All records reflecting communications (including emails, email attachments, voicemail transcripts, text messages, messages on messaging platforms (such as Slack, GChat or Google Hangouts, Lync, Skype, WhatsApp, Signal, or Twitter Direct Messages), telephone call logs, calendar invitations/entries, meeting notices, meeting agendas, informational material, talking points, any handwritten or electronic notes taken during any oral communications, summaries of any oral communications, or other materials) with or referencing the phone number "(202) 881-8641." All call logs showing incoming or outgoing calls to or from the phone number "(202) 881-8641" Using the time of search from November 9, 2016 to the date the search is conducted, from the following persons: a) USCIS Director L Francis Cissna, and anyone communicating on his behalf, b) Advisor to the Director Kaitlin Vogt Stoddard, and c) Chief, Office of Policy and Strategy, Kathy Nuebel Kovarik We conducted a search utilizing terms and criteria that your client provided in her FOIA request and searched USCIS Program Offices and files where we reasonably believed responsive records likely would be located. After compiling responsive records, we reviewed and processed the records pursuant to FOIA. As of the date of this letter, we have fully processed 500 pages that are responsive to the request and are providing as the first part of a rolling release. We have reviewed and determined to release all information except those portions that are appropriately exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552 (b)(5) and (b6) of FOIA. USCIS is continuing to review records that may be responsive to the FOIA request and will make further records productions as warranted. Exemption (b)(5) provides protection for 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. The types of documents and/or information we have withheld under this exemption may consist of documents containing pre-decisional information, documents or other memoranda prepared in contemplation of litigation, or confidential communications between attorney and client. Exemption (b)(6) permits the government to withhold all information about individuals in personnel, medical and similar files where the disclosure of such information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. The types of documents and/or information that we have withheld may consist of birth certificates, naturalization certificates, drivers’ licenses, social security numbers, home addresses, dates of birth, or various other documents and/or information belonging to a third party that are considered personal.

You have specifically requested the following: All records reflecting communications (including emails, email attachments, voicemails, transcripts, text messages, messages on messaging platforms (such as Slack, GChat or Google Hangouts, Lync, Skype, WhatsApp, Signal, or Twitter Direct Messages), telephone call logs, calendar invitations/entries, meeting notices, meeting agendas, informational material, talking points, any handwritten or electronic notes taken during any oral communications, summaries of any oral communications, or other materials) with or about Stephen Miller, including but not limited to communications containing the name "Stephen Miller" or email communications sent or forwarded to, received from, copying, or blind copying stephenmiller@who.eop.gov or s.miller@who.eop.gov . All records reflecting communications (including emails, email attachments, voicemail transcripts, text messages, messages on messaging platforms (such as Slack, GChat or Google Hangouts, Lync, Skype, WhatsApp, Signal, or Twitter Direct Messages), telephone call logs, calendar invitations/entries, meeting notices, meeting agendas, informational material, talking points, any handwritten or electronic notes taken during any oral communications, summaries of any oral communications, or other materials) with or referencing the phone number "(202) 881-8641." All call logs showing incoming or outgoing calls to or from the phone number "(202) 881-8641" Using the time of search from November 9, 2016 to the date the search be conducted, from the following persons: a) USCIS Director L Francis Cissna, and anyone communicating on his behalf, b) Advisor to the Director Kaitlin Vogt Stoddard, and c) Chief, Office of Policy and Strategy, Kathy Nuebel Kovarik In addition to the records requested above, you have requested records describing the processing of this request, including records sufficient to identify search terms used and locations and custodians searched and any tracking sheets used to track the processing of this request. The FOIA requires agencies to provide documents that exist at the time of the date of search cut-off, but not documents that were created on or after the date of the search cut-off. www.uscis.gov COW2018001096 Page 2 USCIS cannot confirm or deny the existence of records responsive to the portion of the request seeking email communications sent or forwarded to, received from, copying, or blind copying certain email addresses identified in the request. USCIS also cannot confirm or deny the existence of records responsive to the request, seeking records of communications with or referencing a specific phone number identified in the request. FOIA Exemption 6, 5 U.S.C. ? 552(b)(6), precludes us from either confirming or denying that such records exist. This response should not be construed as an admission that responsive records exist. We conducted a search utilizing terms and criteria that your client provided in her FOIA request and searched USCIS Program Offices and files where we reasonably believed responsive records likely would be located. After compiling responsive records, we have completed the review of all documents and have identified 503 pages that are responsive to your request. We have processed 503 pages for this production schedule and are providing 233 pages we found responsive. We have reviewed and determined to release all information except those portions that are appropriately exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C. ? 552 (b)(5) and (b)(6) of FOIA. Exemption (b)(5) provides protection for 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. The types of documents and/or information we have withheld under this exemption may consist of documents containing pre-decisional information, documents or other memoranda prepared in contemplation of litigation, or confidential communications between attorney and client. Exemption (b)(6) permits the government to withhold all information about individuals in personnel, medical and similar files where the disclosure of such information would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. The types of documents and/or information that we have withheld may consist of birth certificates, naturalization certificates, drivers' licenses, social security numbers, home addresses, dates of birth, or various other documents and/or information belonging to a third party that are considered personal. If you have any questions about our response, please contact Assistant United States Attorney Joshua Kolsky with the U.S. Attorney's Office @ Joshua.kolsky@usdoj.gov Sincerely, Jill A.

