Context and guidance for the current view
These visualizations provide a high-level summary of verified enforcement incidents.
The pie chart shows which types of misconduct are most common. If "use of force" dominates, it may indicate systemic issues with enforcement tactics.
Bar height shows incident volume. Look for spikes that correlate with policy announcements or political events.
Citizens cannot be deported, yet they appear in ICE/CBP actions—often due to profiling or database errors. This represents potential constitutional violations.
Understand how enforcement intensity changes over time.
Shows individual incident occurrences by date. Clustering indicates coordinated operations.
The bar chart shows incidents per week. The red trend line (3-week moving average) smooths out noise to reveal true escalation or de-escalation patterns.
The area chart shows running total over time. A steep slope indicates accelerated enforcement; plateaus suggest lulls. The final number shows total documented incidents.
Horizontal patterns: Darker rows show preferred enforcement days (e.g., Fridays before weekends).
Vertical patterns: Dark columns mark high-activity weeks—correlate these with policy changes or political events.
Location patterns reveal enforcement priorities and potential targeting.
The choropleth shows incident density by state. Darker colors indicate higher enforcement activity. Compare this to immigrant population data to identify disproportionate targeting.
Major cities dominate due to population and reporting infrastructure. Unusual spikes in smaller cities may indicate targeted operations.
Enforcement at schools, churches, hospitals violates DHS policy. The presence/absence chart shows overall sensitive location incidents.
Shows which types of protected spaces are most frequently violated—schools, hospitals, churches, etc. Patterns here indicate systemic disregard for constitutional boundaries.
Each card represents a verified incident from reputable media or court filings.
"Verified" means corroborated by:
Quantitative insights into incident patterns and data quality.
Incidents often involve multiple misconduct types. Frequent combinations suggest systemic issues where one violation leads to others.
Shows how many incidents involve just one type of misconduct versus multiple. High multi-category rates suggest escalating situations.
Compares which types of incidents affect U.S. citizens vs non-citizens. Disproportionate citizen involvement in certain categories reveals civil liberties concerns.
Source diversity: More sources = higher reliability
Rate: Incidents per day shows enforcement intensity
Multi-category %: High overlap suggests escalating misconduct
