Democracy Forward and the government signed a joint filing in the FOIA suit on September 15, 2026. It states that the FOIA requests behind the case were “submitted on April 23, 2026”, and that “ICE located approximately 4,646 pages of potentially responsive records”. ICE agreed to release “1,000 pages by October 1, 2026, and another 1,000 pages by November 1, 2026”, then “750 pages per month from December 1, 2026” if it meets those deadlines. The Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel “located no records responsive to Plaintiff’s request” on polling-place legal advice. The parties proposed another status report on October 15, 2026.
