Jeff Hargarten’s ICE Github Repository
Minnesota Star-Tribune data reporter shares resources on tracking ICE data.
ICEout.org
Collects community-submitted information about possible ICE activity to help inform the public and raise awareness. All reports are reviewed by our moderator team before appearing on the map. They categorize reports as either confirmed, which are submitted through trusted community partners such as RRNs and nonprofits, or non-confirmed, which come from the general public.
Deportation Data Project
Collects and posts public, anonymized U.S. government immigration enforcement datasets. It uses the Freedom of Information Act to gather datasets directly from the government, and we also post datasets that the government has posted proactively or in response to others’ requests. They expect these datasets to be used by journalists, researchers, lawyers and policymakers.

Worst of the Worst Database
This DHS database that oversells minor offenses of ICE detainees. Bbe careful of using this, as parts of it are propaganda. But there is some useful data: names, faces, etc.. Many had just parking tickets and misdemeanors; people falsely accused, etc. Filter all the nonsense out and you can see trends going back to the start of Trump’s second administration.
