The United States Department of Homeland Security has unveiled a new public portal called “Worst of the Worst” that displays information about “criminal illegal aliens” who have faced arrest and conviction, the agency has announced.
According to details available on the portal, it features names, photographs, criminal charges, and nationalities of those convicted. Currently, 89 Indian nationals appear on the website.
The Department of Homeland Security announced the portal’s launch on social media, stating, “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 begins with an introductory statement that reads, “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.”
Users can navigate the platform through search options marked “Search Terms”, “Country of Origin”, and “State”, allowing queries based on name, nationality, or geographic location.
Based on the entries, Indian nationals featured on the portal have been arrested and convicted for various crimes including sexual offence, rape, drug trafficking, larceny, DUI, hit and run, smuggling, fraud, robbery, assault, kidnap, money laundering, drug possession and domestic violence. As of publication, only one listed individual was convicted of homicide.

Speaking about the new 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.”
