FOIA Request Sent to Macoupin County Sheriff Department Regarding Immigration Detainer Records on January 29, 2025

FOIA Request to Macoupin County Sheriff Department Regarding Immigration Detainer Records on January 29, 2025.

As part of our ongoing commitment to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at South Central Reporter have submitted a request for records under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140. The request was sent to the Macoupin County Sheriff Department in Illinois on January 29, 2025.

The records requested are documents and/or records showing persons committed to county jails who have had an Immigration Detainer issued by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency lodged against them since January 29, 2024.

Access to public records is essential for us at South Central Reporter to fulfill our professional responsibilities. These include holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public. Given our role in disseminating information, we believe we are eligible for a fee waiver as media professionals.

We will continue to keep you updated as we gather and report news on this matter.
