The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has expanded its “Worst of the Worst” website, wow.dhs.gov, by adding 5,000 more names to a list now totaling over 15,000 criminal illegal aliens arrested in the past year. The website allows users to search for individuals by location and provides details on those who have been apprehended and removed from communities under President Donald Trump and Secretary Kristi Noem.
According to DHS, those listed on the site have criminal histories that include offenses such as terrorism, homicide, rape, kidnapping, robbery, and assault. The department plans to continue updating the site regularly.
Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin stated: “The new Worst of the Worst website is a valuable tool that lets Americans know which dangerous criminal illegal aliens the Trump Administration has removed from their communities. This new update represents just a small sample of the total number of arrests we’ve made – 70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens that have been charge or convicted of a crime in the United States.”
Examples highlighted by DHS include individuals with convictions ranging from rape with a weapon and kidnapping to terrorism and homicide. Arrests occurred across various states including Nevada, Arizona, West Virginia, Texas, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania.
The initiative has received praise from several members of Congress across different states.
