Good Afternoon,
Attached is our acknowledgment of your DHS FOIA request.  This FOIA request is not perfected as is because there is no search time frame provided and the search terms are overly broad.  Please provide a time frame to be searched and at least two conjunctive search terms.  For example, if you are primarily interested in J20/Disrupt J20, then the search terms would have to be "inauguration" AND "(Disrupt J20 or J20 and so on) not "OR".
If you need to contact this office again concerning your request, please provide the DHS reference number. This will enable us to quickly retrieve the information you are seeking and reduce our response time. This office can be reached at 866-431-0486.
