Dear Mr Dikoff,
Re: Freedom of Information request – 61618
Thank you for your email correspondence of 9 December 2020, in which you ask for
information regarding migrants released from detention who subsequently abscond. Your
request is being handled as a request for information under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000 (FOIA).
You specifically asked:
Please provide information on absconding rates for people released from immigration
detention in 2019 and 2020. I have seen FOI request 54858 which asked for a similar
number for 2017 and 2018 and would like an update on this
I regret that we are unable to send you a full response to your request within 20 working
days, as required by the FOIA. I would like to apologise on behalf of the Department for
this delay, but I can assure you that we are dealing with your request and we will send you
a full reply as soon as possible.
Yours sincerely,
Immigration Enforcement Secretariat
