Immigration Enforcement has been in the news lately, and I found that I wanted to dig into the data myself.
From what I could tell, when journalists write about immigration enforcement they tend to use data from TRAC (the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse). When I went to TRAC myself, though, I found that they provide raw data but no visulizations.
So I built a simple Streamlit app that visualizes the subset of their data that most interests me, and hosted it on Streamlit Cloud.
The dataset shows detentions by agency (ICE and CBP), and also the criminal status of detainees. My app lets you visualize each subset of the data over time.
The app is open source, completely non-partisan, and only attempts to inform the public.
If this topic interests you, I hope that you take a moment to view the app and share it.
