We use to be a country that took data seriously. However, ever since the Trump ‘gaslight’ administration, who manipulated data and created their own alternative version – remember the infamous weather map ridiculousness – data is now seen, not as something that helps us improve our practices, but something that exposes the cracks and deepening fissures of those agencies who don’t want anyone to know their failings.

What exactly does it mean for Americans?; Everyone, from the White House to MAGA, are expecting a surge in migrants at the border as Title 42 ends.
