Directed Inquiry

Question: "Using public health data, school enrollment records, and crime reporting statistics from ICE-active jurisdictions, measure behavioral changes in immigrant communities following the deployment of ImmigrationOS. Compare healthcare utilization, school enrollment, and crime reporting rates before and after contract activation dates from USASpending."

Research Findings

Research reveals significant behavioral changes in immigrant communities following ImmigrationOS deployment and intensified ICE enforcement starting January 2025. Healthcare utilization declined dramatically, with 84% of healthcare workers reporting significant decreases in patient visits, while vaccination rates plummeted - Dallas County saw children's vaccinations drop from 11,500 to 5,800 between August 2024 and 2025. School enrollment fell substantially, with Los Angeles and Miami-Dade both experiencing 4% decreases, and Chicago schools saw attendance drop 1.25 percentage points with English language learners particularly affected.

Regarding crime reporting, the data shows complex patterns. While ICE dramatically expanded arrests with 73% of detainees having no criminal conviction and only 5% having violent convictions, academic research consistently shows crime reporting is inversely related to immigrant populations, with Hispanic victims less likely to report crimes during enforcement periods. However, some studies found that when enforcement focused specifically on serious criminals (as in the 2015 Priority Enforcement Program), Hispanic crime reporting actually increased by 4%. The current enforcement approach appears to prioritize quantity over targeting serious criminals, potentially undermining both public safety and community trust.
