ICE has been touting record-high arrest numbers this summer—and they are not wrong.
The daily rate of ICE arrests in June was over 1,300,
the highest month of the Trump administration,
and in July that number increased again to a record 1,474 arrests per day for the first 11 days for which we have data.
This reverses a trend we saw since the early fall where overall arrest numbers had actually remained fairly consistent or declined.
The purported shift in ICE…

highschool: Illinois high school students (1958)
A network of friendships among male students in a small high school in Illinois from 1958. An arc points from student i to student j if i named j as a friend, in either of two identical surveys (from Fall and Spring semesters). Edge weights are the number of surveys in which the friendship was named.
This network has 70 nodes and 366 edges.

Real or not, polling has always presented journalists with a tricky proposition.
There’s something irresistible about them.
Hard numbers that appear to measure an election before it’s actually been decided? -- Who doesn’t want that?
But polls are estimates, not predictions.
Their usefulness depends heavily on who conducted them,

If a person’s license plate appears in the database, it…

👉The model focuses on housing as a fundamental human right rather than a reward.
Temporary accommodation is seen not as a solution, but something to be avoided.
