 Border Fence Background How does CBP determine where to construct fence? • CBP selected areas to construct border fence based on Border Patrol’s law enforcement operational needs. Border Patrol’s risk and vulnerabilities assessments of illegal cross-border activity to determine specific areas where persistent impedance is required to effectively manage risk. • Vehicle Fence is generally located in areas (b) (7)(E) (b) (7)(E) (b) (7)(E) • Pedestrian Fence is deployed in areas (b) (7)(E) (b) (7)(E) as a vehicle barrier. U.S. C stoms and Borde Pirotection (b) (7)(E) The pedestrian fence design also serves BW15 FOIA CBP 000143 DHS-17-0045-B-000143 Border Fence Background How is fence maintained and/or repaired? • CBP implemented a Comprehensive Tactical Infrastructure Maintenance and Repair (CTIMR) program to address the maintenance and repair of fence and gates; roads and bridges; drainage and grate systems; lighting and electrical systems, vegetation control and debris removal, and towers. Through the CTIMR program, CBP awarded four contracts to provide the Border Patrol with long-term TI maintenance and repair capabilities. • TI along the southwest border covered by the CTIMR program will be maintained and repaired on an as-needed basis; work is contingent on Border Patrol operational requirements, funding, and prioritization. The program covers maintenance and repair only; no new construction will be performed under this program. U.S. C stoms and Borde Pirotection BW15 FOIA CBP 000144 DHS-17-0045-B-000144 Border Fence Background What is the process to execute construction, maintenance, and/or repair? • Once Border Patrol’s requirements are identified, prioritized and funding is available the BPFTI PMO moves forward with necessary real estate and environmental compliance activities to execute construction and sustainment activities. Additionally, CBP works closely with state and local entities during any construction project. • Environmental Activities • For the (b) (7)(E) of fence completed, the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security executed five environmental waivers related to fence construction along the Southwest border to expedite construction. Without these waivers fence could not have been built within the anticipated timeframe. • September 2005: San Diego, CA Waiver (FR Notice: Sept 22, 2005) • January 2007: Barry M. Goldwater Range (AZ) Waiver (FR Notice: Jan 19, 2007) • October 2007: San Pedro Watershed (AZ) Waiver (FR Notice: Oct 26, 2007 • April 2008: All Segments Waiver (FR Notice April 3 and 8, 2008) • April 2008: Hidalgo (TX) Waiver (FR Notice April 3 and 8, 2008) - • Despite these waivers, CBP addressed environmental considerations in all construction planning and project execution activities. U.S. C stoms and Borde Pirotection BW15 FOIA CBP 000145 DHS-17-0045-B-000145 Border Fence Background What is the process to execute construction, maintenance, and/or repair? • Real Estate Activities • Voluntary negotiation and purchase is the preferred method of Federal land acquisition, including the obtaining of lesser property interests such as temporary easements. • However, if necessary, condemnation is used when landowners are unwilling to negotiate with the Federal government and when landowners are unknown. In those cases, CBP can execute condemnation to establish a fair and reasonable price or clear unknown land titles. • During the execution of the PF225 project, approximately 40% of the landowners in south Texas could not be identified, in addition to a number of landowners in Arizona.

For requirement #3, CBP is able to collect data associated with construction, maintenance, and contractor cost information following the completion of a  project. It is estimated it will take CBP 12 months to collect this data, and most of the data would not be available until the completion of a project. All of  the cost data requested is entered into CBP’s financial system which is audited annually by an outside entity, therefore we recommend removing the  redundant requirement for an audit of the requested data.  Including the requirement for a separate audit would take a significant amount of time and  would require resources to dedicate to that activity.  CBP also recommends eliminating the reference to impacts to human health and public safety as  CBP would be unable to quantify those impacts. The environmental impacts anticipated to natural resources such as surface water and soils would be  captured in CBP's environmental planning document for each project and therefore CBP would be able to report on those environmental impacts.  For requirement #4, the “acquisition costs” are primarily surveys, title searches/obtaining title reports, and drafting documents such as offers to sell and  declarations of taking.  CBP has an interagency agreement (IAA) with the U.S. Army Corps (USACE) to provide real estate acquisition support to perform  the above‐referenced actions and would need to work with USACE to provide that information. CBP estimates a time period of 12 months, after the  completion of the project, would be needed to most of the collect cost information requested in the report.  The real “legal costs” associated with land acquisition related to the construction of a border barrier would come from the Department of Justice (DOJ).   However, CBP pays a large portion of DOJ’s expenses for handling the eminent domain litigation and could provide an overview of legal costs. Please  note, although there are several CBP Office of Chief Counsel attorneys that work on these matters, CBP OCC does not keep billable hour‐like records for  cases so it would be impossible to quantify the costs of their legal support and therefore that data could not be incorporated into any report.  The “costs and impacts to communities and business, such as ranchers or tribes who receive a condemnation notice because the government invokes  eminent domain,” would be nearly impossible for CBP to quantify.  