Introduction

Data have progressively become a crucial instrument in the governance of mobility, and of migration in particular. Extensive and pervasive data collection on migrants’ identities, trajectories, statuses, legal and criminal records are depicted as a technocratic response to the call for greater transparency, accountability, evidence-based, unbiased governance of migration. As a result, increasingly sophisticated assemblages of human and digital technologies are deployed across borderlands and migration routes by a plethora of institutions transnationally entangled, including international organization, law enforcement agencies, and humanitarian actors.
Enumerators, sensors, cameras and drones to patrol frontier areas and biometric border checkpoints are only a few examples of data collection activities in the migration governance. Data-driven technological devices can perform several tasks in this sense, including identity checks at the frontiers or timely detections of irregular cross-border movements.
