For this report, Human Rights Watch and the Drug Policy Alliance consulted with or interviewed 42 immigration and drug policy experts, advocates, attorneys, and immigrants and their family members, including 14 directly impacted immigrants facing consequences under federal immigration law due to drug-related conduct. Interviewees were provided the opportunity to provide information anonymously or using a pseudonym. Interviewees were not compensated for providing information for this report.
The report also contains descriptive statistical analysis of data from several sources. Data on deportations, including the most serious criminal conviction on file, was provided to Human Rights Watch by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse (TRAC) at Syracuse University at a time when Human Rights Watch staff acted as a TRAC Fellow of the Center.
