Government agencies conducted an adequate search for two records requests but they did not prove releasing metadata and database schema would be a security risk, a federal judge ruled Monday.
Syracuse University professors Susan Long and David Burnham filed seven Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and/or the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) between October 2010 and February 2013.
Long and Burnham's are co-directors of Syracuse's Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse, or TRAC. They sought metadata and database language structure, or schema, from databases used by both agencies, as well as snapshots of information.
