Deportation Data Project

The Deportation Data Project collects and posts public, anonymized U.S. government immigration enforcement datasets. We expect these datasets to be used by journalists, researchers, lawyers, and policymakers.

Obtaining

We obtain immigration enforcement data from the U.S. government, primarily through Freedom of Information Act requests.

Explore requests

Posting

We share datasets that we obtain, that the government posts proactively in response to other requests, and that others share with us.
