Fresh data, with a record of every change.

Southern-border watchlist records · 19 September 2026

Added the Southwest rows of CBP’s current terrorism-related encounter tables: FY2019–2025 and a separate FY2026-through-August partial period. Both components reconcile with CBP’s northern-border and nationwide totals. The source page, last modified September 16, is preserved with its retrieval date and checksum.

The source now describes terrorism-related records that may include the Terrorist Screening Dataset (TSDS), rather than supplying a separate TSDS-only count. Port figures include U.S. citizens and repeat encounters; between-port figures cover non-U.S. citizens. The large FY2025 port movement is unexplained in the source and is flagged alongside the published counts. No growth rate or causal explanation is inferred.

Scheduled checks

A weekly review is scheduled for Mondays. It checks official release pages and stages supported datasets for validation. Government publication dates vary: ACS is annual, DOL and Home Office releases are generally quarterly, and Eurostat series follow their own calendars.

This review currently runs through the owner’s desktop task scheduler and requires that computer and app to be running. It is not an always-on hosted data feed. The site continues to serve the last validated release when a check cannot run or an upstream source is unavailable.

Before publication

1. Preserve the original file, retrieval date and checksum.
2. Check columns, units, dates, identities, geography and source metadata.
3. Reconcile totals, recompute derived values and compare revisions.
4. Review missing records, unusual changes, revised definitions and breaks in series.
5. Publish a validated release and retain earlier source versions.

An unexplained change is held for review. The public site does not query government APIs on every visit. Rounded figures, margins of error and provisional flags remain attached to their observations.

Launch review · 17 September 2026

Federal refugee and entrant assistance now includes FY2025 actual outlays of $5.821 billion, from the FY2027 Budget Appendix. Estimates for later years are not included. Germany’s affected crime series mark both the 2024 cannabis-law transition and the first full year under the new law in 2025. Earlier records remain in the source archive.

Shared images now include immigrationnumbers.org. Source-link checks cover the full published catalog and distinguish confirmed broken links from temporary blocks or timeouts. UK calculation wording and the Ceuta Council-source period were also corrected; neither change alters the displayed headline figures.

Public spending and broader benefits

Five annual U.S. spending programs now have separate source-backed histories and selected-period totals. SSI recipient trends, SNAP monthly estimates and Chicago’s audited fixed-period spending retain their different units and reporting periods. Overlapping programs are not added into a combined total.

Corrections, freshness and saved citations

Chart tools show source retrieval dates, accept private error reports and save immutable selections of published data for citation. Retrieval is distinct from the period measured. Unannounced publication dates remain unknown. Sitewide search covers existing countries, metrics, sources and employer records.

Sweden’s historical birthplace study

The Brå study covers 2007–2018. It is an occasional research release, not an annual series. Brå’s plan, checked 17 September 2026, schedules an update covering 2019–2024 for late 2026. This is planned timing, not a guarantee; current citizenship-based prison statistics remain a separate dataset.

Crime data added

Added U.S. federal sentencing, a separate Texas immigration-status dataset, England and Wales prison statistics, and European justice data by citizenship. Original documents are preserved. Missing cells, inconsistent totals and flagged historical breaks remain visible; immigration-group crime rates are not inferred.

France origin-data correction

France’s Eurostat country extract omitted current non-EU origins and could be mistaken for a complete ranking. The France dashboard now uses a separately labeled INSEE immigrant-origin breakdown, with African regions, published country shares and explicit denominators. The Eurostat foreign-born headline retains its broader definition. INSEE’s 2024 census break and historical 2020–2021 regional context are labeled. Original files and the source-vintage audit are preserved.

Non-citizen trends over time

Crime pages now show one non-citizen series with offense and year-range controls. Correlation graphs and citizen-share comparisons have been removed. Source labels distinguish sentencing, convictions, suspects and prison snapshots. Missing years and source breaks remain visible. Foreign-born and naturalized-citizen categories are not inferred.

Offence types and selected-period counts

Added official offence breakdowns for Spain, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Italy. Sweden has a separate historical foreign-born suspect series. Ireland’s missing joint nationality-by-offence coverage is explained on the page. The headline follows the selected offence and years: a sum of annual records, or an average for prison snapshots. Incomplete periods stay unavailable. Suspects, conviction offences and prison populations retain their own definitions.

Country expansion

Added seven European countries, 2023–2024 U.S. ACS nativity and citizenship data, 2024 birthplace tables where published, FY2025 DOL employer aggregates, and June 2026 UK regional asylum-support and Afghan resettlement figures.

Country-of-birth detail is unavailable in some source geographies. Employer filings are not actual workers. Support snapshots are not annual arrivals.