EOP/WHO; Symons, Craig M; Nuebel Kovarik, Kathy Subject: EPI: Congress is trying to use appropriations expand the H-2B temporary worker programwhere migrants are exploitable and have few rights-by 73 percent lo; Flagging for your attention. Posted March 19, 2018 at 1:26 pm by Daniel Costa and Jennifer Rosenbaum Congress is trying to use appropriations expand the H-2B temporary worker program-where migrants are exploitable and have few rights-by 73 percent The GOP-led Congressis aiming to passan omnibusappropriationsbill to fund the federal governmentbeforethe current temporaryspendingbill expireson March 23, 2018. Part of the negotiationsinclude a major effort by legislatorsin both parties-who are being bombardedby corporatelobbyists in the hospitality, seafood,landscaping,and constructionindustries-to expandthe H-2B temporary migrant worker program.We estimatethe proposalwould increase the numberof H-2B workers that employerscan hire in lesser-skilledoccupationsby at least73 percent,from 66,000 per year to 114,000. The H-2B program-like other temporary migrant worker programs-is not a work programthat brings immigrantsto the United Stateswith equal rights and the option to stay permanently. Instead,it is usedby employerscarve out a lawlesszone in the labor marketwhere migrant workers havefew workplace rights in practice,becausethey arrive indebtedto labor recruiters and indenturedto U.S. employers. DHS-USCIS-18-0477-B-000088 Nevertheless,ratherthan focusing on the most urgent immigration issuesat hand, including a path to citizenship for immigrantswho are in dangerof becomingundocumented,like DACA recipients,and thosewho haveTemporary ProtectedStatus,Congressis insteadfocusing on making changesto temporaryworker programsvia the appropriationsprocess.Congresshas donethis a numberof times in recentyears,somethingthat RepublicanSenateJudiciary ChairmanSen. Chuck Grassleyand DemocraticRanking Member Sen. Diane Feinsteincame together last year to criticize for usurping the committee'sjurisdiction over immigration legislation. Other Senatorshavedonethe same,including Dick Durbin and Bernie Sanders. The NewYork Timeseditorial pageand migrant worker advocatesalike havealso criticized this end-aroundthe normal legislative process. A year ago we releaseda report, Temporary Foreign Workers by the Numbers,to help set the stagefor a rational, evidence-baseddialogueabout the size of theseprogramsand how they function, and to call for more and better datawhich are neededto fmiher analyzethe programs' impact on labor standardsfor migrant and American workers and the U.S. economy.We estimatedthat 1.42 million temporaryforeign workers were employed in the United Stateswith nonimmigrantvisas in the major temporary migrant worker programsaccountingfor approximately 1 percentof the U.S. labor force in fiscal 2013. The continued reportsof abuseand exploitation in theseprogramscontinue and warnings in governmentaudits about the vulnerability of temporary migrant workers have not been addressed.Neve1iheless,as discussedbelow, this year's proposedamendmenton H-2B is proceedingwithout even a basicanalysisof the labor market implications of the changesor of policy fixes that could improve protectionsfor temporary migrant workers-who are exploitable becausethey are tied to a single employer and pay thousandsin recruitmentfees to obtain temporaryjobs, and end up earningthe samesalariesas undocumentedimmigrant workers who have no rights or labor standardsprotections.In fact, there's been almost no coveragein the mediaabout the major immigration policy changesthat may occur through the 2018 appropriationslegislation and no discussionabout how to fix the H-2B program. We estimatethe H-2B appropriations amendmentwould expand the program by 48,000 workers The languagein the proposedH-2B amendmentexpandsthe annual numerical limit of H-2B workers to at least114,000in two ways. First, it