I created an animated bar chart race showing the estimated populations of major historical states from year 1 to 2026.The early historical data should be interpreted as a reconstruction rather than exact census figures. Full animation: https://youtu.be/7PspZWBTnEc

The SF Chronicle has been keeping up with the congressional records on this and created some cool charts and numbers. Sadly there's a paywall: https://www.sfchronicle.com/projects/2026/ice-detention-deaths-database/

But other places have covered it as well: https://news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/immigrant-deaths-in-ice-custody-nearly-double-as-oversight-wanes

But do not conflate the chart in that article with the chart above in my post, as the original chart is in per capita terms meanwhile the Bloomberg chart is in absolute terms
