Contracts with ICE for the Karnes County Residential Center

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Texas Public Information Act , I hereby request the following records:

All contracts and their amendments between Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Karnes County, Texas regarding the use and management of the Karnes County Residential Center. According to a July 31, 2014 DHS press release, ICE modified its contract with Karnes County, Texas on July 11, 2014.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Beryl C.D. Lipton