would raisethe annual limit (or cap) from 66,000workers per year to 90,000-an increaseof 24,000workers. Second,the H-2B amendmentwould exempt H-2B workers from that cap if they are employed in industrieswhich "support the reconstructionor restorationof physical property and infrastructureor debris clean up and removal" in stateswhich declareda major disasterbetweenAugust 23, 2017 and the date of enactmentof the appropriationslegislation. The U.S. Departmentof Labor (DOL) and the DHS-USCIS-18-0477-B-000089 Departmentof HomelandSecurity (OHS) would be chargedwith publishing a list of occupationalcategoriesthat would be exemptfrom the H-2B annualcap. The governorsof the stateswhere disastersoccurredhave not askedfor additional temporary migrant workers to do clean up and reconstruction,but membersof Congress-from North Carolina and Maryland especially-seem to havedecidedthat the statesneedthem. To estimatethe numberof visas included in this secondpart of the amendment,we calculatedthe numberof H-2B jobs certified in fiscal 2017 in the 13 qualifying statesin three major H-2B job categoriesthat we believe are almost certain to be listed asjobs that may support the reconstructioneffort in disasterstates:constructionlaborers,forest and conservationworkers, and landscapingand groundskeepingworkers (seeTable 1). Becausethe numberof applications for H-2B workers haveexceededthe annualcap in the pastfew years-and demandpeakedthis year-we estimatethat if thesevisas were exemptedfrom the cap, employersin non-cap-exempt industries(including hospitality and food processing)would apply for many more of the availablevisas-at leastdouble the amount,accountingfor a secondset of 24,000 additional visas (seeTable 1). As a result,we estimatethe H-2B amendmentwould grow the program by at least73 percentto over 48,000visas-to a total of 114,000-through the combinationof raising the cap and exemptingcertainjob categoriesin the 13 disasterstates We considerthis a conservativeestimatefor two reasons:First, DOL and OHS may include additional occupationsto be exemptfrom the cap beyondthe three listed in Table 1.

Congressionalhearingshighlighted the inability of DOL to enforce labor standardsin the H-2B program in a disasterrecoveryarea,which meansthat history could repeatitself if useof the H-2B program is allowed to increasedramatically in disasterzones. Conclusion Beforethe H-2B program is increasedby an appropriationsprocessthat ignoresthe Congressionalcommitteesof jurisdiction, it needmajor reformsto increasetransparency,much closer inspectionand oversight by governmentagenciesand worker advocates,and major changesthat can ensureworkplace protectionsfor migrant and U.S. workers. Theseinclude accessto justice measuresso that workers who face retaliation and abuse,and who are threatened with deportationto keepthem from complaining to labor standardsenforcementagencies,can feel empoweredto speakout. Without theseimportant reforms,expandingthe H-2B program will degradewagesand working conditionsfor all workers in major H-2B occupations. https://www.epi.org/b1og/congress-is-trying-to-use-appropriations-expand-the-h-2b-temporary-workerprogra m-whe re-migrants-are-exploitable-and-have-few-rights-by73-pe rce nt/ DHS-USCIS-18-0477-B-000091 (b )(6) Robert Law Senior Advisor Office of Policy & Strategy U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Denartmentnl Hnmelan1Security This email, along with any attachments, is intended solely for the use of the addressee(s) and may contain information that is sensitive or protected by applicable law.

On February 20, 2017, the Secretary issued a memorandum taking steps to end "catch and release" practices. These steps have produced positive results. Still, more must be done to enforce our laws and to protect our country from the dangers of releasing detained aliens into our communities while their immigration claims are pending.

