TRAC Releases New Data Tool for Federal Immigration Prosecutions

TRAC released a new resource on their immigration quick facts page that provides data on immigration prosecutions in federal court. The page is updated monthly with data obtained through FOIA on prosecutions filed by US Attorney offices in federal courts around the country.

The page includes four data points: the total number of immigration prosecutions, the total number of referrals from CBP and ICE, the percent of immigration convictions out of all convictions for the most recent month, and the state with the largest percentage of immigration convictions out of all convictions. 

TRAC’s new Immigration Prosecutions page is available online here: https://trac.syr.edu/immigration/quickfacts/criminal.html. TRAC’s two other quick facts pages include recent data on immigrant detention and immigration court cases.
