v1.0.0

ICE Detention Facilities Scraper - Initial Release 1.0.0.

ICE Detention Facilities Data Scraper and Enricher, a Python script managed by the Open Security Mapping Project.

In short this will help identify the online profile of each ICE detention 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 main purpose right now 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 CSV results change almost immediately.

You can also use --load-existing to leverage an existing scrape of the data from ICE.gov. This is stored in data_loader.py and includes the official current addresses of facilities. (Note ICE has been renaming known "detention center" sites to "processing center", and so on.)

Please see the README.md for additional information.
