The Trump administration has deleted or altered nearly 400 federal datasets on topics ranging from health to education. The removals are jeopardizing public access to critical research and environmental data.
Federal agencies have deleted or substantially altered roughly 400 datasets covering health, education, environmental monitoring, and other research areas. The removals block public access to critical information that researchers, journalists, and policymakers typically rely on.
This goes beyond policy disagreement. Deleting datasets destroys the historical record and prevents independent analysis of government performance. It's different from classifying information or restricting access—it's erasing data that was already public. The scale (nearly 400 datasets) indicates this is coordinated, not accidental.
