ICE Arrests in the DMV

Data for these charts come from the Deportation Data Project at the law school at the University of California, Berkeley, a repository of immigration enforcement data.

The data covers administrative arrests — arrests in which ICE is seeking to deport rather than criminally prosecute the arrestee — that were conducted by the agency’s Enforcement and Removal Operations division through June 10. It does not include criminal arrests, arrests by ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations division or arrests by Customs and Border Protection.

The shading under the curves is darker after January 20, Inauguration Day. It's easy to spot even without the shading.
