ICE data release: Sep. 2023 to late Jul. 2025
Fourth ICE Data Release Under New Administration
The Deportation Data Project has obtained a new release of nationwide, individual-level Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data, now covering the period from September 1, 2023 to July 29, 2025. The new dataset extends the previous (late June) release by approximately one month. It includes four tables tracking encounters, detainers, arrests, and detentions, respectively. Unfortunately, it does not include removals because that table contained significant appararent errors. We are actively seeking updated and corrected data.
The new dataset, like the ones released in June and July, was obtained through a FOIA lawsuit against ICE brought by the UCLA Center for Immigration Law and Policy, represented by Lieff Cabraser Heimann & Bernstein LLP and Amber Qureshi of the Deportation Data Project. The dataset includes anonymized identifiers that correspond to individuals, allowing users to follow individuals through the enforcement process without learning their identities.
