I don’t know what you’re really looking for, but heres some corroborating data from the migrant policy institute, that covers migration all over the world. But as a general rule, .gov websites have much more accurate research on topics and .orgs typically aren’t accepted as valid sources (on things like academic papers, or research)
What you’re doing is called being delusional, Under the Biden administration they over exaggerated the job report numbers by upwards of 800k and then was revised, that hasn’t happened under Trump and you can’t say “they lied” just because you feel like it. They report numbers and they are consistent with reporting, if they aren’t then it’s investigated and revised (like what happened numerous times under Bidens admin.
So you already know that this stuff can be falsified. What happens if the people in power (who have the ability to order investigations) are the ones who want the data falsified? I promise you, I’m not being delusional. I used to rely on federal data sets for my thesis research. It’s my job to understand data.
And again ICE has been pretty fair in it’s reporting, honestly showing higher numbers when Biden was president, then showing lower numbers when Trump was president, you can tell its nonpartisan because they wouldn’t be showing the Data that says Obama deported more illegal immigrants than Trump
Who is responsible for maintaining the dataset? How do they manage to compile all the different data points from across our southern border? How accurately and precisely is that data collected? What was the nature of the encounters? What was the length of the encounters? These are all things we can’t see
"these people have radically changed how they operate and are providing inconsistent and contradictory data and conclusions" I don't trust "these people show findings, are peer reviewed, open to repeating (but not ignorant questions), havent changed, and consistently provide substantive, real results that you can feel (like medicine working, data about diseases that is consistent!)" I do trust
Well you see, NOAA has weather station data publicly available, you can see the exact readings for each sensor. The FBI has case reports documenting everything about a case. The CDC collects data from clinics and hospitals, and provides that dataset and its sources in a very UX friendly way (or, at least, they used to up until this January)
You make them sound like a swarm of locusts… there’s a little secret about stats you may not know, there is NEVER 100% if anything, there’s always error, what’s more likely happening is records just aren’t being properly taken or filed. Would make sense with how many federal workers got fired.
HE DIDN’T FUCKING SAY HED DEPORT ALL OF THEM YOU MORON YOU’RE SO FUCKING SLOW THE DATA IS BACKED UP BY SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS OF THE GOVERNMENT WHICH WOULD TAKE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE CORROBORATING TOGETHER WITH NO WHISTLE BLOWERS SAYING THE NUMBERS ARENT ACCURATE THEY GET NUMBERS FROM PERSONAL REPORTS JUST LIKE THE FBI YOURE SO FUCKING STUPUD
You can literally check their website, you can check the congressional Research service CRS.gov or look at the committee on Homeland security, but because you don’t believe your OWN EYES because of some weird bias against data collection, there’s no point and it’ll never be available to you.
consider that somebody taught you this “general rule” because they teach 150 students a day and don’t have time to evaluate the context of every information source each one uses in every single research project, but still knows you are likely to cite an AI overview or the top hit on google when given the chance
Real talk I do think OP is beyond help but I think it’s important to say lest other people get ideas. And ICE needs to be held accountable for being so enthusiastic about being a secret police and propaganda machine. As someone from a division that’s actually been pretty vocal about resisting, at least below the appointee level, it’s just extra gross to see.
