The United States Department of Homeland Security has launched a new website titled “Worst of the Worst” that publicly lists “criminal illegal aliens” who have been arrested and convicted, according to an announcement by the agency.

As per the information available on the website, the list includes names, photographs, crimes and nationalities of convicted individuals. At present, 89 Indian nationals feature on the site.

Announcing the launch on social media, the Department of Homeland Security said, “DHS has launched http://WOW.DHS.GOV so Americans can see the criminal illegal aliens we are arresting, their crimes, and the communities we removed them from. Yesterday, @ICEgov arrested more murderers, sex offenders, and drug traffickers from American communities,” the agency tweeted.

The website opens with a brief note stating, “Arrested:Worst of the Worst. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is highlighting the worst of worst criminal aliens arrested by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Under Secretary Noem's leadership, the hardworking men and women of DHS and ICE are fulfilling President Trump's promise and carrying out mass deportations - starting with the worst of the worst - including the illegal aliens you see here.”

The portal allows users to search for individuals using search boxes labelled “Search Terms”, “Country of Origin”, and “State”, enabling searches by name, nationality or location.

According to the listings, Indian nationals on the website have been arrested and convicted for a range of offences including sexual offence, rape, drug trafficking, larceny, DUI, hit and run, smuggling, fraud, robbery, assault, kidnap, money laundering, drug possession and domestic violence. At the time of publication, only one individual listed was convicted of homicide.

Commenting on the initiative, Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said, “President Trump and Secretary Noem understand that when it comes to illegal alien crime, every state is a border state. That’s why DHS is making it even easier for users to search by state on our new 'Worst of the Worst' website, offering the American people even greater transparency to see the criminals law enforcement are removing from their community.”

She added, “The Trump administration is removing murderers, pedophiles, terrorists, and other criminals from communities across the country. Our message is clear: we will protect the American people no matter where they live.”