McAleenan Commissioner U.S . Customs and Border Protection L. Francis Cissna Director U.S. Citizenship and Immi FROM: Kirstjen M. Nielsen Secretary SUBJECT: Referral for Pros by Alien There is no more basic responsibility of a sovereign nation than defending its borders. Our Constitution gives the responsibilit y and authority to execute our common defense to the federal government and there is no question border security is national security . Each of us - and each of the quarter of a million public servants serving at the Department of Homeland Security have taken an oath as federal officers to protect and defend the Constitution , our laws , and our Nation. As part of the responsibility to secure our Nation ' s borders , Congress passed the Immigration and Nationality Act , 8 U .S.C. ? 1325(a), which subjects individuals who have crossed the border illegally to criminal penalties. Under the INA , " [a]ny alien who enters or attempts to enter the United States at any time or place other than as designated by immigration officers ," is subject to criminal penalties. Under previous administrations, for a varie ty of reasons , many persons who violated ? 1325(a) and entered the country illegally were not prosecuted. Instead , they were released from custody under a policy of "Catch and Release. " On April 6, 2018, President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum entitled "Ending 'Catch and Release ' at the Border of the United States and Directing Other Enhance ments to Immigration Enforcement. " That memorandum directed certain Cab inet officials to implement www.dhs.gov DHS-USCIS-18-0477-B-000208 previous executive orders aimed at ending "catch and release" practices and identify additional resources or authorities that may be needed to end such practices expeditiously. On that same day, the Attorney General directed each United States Attorney's Office along the Southwest Border to the extent practicable, and in consultation with the Department of Homeland Security (OHS), to adopt immediately a "zero-tolerance" policy for all offenses referred for prosecution under 8 U.S.C. 1325(a). That zero-tolerance policy expressly superseded any then-existing DOJ policies. On April 11, 2017, the Attorney General issued a memorandum to all federal prosecutors entitled "Renewed Commitment to Criminal Immigration Enforcement." The Attorney General directed each United States Attorney's Office along the Southwest Border to work with the Department of Homeland Security to develop guidelines for prosecuting offenses under 8 U.S.C. ? 1325(a). In response to ongoing challenges presented by the flow of illegal crossings between ports of entry, and in accordance with the President's direction and the Attorney General's zero-tolerance policy, commencing as soon as possible, I direct all OHS law enforcement officers at the border to refer all illegal border crossers to the Department of Justice for criminal prosecution to the extent practicable. If adopting such a policy requires additional resources, each office shall identify and request such additional resources. This guidance is subject to the availability of appropriations and is not intended to, does not, and may not be relied upon to create, any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.

You have specifically requested the following: All records reflecting communications (including emails, email attachments, voicemails, transcripts, text messages, messages on messaging platforms (such as Slack, GChat or Google Hangouts, Lync, Skype, WhatsApp, Signal, or Twitter Direct Messages), telephone call logs, calendar invitations/entries, meeting notices, meeting agendas, informational material, talking points, any handwritten or electronic notes taken during any oral communications, summaries of any oral communications, or other materials) with or about Stephen Miller, including but not limited to communications containing the name "Stephen Miller" or email communications sent or forwarded to, received from, copying, or blind copying stephenmiller@who.eop.gov or s.miller@who.eop.gov . All records reflecting communications (including emails, email attachments, voicemail transcripts, text messages, messages on messaging platforms (such as Slack, GChat or Google Hangouts, Lync, Skype, WhatsApp, Signal, or Twitter Direct Messages), telephone call logs, calendar invitations/entries, meeting notices, meeting agendas, informational material, talking points, any handwritten or electronic notes taken during any oral communications, summaries of any oral communications, or other materials) with or referencing the phone number "(202) 881-8641." All call logs showing incoming or outgoing calls to or from the phone number "(202) 881-8641" Using the time of search from November 9, 2016 to the date the search be conducted, from the following persons: a) USCIS Director L Francis Cissna, and anyone communicating on his behalf, b) Advisor to the Director Kaitlin Vogt Stoddard, and c) Chief, Office of Policy and Strategy, Kathy Nuebel Kovarik In addition to the records requested above, you have requested records describing the processing of this request, including records sufficient to identify search terms used and locations and custodians searched and any tracking sheets used to track the processing of this request. The FOIA requires agencies to provide documents that exist at the time of the date of search cut-off, but not documents that were created on or after the date of the search cut-off. VERSIGHT www.uscis.gov COW2018001096 Page 2 USCIS cannot confirm or deny the existence of records responsive to the portion of the request seeking email communications sent or forwarded to, received from, copying, or blind copying certain email addresses identified in the request. USCIS also cannot confirm or deny the existence of records responsive to the request, seeking records of communications with or referencing a specific phone number identified in the request. FOIA Exemption 6, 5 U.S.C. ? 552(b)(6), precludes us from either confirming or denying that such records exist. This response should not be construed as an admission that responsive records exist. We conducted a search utilizing terms and criteria that your client provided in her FOIA request and searched USCIS Program Offices and files where we reasonably believed responsive records likely would be located. We have processed 506 pages for this production schedule and are providing 185 pages we found responsive. We have reviewed and determined to release all information except those portions that are appropriately exempt pursuant to 5 U.S.C. ? 552 (b)(5) and (b)(6) of FOIA. Exemption (b)(5) provides protection for 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. The types of documents and/or information we have withheld under this exemption may consist of documents containing pre-decisional information, documents or other memoranda prepared in contemplation of litigation, or confidential communications between attorney and client.
