The United States Department of Homeland Security announced on July 28 the addition of 5,000 more criminal illegal aliens to its ‘Worst of the Worst’ website, WOW.DHS.gov. The site now displays information on more than 40,000 criminal illegal aliens who have been arrested and removed from communities across the country.
The WOW website was launched on December 8, 2025. It allows visitors to search through hundreds of thousands of dangerous criminals who have been arrested in all 50 states. According to DHS, those listed have criminal histories that include homicide, arson, rape, molestation of a minor, burglary, terroristic threats, armed robbery, kidnapping, assault, fraud, and larceny.
“DHS has added another 5,000 criminal illegal aliens to our Worst of the Worst website, including murderers, pedophiles, rapists, arsonists, drug traffickers, kidnappers, violent assailants and gang members,” said Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “This website now displays more than 40,000 criminals that we’ve removed from communities across the country. The Trump Administration is more committed than ever before to transparency as we deliver on the American people’s mandate to arrest and deport illegal aliens from our country.”
Some examples provided by DHS include Ricardo Iglesias Martinez from Cuba and a Surenos gang member arrested in Los Angeles with convictions for lewd acts with a minor and homicide; Oreneile Masaka from Botswana arrested in Atlanta for homicide and robbery; Maria Arreola Rivera from Mexico arrested in Illinois for homicide and arson; Lionel Boursiquot from Haiti arrested in Florida for multiple homicides and kidnapping; among others listed by name with details about their arrests and offenses.
The department highlighted individuals representing a range of nationalities including El Salvadoran gang members convicted of burglary or assault; Guatemalan nationals charged with sex offenses against minors; Vietnamese nationals convicted for rape or molestation; as well as individuals from countries such as South Sudan and Cameroon facing charges related to kidnapping or fraud.
The agency said it will continue updating WOW.DHS.gov as new cases are processed.
