This matter is before the undersigned upon the petition for enforcement of administrative
subpoenas filed by the United States of America.
The Court has examined the administrative subpoena to Marion County in this case to
determine whether it is enforceable under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(d)(4) and United States v. Morton
Salt, 338 U.S. 632 (1950). The Court finds the administrative subpoena to Marion County is
valid and the information it requests is subject to production under § 1225(d)(4).
Under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(d)(4)(B), and based upon the petition and motion filed by Marion
County, and all the records herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1.The Petition to Enforce Administrative Subpoenas, ECF No. 1, is GRANTED as to
Marion County Respondents;
2.That Marion County Respondents comply with the administrative subpoenas within
seven (7) days of the date of this Order and produce responsive documents within their custody
and control. If the information and/or documents are not within their custody and control, Marion
County Respondents will serve on Petitioner an appropriate custodial declaration.
