About ICE Radar

ICE Radar is an independent news and data project that helps the public understand U.S. immigration enforcement through rigorously sourced, historical reporting. We are not affiliated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Homeland Security, any political party, or any law firm.

What we do

• Collect published official records, court documents and news reports.
• Summarize each event factually, at city or county scale, with links to every source.
• Label each event's strength of evidence with a clear verification tier.
• Point readers to authoritative data and legal-help resources.

What we will never do

• Track or map the real-time location of officers, vehicles, or operations.
• Send “imminent raid” alerts or publish unverified allegations.
• Identify officers or publish personal details of detained people.
• Offer tactical guidance for evading law enforcement, or legal advice.
