  • This is a count of what the feeds ImmigrationClock ingests published, not a complete record of every U.S. immigration change.
  • Severity is assigned by explicit rules per source, never by a model and never by attention.

Methodology & sources
Data signals are computed from the same committed snapshots the site renders — never typed in, never estimated, never written by a model. Only reported figures and exact counts of ImmigrationClock’s own archive qualify; nothing projected or modeled appears here. Direction and magnitude are stated, never causation. See all insights.
