MEMORANDUM DECISION AND ORDER I. INTRODUCTION Plaintiffs Susan B. Long and David Burnham brought this action under 5 U.S.C. §552(a)(4)(B) against Defendant United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) seeking to compel production of certain agency records pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. §§551-559 (“FOIA”). The Court denied the parties’ initial cross-motions for summary judgment on September 27, 2018. (Dkt. No. 32).

No. 93). Presently before the Court are the parties’ renewed cross-motions for summary judgment. (Dkt. Nos. 96, 116). Having carefully considered the parties’ arguments and all of the submissions in this case, the Court grants ICE’s motion for summary judgment and denies Plaintiffs’ cross-motion. II.
