Dear Dave Hendricks,
After careful review of your FOIA request, CBP-2019-007011, we have determined that your request is too broad in scope or did not specifically identify the records which you are seeking. FOIA is not a search mechanism. Records must be described in reasonably sufficient detail to enable government employees who are familiar with the subject area to locate records without placing an unreasonable burden upon the agency. For this reason, §5.3(b) of the DHS regulations, 6 C.F.R. Part 5, require that you describe the records you are seeking with as much information as possible to ensure that our search can locate them with a reasonable amount of effort.
We are attempting to craft search terms for the communications you are seeking, please advise on which phrases you wish us to use for your search. The FOIA does not require an agency to create new records, answer questions posed by requesters, or attempt to interpret a request that does not identify specific records.
This is not a denial of your request for records. Please respond within 10 business days with the desired search phrases, by logging into your existing FOIAOnline account or creating an account at https://foiaonline.gov. (https://foiaonline.regulations.gov/)
Sincerely,
U.S. Customs and Border Protection

To whom it may concern,
I am writing in reference to FOIA request # CBP-2019-007011.
The request asked for: "> All emails sent by U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jaime Sanchez (JAIME.SANCHEZ@CBP.DHS.GOV) to Rio Grande Valley landowners from Jan. 1, 2018, to Oct. 26, 2018, and all responses to those emails."
U.S. Customs and Border Protection responded by asking the requestor to narrow the scope of the request. However, the request doesn't require clarification or narrowing in scope.
U.S. Border Patrol Agent Jaime Sanchez is assigned to the McAllen Station in the Rio Grande Valley Sector.
Agent Sanchez is a "landowner liaison." In his job as "landowner liaison," Agent Sanchez sends advisories, notifications and other information to a Rio Grande Valley landowners. Agent Sanchez sends many emails to landowners using an email list.
For example, Agent Sanchez sent the following email on Oct. 24, 2018:
"From: "SANCHEZ, JAIME" <JAIME.SANCHEZ@CBP.DHS.GOV>
Date: 10/24/18 8:58 AM (GMT-06:00)
To:
Subject: News Media/Armed Civilians
Ladies and gentlemen,
With the pending Honduran caravan traveling through Mexico, Border Patrol is expecting media outlets and possible armed civilians to access your property. I would greatly appreciate it if anybody is requesting authorization to set up camp or media equipment on your property. In previous instances, these groups have not asked for permission and have taken it upon themselves to access your property. If possible, please provide name of media and/or organizations who have requested authorization."
The email above went to a list of Rio Grande Valley landowners.
The FOIA request I filed on Oct. 29, 2018, seeks all such emails sent by Agent Sanchez to Rio Grande Valley landowners and all responses to those emails. The responsive records are readily available to Agent Sanchez; no complex search terms are required to locate them.
Thank you for processing this FOIA request,
Dave
