""We've never had better immigration data, we've never had more creatively sourced immigration data, in the history of the country," said Austin Kocher, a veteran of TRAC who focuses on closing the gap between data and journalists."
""The other thing that's also true is we are living in a Wild West. There are a lot of people getting their hands in datasets that they never have before," Kocher added."
The Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) remains a key resource for immigration data, but new sites have emerged since President Trump took office. These sites provide reliable government data, reflecting increased immigration enforcement. Austin Kocher, a TRAC veteran, acknowledges the abundance of creatively sourced immigration data while expressing concerns about transparency. His firm, Relevant Research, offers tools like the Immigration Enforcement Dashboard and ICE Detention Reports, which track arrests and detention statistics, highlighting the dual nature of improved data access and potential transparency issues.
