ICE 287(g) data dictionary
Source: Deportation Data Project codebook. The descriptions below explain the retained source columns; publisher classifications and free-text flags are not recoded.
Types and exact SQL NULL counts are measured from the built snapshot. Missing geometry is also represented by 406 empty WKB geometries, so its SQL NULL count of zero does not mean complete coverage. Agency geographic fields describe active or most recently listed agreement geography. See README for timing and linkage caveats.
