Many documents are available to the public without having to make a FOIA request. These documents are called “proactive disclosures” because they are automatically posted online by all Department components. Please find link below to all Department of Justice components to access their documents that are available online.
The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) processes requests for the immigration courts, the Board of Immigration Appeals and the Office of the Chief Administrative Hearing Officer. EOIR posts documents from these offices without the need to make a FOIA request.
