The Deportation Data Project released new data last night. Follow along while I identify important trends, unpack key findings, and respond to your questions and comments.
Okay. I’m confused. I’ve been looking at the latest detention spreadsheet all day. For example, there is a stay book in with the same date and time for four people, adult man and woman and two children, followed by the detention staging or hold office. What is the difference between detention book out and stay book out? And where do I find details of the transfers and detention stays?
I saw the notation “Homeland Security Investigation” on deportation particulars in the Removals spreadsheet for a family I’m researching. I know what month the HSI was first listed on the detention data. Would there be any other reports from the DHS world to find more information on the family’s HSIs?
Yes on their deportations, everyone member of family had a Homeland Security Investigation notation. I think it played a role in the Mom and two boys being deported back to Guatemala and the twelve daughter deported to India. The deportations took place on July 3. The Mom and boys from Harlingen, Texas and the girl from Alexandria airport in Louisiana. I’m trying to find out why is happened.
Looking at the arrest dataset in the Deportation Data Project's data explorer, one of the categories for 'apprehension method' is '287(g) program,' but you mentioned that this dataset doesn't include arrests by non-federal LEAs in the program. What does the 287(g) classification mean if it doesn't indicate an arrest by a participating agency?
ICE case-level data sometimes includes the number of years the person has been in the US. Is that information showing up in a sufficient number of cases to allow for a meaningful analysis?
Just checking: In this graphic, do you mean percentages of percents (I see the decimal point then the numbers to the decimal's right) or do you mean percentages without the decimal point? I'm assuming the latter but want to be sure. "ICE Arrests by Percent No Criminal History"

How did you decipher or decode that long string of numbers you gave as an example for a Haitian woman’s detention history?
Do you have data for the other (non Top 10) states? Specifically, might you share New Mexico's?
I just added a download-able spreadsheet in that sections. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much.

What do you mean by "the family's HSI's"?

Do we check your substack for updates?
Basically, yes, just come back and refresh. :)
I downloaded the spreadsheets yesterday and continuing research on ICE detention. DD’s latest data dump was perfectly timed.🫶🏽

Afraid not! Not in this data.

Sorry, can you restate the question? I don't understand but I possibly misstated something.
You have:
0.21%
0.36%
0.51%
0.66%
Somewhat confusing to have the 0 and the decimal point for each figure. I'm assuming it should be 21%, 36%, 51% etc?
Oh you mean the legend on the map! Yes I see it now. I’ll fix that.
OK it’s fixed. Datawrapper is sometimes a little annoying with percentages
