Are deportation records public information?

Question

Does anyone know if deportation records are available to the public? Is it possible to get a big list of people who were deported or something like that (ie could you ask for like all the people deported back to a certain country or within a time period)? Can you get information about a specific person and see if they were deported?

What are the privacy laws on that sort of information?

Answer 1

Sorry, you can get number totals, but not specific names.

Answer 2

No, they're basically considered private, law enforcement sensitive information.
