The Pipeline

Arrest → Detention → Deportation → Destination


What Nobody Else Has Built

Other organizations track pieces. We're building the complete picture.

System 1: The Arrests

Status: OPERATIONAL

What we track:
- Fatal shootings by federal agents
- Immigration raids and mass arrests
- Non-fatal violence (tear gas, vehicle assaults)
- Geographic patterns and escalation

Coverage: All 50 states + 5 territories, weekly automated sweep

Key findings (2026):
- 2 U.S. citizens shot dead in Minneapolis
- Portland tear gas deployment
- Speech criminalization (Kyle Wagner arrest)

System 2: The Cages

Status: IN QUEUE

What we're mapping:
- Every detention facility in the United States
- Operator (for-profit vs. government)
- Capacity and actual population
- Death rate per facility
- Conditions and inspection failures
- Proximity to deportation airports

Key findings so far:
- Camp East Montana, TX: 3+ deaths in 3 months (including 1 HOMICIDE)
- 68,440 detainees in December 2025 (78% increase from January)
- For-profit operators have higher death rates

System 3: The Flights

Status: FEASIBILITY VALIDATED

What we'll track:
- 49+ daily deportation flights
- Aircraft identification and routes
- Origin airports (which camps feed which flights)
- Destination countries (including CECOT)
- Operational tempo changes

Key findings so far:
- Flight volume doubled since January 2025
- DHS purchased 6 Boeing 737s for its own fleet (December 2025)
- CECOT receiving U.S. deportees with no legal process

Full flight documentation →


System 4: The Destinations

Status: PLANNED

What we'll document:
- Where deportees end up
- CECOT conditions (no legal representation, no communication, indefinite)
- Haiti conditions (collapsed state, immediate danger)
- Repatriation outcomes (what happens after "deportation")


The Strategic Intelligence

When all four systems are operational, this pipeline reveals:

Operational Tempo

Is the machine accelerating? In 2025:

  • January: ~38,000 detainees
  • December: ~68,440 detainees (+78%)
  • Flights doubled
  • Deaths increased

The machine is accelerating.

Geographic Patterns

Where are people being arrested, caged, and deported?

  • Minnesota is an arrest hotspot (Operation Metro Surge)
  • Florida concentrates detention deaths
  • Texas hosts deadliest facilities
  • Rural counties profit from detention contracts

Corporate Profit

Who makes money from human caging?

  • GEO Group (NYSE: GEO) — Billions in federal contracts
  • CoreCivic (NYSE: CXW) — Billions in federal contracts
  • County governments — Revenue from ICE bed contracts
  • Airlines — iAero Airways, World Atlantic Airlines

Death Pipeline

Which parts of the machine kill people?

  • Arrests: Shootings during raids
  • Detention: Medical neglect, "suicides," homicides
  • Flights: Unknown (no transparency on in-transit conditions)
  • Destinations: CECOT (black hole — no information leaves)

Who Needs This Intelligence

  • Journalists: Complete picture for investigative reporting
  • Lawyers: Evidence for litigation (conditions, medical neglect, wrongful death)
  • Activists: Understanding the machine to resist it
  • Legislators: Data for policy accountability
  • International bodies: Documentation for human rights investigations
  • History: Accurate record of what the United States did

The pipeline exists. The machine is real. The people are dying.

Our job is to make sure everyone can see it.

Build intelligence. Shine light. Let the people see.
