About Ryan Grant

Veteran. Independent researcher. I don\'t take anyone\'s word for it. I pull original federal datasets, build my own models, and let the numbers speak for themselves. Currently using data science and investigative journalism to cut through the narratives around U.S. immigration visa programs, higher education fraud, and workforce policy. If it can\'t survive a FOIA request, it\'s probably not true.
