ICE released new data on immigrant detention this morning, and I broke it all down in a new Substack post—charts, tables, key takeaways, and a link to the raw data if you want to dig deeper.
But I also know that data can feel overwhelming or like a black box if you don’t have the background. So I hosted a live session on Substack Live, where I walked through the post on camera, explained where the data comes from, how to think about it, and why it matters. Think of it as a guided tour through the numbers with plenty of context along the way.
You can watch the video above or treat it like a podcast and just listen. I’m keeping the tone upbeat and welcoming, whether you’re a longtime data nerd or just starting to explore this world. If you’d like to see more of these live explainers, let me know. I’m excited to keep building this community with you.
Thank you
