Under the Trump administration, immigration enforcement has led to mass deportations, with detainees sent to unsanitary sites. Despite claims that those deported are the 'worst of the worst', statistics reveal inconsistencies due to a lack of transparency from the Department of Homeland Security. To address this, the Deportation Data Project was launched by UC Berkeley's School of Law. This project gathers data, files Freedom of Information Act requests, and even sues when necessary to ensure access to immigration statistics, becoming a crucial resource for accurate information during this opaque period.
The Deportation Data Project serves as a vital source of information, enabling journalists and lawyers to access detailed immigration enforcement statistics, especially vital amid the Trump administration's reduction in transparency.
Data scientists and lawyers at UC Berkeley's School of Law launched the Deportation Data Project to counter the lack of published immigration statistics from the Trump administration by compiling and disseminating information.
