One
fact
sheet
as
CBP
expands
the
app’s
use
On
January
5,
the
Biden
administration
unveiled
several
policy
changes
to
address
the
issues
at
the
U.S.-Mexico
border
and
announced
the
expansion
of
CBP
One
as
the
primary
method
for
individuals
seeking
to
enter
the
country
to
submit
their
biometric
information
prior
to

district
court
decision.
The
court
focused
on
the
fact
that
ICE
uses
A-Numbers
as
the
“key”
or
“code”
to
pull
information
about
individuals
from
various
databases.
It
held
that
FOIA’s
"broad
disclosure
policy"
requires
the
agency
to
use
a
different
code
in
order
to
provide
the
public
access
to
information
in
agency
databases
in
the
same
manner
it
is
available
to
the
agency.
In
this
case,
the
court
held
that
Unique
IDs
consisting
of
"any
combinations
of
numbers,
letters,
or
symbols”
that
would
allow
the
public
to
access
records
would
serve
this
purpose
and
would
not
constitute
the
creation
of
a
“new
record.”


The
case
may
have
far-reaching
consequences
for
immigration
agencies
that
have
long
collected
information
in
databases
in
a
way
that
bars
meaningful
access
to
information
about
individual
immigrants.


The
Council
and
partners
filed
an
amicus
brief
[[link removed]]
in
support
of
the
ACLU.