Under Section 102 of the Illegal Immigration and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996  - - BW15 FOIA CBP 000195 DHS-17-0045-B-000195 as amended, the Secretary of Homeland Security (through CBP) must consult with, among other interested parties, “…states, local governments,  Indian tribes and property owners of the United States to minimize the impact on the environment, culture, commerce, and quality of life for the  communities and residents located near sites...” where border wall is constructed.  The statute does not set forth specific ways to satisfy the  consultation language.  In addition, the statute does not require the Secretary to incorporate ideas provided during the consultation process.   Rather, during the consultation process, DHS/CBP needs to consider the comments provided by the entities with whom consultation is required,  and to the extent there are viable ideas that may prove beneficial, incorporate such ideas where feasible.  However, we would be unable to  quantify the costs and impacts on the community and landowners.  For instance, CBP does not collect information on legal costs incurred by  landowners during eminent domain proceedings.  Any estimation of costs from CBP would be purely speculative. Therefore, CBP recommends  eliminating that requirement from the report language.   For requirement #5, CBP recommends eliminating the duplicative reporting requirement. The Department is already  required to submit an  annual visa over stay report pursuant to the requirement contained in Section 2(a) of the Immigration and Naturalization Service Data  Management Improvement Act of 2000 (P.L 106‐215).  AMERICAN pVERSIGHT BW15 FOIA CBP 000196 DHS-17-0045-B-000196 From: To: Cc: Subj ect: RE: Overlooked/missed rept lang Tech Assist requests (Last ones for CBP} Monday, J uly 17, 2017 4:S6:27 PM Date : I don't believe we had received #1, #2 and #5 previously, so we'll task t hose out immediately.

PVERSIGHT BW15 FOIA CBP 0002 16 DHS-17-0045-B-000216 Senate Appropriations Committee Informational Get-backs September 20, 2017 Cost to Construct 654 Miles of Border Barrier & Anticipated Future Costs What comprises CBP’s 654 miles of existing barrier? Beginning in 2006, Congress provided CBP with dedicated funding to carry out three significant expansions to border infrastructure in strategic locations along the Southwest border to meet U.S. Border Patrol’s (USBP) field-driven operational requirements for impedance and denial. The Pedestrian Fence (PF) 70 project added (b) (7)(E) of pedestrian wall, the PF 225 project added (b) (7)(E) of pedestrian wall, and the Vehicle Fence (VF) 300 project added (b) (7)(E) of barriers designed to address the threat of vehicle incursions. These projects leveraged lessons learned to develop more advanced wall designs that counter breach attempts and address agent safety. Together, these projects added approximately (b) (7)(E) of new pedestrian wall and vehicle barrier. - - • These projects joined CBP’s existing inventory of legacy border wall, which represent approximately of the 654 miles of barrier in place today. The inferior materials used in legacy projects provided resourceful, but impermanent, solutions to border security challenges (b) (7)(E) One prime example is landing mat, a Vietnam-era, solid metal landing pad material inherited from DOD and constructed by Border Patrol as vertical border wall in the 1990s. By leveraging cheap material, a Federally-owned construction footprint, and often Border Patrol’s own labor, these types of legacy fencing projects carried little to no cost. In recent years, CBP has started replacing these materials with modern designs in critical locations along the border. Ill (b) (7)(E) What did $2.3 billion buy CBP? To carry out this work, Congress appropriated $2.3 billion beginning in 2006 for new border barrier construction. By simply dividing (b) (7)(E) into $2.3 billion, one could easily assume that the average (b) (5) cost per mile for fence during this time period was approximately However, due to the diversity of projects within this funding, this simplification produces inaccurate results. - First, there were two different types of barrier constructed under the aforementioned program – vehicle barrier and pedestrian wall. In each case, cost considerations include environmental and real estate planning, design, construction, and construction oversight. However, the actual costs differ by program based on how the program was deployed. Designed to impede and deny vehicle incursions, vehicle barrier does not require the same level of engineering or materials required by pedestrian wall. It was also constructed largely in locations that had limited real estate impact. The average cost of vehicle barrier executed under the VF 300 program came in at approximately (b) (5) /mile. - Conversely, the pedestrian wall constructed under PF 225 required much more significant engineering complexity and investments in real estate and materials. The average cost per mile under the PF 225 program was (b) (5) per mile. However, this same average cannot be applied to the PF 70 program as most of PF 70 was constructed on federal land using government labor such as the Navy Seabees and in part using legacy materials, making the average cost per mile far lower than could be anticipated today. - VERSIGHT BW15 FOIA CBP 000217 DHS-17-0045-B-000217 Is the $2.3 billion a barometer for future investment? No. To compare the cost per mile for the PF 70, PF 225 and VF 300 programs to the FY 2018 budget req uest wa ll and border wa ll system would quite simp ly be comparing app les and oranges. for lll The PF 70, PF 225 and VF 300 program focused on creating a pr imary layer of barrier as close to the internat io nal bounda ry as possible that coul d impede and deny ill egal cross border activ ity. This capability has been a boon for USBPoperat ions in the locat ions it has been dep loyed . Once an area of focus was secured, crime rates declined, habitats damaged by illegal border traff ic recovered, local communit ies grew and prospered , and commerce increased. Just as the ded icated fund ing for these investments enab led significant improvements to the legacy designs, in the last 10 yea rs USBP has continued to refine its needs to focus on cont inued dep loyment of modern border wall designs w ith comp lementary dep loyments of roads and techno logy to integrate other capab ili ty requ irements .

The Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitut ion pro vides that " nor shall private property be taken for pub lic use, wi thout just compensat ion." In valuing and negot iat ing the acqu isit ion of rea l estate requ ired to support the PF225 and VF300 Fence projects , the Government comp lied wi th 49 C.F.R. Part 24- Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acqu isition For Federal and Federally-Assisted Programs (a.k.a. the URA). §24.102 of the URA out lines basic acquisition policies, §24 .103 out lines criter ia for appra isals, and §24.104 out lines the review of appraisa ls. The ultimate goal as it perta ins to valuat ion is for the Government to estab lish and offer to the lando w ner (s) w hat it determ ines to be just compensat ion. lnlll , w here the fence w as constructed , i.e. w ell north of the U.S. border w ith Mex ico, a sw ath of land w as (b) (7)(E) acqu ired, w hich frequent ly left part of a given propert y south of the fence and part to the north . In all cases, but part icu lar ly in these cases, just compensat ion included not on ly the value of the property to be acquired, but also the diminished value of the rema ining un-acqu ired property. Ill In order to get to just compensat ion and fa ir market va lue, the Government performed a valuat ion of the acqu ired property pr ior to acquisit ion . Often t imes, the va luat ion took the form of an appra isal of the property. In certa in situat ions, as perm itted by the URA, a valuat ion less forma l than an appraisa l w as conducted . Throughout the negotiat ion process, as is encouraged by the URA, the Government adjusted its va luat ions w here w arranted based upon mater ial informat ion presented by the lando w ner (s) that may have other wi se not been ascerta inab le by the Government . The Government on ly acquired from landow ners the min imal interest necessary to support fence construction . lnlll , that meant that lando w ners cou ld reta in their minera l rights and w ater rights , w hich allow ed them to dri ll for natura l gas using a slant dr illi ng process and/ or to br ing w ater through AMR AN PVERSIGHT BW15 FOIA CBP 000220 DHS-17-0045-B-000220 pipes under the fence from the lando w ners do. (b) (7)(E) as necessary to irr igate crops if desired , w hich man y How many land acquisitions were required to construct the PF225 and VF300 programs? By w ay of definit ion, the term " acqu isit ion" as used in this response refers to all propert y procured from one dist inct ow ner or set of ow ners, w hereas the term "tract " is a subset of an " acquisit ion." An ow ner (s) has a parce l; CBP acquires a set of tracts from that parce l as requ ired to support fence construction ; and the ent ire group of tracts together equa ls an " acquisit ion." (b) (5) There are different ty pes of "tracts " - "fee " tracts , w hich w ere purchased for fence construct ion and " easement " tracts , both as permanent easements for access roads to fence , and temporar y easements needed to stage construct ion equ ipment / mater ial and to w ork alongside roads in order to impro ve the roads themse lves. All of the temporar y easement tracts w ere or iginally acquired to last a short per iod of t ime necessary to support construct ion. Therefore the y have since expired and reverted back to the lando w ners - CBP no longer ow ns them. How ever , the effort is ongo ing to ensure the correct ow ners are paid for the temporar y use of the ir propert y . It is important to understand that t itle and/ or va luation issues do not need to be reso lved bet w een the Government and the lando w ner (s) pr ior to construct ion. Upon fi ling a Declarat ion of Taking in U.S. District Court , w hich is how a condemnation case is commenced , the Government immed iate ly acquires tit le to the propert y acquired. Once the court enters an Order of Possession, the Government can immed iate ly enter the propert y and begin construct ion. All tit le and va luation are reso lved at a later date. The number of open condemnat ion cases fluctuates because the cases must somet imes be joined and severed for lit igation purposes , and somet imes DOJ needs to fi le altogether new cases to clean ly reso lve tit le issues and compensat ion disputes wi th newl y identified ow ners. But, once again, this is all under the purv iew of reso lving w ho ow ned land that CBP already acquired through condemnation , so the AMR AN PVERSIGHT BW15 FOIA CBP 000221 DHS-17-0045-B-000221 proper parties can rece ive the ir share of the just compensat ion.
