“Masked men from ICE showed up one April morning, and it all stopped. The kids couldn’t leave their homes. Our weekly classes stopped,” said Vu, a Sid Richardson College freshman. “Week after week, I would hear word of another family who left without a word. We made [the map] a few weeks later.” The website, icemap.dev, tracks ICE-related news incidents in individual counties, as well as immigrant detention facilities with documented health and security inspection failures.

    None of these are the same thing. ICE List is a wiki, all the others are crowdsourced reports. This one is:

    icemap aggregates both unstructured and structured data from a multitude of public online sources, then distills these data into useful news streams and figures. Currently, this vizualization pulls statistics and articles from ICE newsroom reports, TRAC immigration data, as well as a myriad of local and national news sources.

    There’s no problem with decentralization if the data used is all the same. In fact, it provides for a credible exit.
