Data repository
This page collects and reposts individual-level Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Justice Department Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR) datasets. In most cases, these datasets are also available for download elsewhere. The original source is always a government agency (ICE, CBP or EOIR), but where other third parties have posted the data before we have, we link to their sites as the source.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement
ICE collects data on every person it encounters, arrests, detains, transports via flight, and deports, and every detainer request to local jails.
We post processed ICE data for the most recent release, including arrests, detainer requests, and detentions. These data have indicators for whether a record may be a duplicate and date fields standardized where possible.

We also post the original ICE datasets as released by ICE, including older releases and for tables that are not currently up-to-date such as ICE Air flights.
Customs and Border Protection
CBP collects individual-level data on every person it arrests or expels at the border as well as on every person who arrives at a port of entry whom it deems inadmissible (most frequently asylum seekers). Border arrest data are collected by the Border Patrol; inadmissible arrivals data are collected by the Office of Field Operations. CBP maintains a detailed FOIA library with these datasets and others.
Executive Office for Immigration Review
(Immigration Courts)
The Executive Office for Immigration Review at the Department of Justice collects information on every immigration court case, including information on scheduling, case type, immigration charges, applications for relief, and appeals. The datasets includes records from the 1970s to the last year, though most are much more recent. The agency posts an updated dataset monthly in their FOIA Library, because of a FOIA request originally filed by TRAC.
Executive Office for United States Attorneys
(Immigration Prosecutions)
The Executive Office for United States Attorneys at the Department of Justice collects information on every prosecution by US Attorneys offices around the country in the LIONS national caseload dataset. These include prosecutions of criminal violations of immigration laws.
Agency reports
We collect and repost government reports that draw from the individual-level datasets we post. We hope that this centralized repository of reports (and links to government websites) will help users of the individual-level data. The reports come from the Office of Homeland Security Statistics (OHSS), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Executive Office of Immigration Review (EOIR).
