ICE Contracts

Data visualization of ICE contactors and contract data published by DDoSecrets on March 1, 2023. The data was hacked from DHS' Office of Industry Partnership and leaked by a group calling themselves the Department of Peace.

Static Data Explorer (MVP)

This repo now includes a simple static website for exploring DHS contractor and contract data with search, filters, rankings, and a state-level map.

1) Build derived web data

Run:

./scripts/build_derived_data.sh

This writes preprocessed files to web/data/:

• contracts_enriched.json
• contractors_index.json
• company_rollups.json
• state_rollups.json
• summary_metrics.json

2) Serve the static site

From the repo root:

python3 -m http.server 8000

Then open:

• http://localhost:8000/web/

Notes

• Contractor-to-contract links are inferred by normalized company name matching.
• The map is state-level (not street-level geocoding) and uses available state fields in contracts.
