RE: Police General Records Request of June 04, 2020 Reference #S135728-060420
Dear Todd ,
Due to the State of Emergency, Public Information Officers have been called to perform other essential tasks which prioritize the City’s actions to slow the spread of COVID-19. Only employees critical for day-to-day operations are able to access City of Portland buildings. Consequently, your public records request will be paused due to the declared emergency (ORS 192.329(6)). The City will try to fill this request as resources become available. Thank you for your understanding.
The City received a Public Records Request from you on June 04, 2020 for the following:
"To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Oregon Public Records Law, I hereby request the following records:
1) Copies of all department documents--such as equipment request forms, inventory logs, etc.--detailing the number of chemical gas canisters (tear gas, pepper spray, etc.), rubber bullets, bean bag guns, long range acoustic devices (often known as sound cannons), riot gear (helmets, shields, etc.), flash bang grenades, stun grenades, and other non-lethal projectiles distributed to department personnel between the dates of May 20, 2020 and June 10, 2020.
2) Copies of all department documents detailing the number of chemical gas canisters (tear gas, pepper spray, etc.), rubber bullets, bean bag projectiles, flash bang grenades, stun grenades, and all other lethal and non-lethal projectiles expended between the dates of May 20, 2020 and June 10, 2020.

As we are able under the state of emergency, the City will review your request to determine if it has responsive records. The City will then gather an estimate of the costs to provide copies of requested public records for which the City does not claim an exemption from disclosure. The City is permitted to charge its actual costs to provide records. Fees include research time to locate and analyze the requested records, even if no records are located or if the requested records are determined to be exempt from disclosure.
Thank you for using the Portland Public Records Request Center.

Hello,
I'm not sure how you got the idea that my request was in any way related to federal information law, or how a private citizen requesting public records of any kind would constitute "enforcing federal immigration law."
So:
I certify that I AM NOT making this request for the purpose of enforcement of federal immigration laws.
