Where are your people from? Update

12/4/2025 – Just Talk (Bill Martin)

Here is an updated and expanded map of official ICE detainees in the Broome County Jail up to October 15, 2025:

This includes persons from  Albania, Algeria, Angola, Bangladesh, Belarus, Brazil, Bulgaria, Burma, Cameroon, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Czech Republic, D.R. Congo, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Eritrea,  Georgia, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Hungary, India, Iran, Israel, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Mexico, Morocco, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Pakistan,  Romania, Russia, Spain, Sri Lanka, St. Lucia, Taiwan, Tajikstan, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkiye, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Venezuela.

We need followups:  Who and why was the Ukrainian citizen deported to Russia according to the ICE data? How many persons arrested locally or held on state or Federal charges are later turned into ICE detainees? Why doesn’t the Broome County Jail include on its list of “inmates” on the Sheriff’s app the names of any ICE detainees, some who spend many months in the jail?

Source Note

This map was generated from government data provided by ICE in response to a FOIA request to the Deportation Data Project and analyzed by Justtalk. The dataset on detentions (here) is incomplete. The dataset runs only to October 15, 2025,  missing continual flows since then. It excludes lists of persons for whom ICE sent detainers to the Broome Jail with uncertain outcomes. And some people who have been held in the jail under Federal charges aren’t recorded under ICE even if held only on successive deportation charges.  So the numbers and countries are assuredly more numerous than this map suggests;  Jamaica and Azerbaijan, for example, also likely belong to the list.
