The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has added 5,000 more names to its “Worst of the Worst” website, bringing the total number of listed criminal illegal aliens to 20,000. The site, available at wow.dhs.gov, allows users to search for individuals based on location, crime type, country of origin, and other criteria.
According to DHS, these 20,000 individuals represent only a portion of those removed from American communities under the Trump Administration. The list includes people with convictions for crimes such as gang activity, terrorism, homicide, rape, kidnapping, robbery, and assault. DHS states that the website will be updated regularly.
“Since its launch, the Worst of the Worst website has given Americans greater transparency into who the wicked and dangerous criminal illegal aliens DHS law enforcement has removed from their communities,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “To the open-borders and anti-ICE activists, would you like to have these murderers, rapists, gang members, pedophiles, and terrorists living next door? This update is just a fraction of who we have arrested—and who we will continue to lock up—under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem.”
Some recent examples provided by DHS include:
- Abdirashid Ibrahim from Somalia was convicted in Nashville for homicide and other violent crimes.
- Zakariya Abdi from Somalia was convicted in Minnesota for homicide and larceny.
- Ever Rodriguez-Mendoza from El Salvador is identified as an MS-13 member with convictions in Arkansas for assaulting a police officer and robbery.
- Yohenry Josue Betancourt Brito from Venezuela is linked to Tren de Aragua gang activity with convictions in New York City.
- Carlos Merlos Ortiz from El Salvador is associated with Inland Empire 13 gang and was convicted in Washington state for rape and impersonation.
- Nelson Ricardo Suarez from Cuba was convicted in Florida for sex offenses against a child and related crimes.
- Ghinh Nguyen from Vietnam faced multiple convictions including rape with a weapon in Massachusetts.
- Juan Perez-Barahona from Honduras was convicted in Connecticut for molestation and neglect of a child.
- Julio Lara-Avila from Mexico had convictions in Louisiana related to assault and cruelty toward a child.
DHS emphasizes that this initiative is intended to increase public awareness about criminal illegal aliens who have been removed due to their offenses.
