DOJ EOIR proposes new system of records for Fraud and Abuse Prevention Program

What happened

The Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) intends to create a new system of records notice, JUSTICE/EOIR-006, to cover all Fraud and Abuse Prevention Program records. The new notice would replace partial coverage under the existing JUSTICE/EOIR-001 system of records. The system will support receiving, tracking, and managing complaints of suspected immigration fraud and related abuse.

Why it matters for trust and compliance

• Its status is proposed. It is not law yet. Track it, but do not treat it as an obligation.
• The proposal expands Privacy Act record‑keeping for immigration fraud complaints, affecting how personal data are collected and shared with law‑enforcement agencies.

Who is affected

Recommended actions

1. Check that privacy notices describe the practices this addresses.
2. Confirm access, correction, deletion and opt-out requests are handled within the required time.
3. Revisit retention schedules and data minimisation for the data involved.
