About this agency
“Effective January 22, 2026, DHS is no longer accepting hard copy (mail) or emailed Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)/Privacy Act requests for DHS records. To ensure timely processing, you must submit your records request through https://www.foia.gov/ or one of the DHS FOIA portals.” More information can be found in the “How to Make FOIA Requests.” *Due to the current federal funding hiatus, there will be a delay in FOIA processing within most FOIA offices in the Department. ******************************************************************* After submitting this request, you will receive an email asking you to create a SecureRelease account. SecureRelease is a service used by many government offices to respond to public access requests. Create a SecureRelease account to easily track your request, ask questions, and download released records. *******************************************************************
