Over the past year and a half, at least 28 federal datasets have been deleted and another 338 data collections have been modified, part of the Trump administration's aggressive campaign to wipe all mentions of data findings that do not align with the president's priorities.

An online tracker from dataindex.us, a group that formed last year to monitor changes to government data, includes detailed information about deleted or altered datasets from more than 60 federal agencies that span the environment, labor, law enforcement and other topics.

Datasets on health appear to be the most affected by the Trump administration’s crackdown, comprising about 40% of the total number of terminated or altered data collections tracked by dataindex.us.
