We have a new ICE Detention Facilities Data Scraper and Enricher release for you. It's a Python script managed by the Open Security Mapping Project.
In short this will help identify the online profile of each ICE detention facility, and a lot of additional data about each facility. Please see the project home page for more about mapping these facilities and other detailed info sources.
This script scrapes ICE detention facility data from ICE.gov and enriches it with information from Wikipedia, Wikidata, and
OpenStreetMap.
The original purpose is to identify if the detention facilities have data on Wikipedia, Wikidata and OpenStreetMap, which will help with documenting the facilities appropriately. As these entries get fixed up, you should be able to see your search results change almost immediately.
This release covers some bugs that turned up - exports are cleaner now!
What's Changed Since 1.1.0
- Fix flatten, dep tracking, and other small bugs by @johnseekins in #103
Details
- Fix existing dictionary flattening function to properly flatten lists
- drop "empty" lines from spreadsheet collection
- group dependabot updates to reduce churn in PRs somewhat
- Move ruff out of standard dependencies (again to hopefully reduce PR churn)
- Re-order inspections so we hopefully see the newest one first
- Default export to csv (like it used to be)
- try to get some more consistent representation of strings for ZIP codes
Full Changelog: 1.1.0...1.1.1
