Immigration / U.S. national reporting
Follow the published numbers. See what changed, what each number counts, and where the evidence stops.
Read the measurement. Encounters are enforcement events, not a count of all illegal entries or unique people. Removal orders are court decisions, not completed deportations. Voluntary departures, returns and self-deportation estimates remain separate.

Do not add these indicators together. Some measures overlap; others count decisions, applications, events or estimates. Higher or lower counts are not assigned a universal “good” or “bad” score.
Source coverage
CBP, ICE, the State Department, USCIS, DHS and the Justice Department publish free datasets and reports. This tab uses verified report snapshots where a reliable public API is unavailable. Opening an indicator shows the original source, reporting window, publication date, limitations and downloadable observations.
Daily source checks cannot create new daily figures. Older figures stay visible until a newer report is verified. An unavailable count is not zero. Read the methodology.
