Data is Plural: “The Deportation Data Project, run by a team of academics and lawyers, “collects and posts public, anonymized U.S. government immigration enforcement datasets.” These include data from border apprehensions, deportations, Title 42 expulsions, ICE arrests and detentions, ICE-operated flights, and more. Some of the data files come directly from the government, while others were initially obtained from the government by other organizations, such as the University of Washington Center for Human Rights. The project also posts information about its Freedom of Information Act requests.
