The Department of Homeland Security has expanded its public database of criminal illegal aliens, adding 5,000 new entries to its Worst of the Worst list and pushing the total number of identified offenders to more than 35,000.
Launched on December 8, 2025, the WOW (Worst of the Worst) website catalogs criminal aliens arrested across all 50 states and is designed to highlight the scale of the threat posed by those who violate both immigration and criminal laws. According to The Post Millennial, the initiative reflects a core mission of DHS: to identify, detain, and remove criminal illegal aliens from the United States as part of a broader push to restore law and order at the border and in American communities.
To continue the Trump Administrations mission of transparency with the American people, has added another 5,000 criminal illegal aliens to the Worst of the Worst website, said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. With this webpage, the American people can search through the criminals that weve arrested in their communities.
The database details a wide range of serious offenses, underscoring the public-safety rationale behind strict immigration enforcement. Criminal illegal aliens arrested by ICE include murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and gang members. If you see an ICE law enforcement officer, thank them for removing these thugs from your neighborhoods.
The criminal records listed on the site span homicide, sex offenses against children, driving under the influence, aggravated assault, hit-and-run offenses, drug possession, and arson, among others. This renewed transparency comes as President Trumps efforts to enforce federal border and immigration law face escalating attacks from the left and from open-borders activists.
As anti-ICE protests intensify in places like Newark, New Jersey, the administration has warned that the climate of hostility is emboldening those who would target federal officers. While sanctuary politicians continue to smear ICE law enforcement, our officers continue to put their lives on the line to make America safe again. Yesterday, our law enforcement arrested murderers, pedophiles, and robbers, said Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis.
She further emphasized the growing danger to frontline agents tasked with removing violent offenders from American streets. As our officers arrest the worst of the worst, they are facing coordinated campaigns of violence against them, including a more than 1,300% increase in assaults against them and an 8,000% increase in death threats.
The expansion of the WOW database is part of a deliberate strategy by DHS to publicize immigration enforcement and expose the real-world consequences of lax border policies championed by sanctuary jurisdictions. Trump administration officials maintain that shining a light on these criminal records not only validates the work of ICE officers but also affirms the federal governments duty to prioritize the safety of law-abiding citizens over the demands of radical, anti-enforcement activists.
