Trump's week in review: White House defends Marty Makary, DOJ sues Minneapolis Public Schools
2. DHS launches website to watch arrests of criminal illegals
In a statement published Monday, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that it had launched a new webpage designed to spotlight the “Worst of the Worst” illegal aliens captured by the Trump administration during its immigration enforcement actions this year. Illegal aliens featured in the database include those arrested for crimes such as “homicide, assault, rape, drug trafficking, child molestation, cruelty toward a child, battery, and armed robbery.”
“The 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. This is all about transparency and showing results,” said DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “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 expressed gratitude that “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.”
A quick look at the new webpage reveals that nearly 10,000 criminal illegal aliens are included in the database as of Friday morning.
The database enables users to search for illegal aliens by country of origin and the state they were apprehended in. The webpage begins with the most recent criminal illegal alien arrests, which took place this week, and includes more than 800 pages of names.
