The Department of Homeland Security has rolled out a new searchable website allowing Americans to see the names and faces of the “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens arrested across all 50 states since the start of the Trump administration.
Now, Americans from Springfield, Ohio to San Diego to Boston can learn the identities of some of the illegal aliens Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have detained in their community, and what convictions or criminal charges those individuals face.
“This new Worst of the Worst webpage allows every American to see for themselves the criminal illegal aliens that we are arresting, what crimes they committed, and what communities we removed them from,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin, said.
“This is all about transparency and showing results. As the media whitewashes the facts, day in and day out, our brave men and women of ICE risk their lives for the American people,” McLaughlin continued.
Through the “Worst of the Worst” webpage, McLaughlin says, “Americans don’t have to rely on the press for this information—with this transparent tool, they can see for themselves what public safety threats were lurking in their neighborhoods and communities.”
Of the illegal aliens ICE has arrested since the start of the Trump administration, 70% have either been charged with or convicted of a crime in the U.S., according to DHS.
The new platform features 10,000 “worst of the worst” criminal illegal aliens. The website will continue to be updated, according to DHS.
Since January, DHS reports nearly 600,00 illegal aliens have been arrested.
The rise in targeted immigration enforcement operations under the Trump administration has spurred opposition from some who oppose the enforcement of immigration laws. DHS reports there has been a 1,150% increase in violence against ICE agents since President Donald Trump took office.
Despite this opposition, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem says the Trump administration will continue to carry out arrests of illegal aliens across the U.S.
