3.2: Immigration Review and Information Exchange System

Implement the Immigration Review and Information Exchange System (IRIES) to facilitate collaboration within DOJ and with other government entities.

Other Information:

The President’s Management Agenda encourages the use of information technology to facilitate communications between agencies and with the public. IRIES will serve as the conduit through which EOIR will share data with its external business partners in the federal government. This project will enable EOIR to provide timely documents and information to law enforcement agencies. EOIR will work with DHS to exchange information more efficiently and effectively, striving to eliminate various manual processes and enhance the accuracy of information vital to both agencies. EOIR and the Civil Division also will allow interaction between their systems for purposes of federal immigration litigation. EOIR will eliminate, or at least greatly alleviate, issues of cross jurisdiction, court frustration, and timely and effective litigation strategies by allowing EOIR data to populate Civil databases through IRIES. Certified administrative records will be delivered electronically through IRIES, dramatically reducing shipping time frames and limiting occurrences of lost or damaged records, which will enhance the security of record delivery. By coordinating documentation and information exchanges between the various federal immigration litigation stakeholders, EOIR will be able to minimize the current frustrations, inconsistencies, and susceptibility to abuse, such as the recent examples of forged Board decisions and notices. Measure: Status update on IRIES implementation.
