Subject: ACLU Clearance

Good evening!

I was infonned that a program reached out directly to ACLU to get a clearance for a separated UAC. Please
advise your programs that they are NOT to engage directly with ACLU. The Of?ce ofGeneral Counsel
has been working diligently in getting clearance for our separated children. I appreciate that
everyone is focused on our present mission of reunifying these separated children but please tell your
programs to follow chain ofeommand and elevate issues or concerns directly to you. who will then send
this to ORR IIQ.

I was recently infomied that there are LODs and declarations that were prepared by ACLU and is in the
process of sorting these documents so that we can share them with you in the next day or two. Thank you
for your patience and understanding. Please know that your efforts are much appreciated and your
programs have been very helpful but please let them know to stay within their limits.

Thanks.
