Immigration New Zealand profiles overstayers using predictive data model

In April 2018 reporting revealed Immigration New Zealand had been piloting a data‑modelling programme that used historical demographic and outcome data to build risk profiles of overstayers. Officials described it as a pilot to prioritise cases likely to cause 'harm,' while critics alleged it enabled racial profiling and lacked adequate oversight. The disclosure prompted public debate and scrutiny over the fairness of automated profiling in immigration enforcement.
