Tracking data from a chaotic year, from ICE detention and job growth to inflation and the president’s popularity
The Trump administration has had an unprecedented first year. The Guardian has been hard at work tracking the social and political ramifications of Donald Trump’s second term through words and pictures. But sometimes the story is best told through charts and graphs. Here are some of the vital data points that the Guardian has been tracking on immigration, the economy and public opinion.
One of the most drastic changes in Trump’s first year is the way that immigration enforcement has changed. People with no criminal history are now the largest group in immigration detention.
The Trump administration recently suspended visa processing for people from 75 countries. These are the nations with the most visas issued in 2024 that are now on the banned-country list.
Trump was ushered into office on his promises of improving the economy. Though inflation is lower than Biden-era highs, job growth has been lackluster.
