The US Department of Homeland Security has launched a new website titled The Worst of the Worst, designed to publicly highlight detailed information about undocumented migrants accused of serious crimes.
In a statement published on its official site, the department said the platform aims to spotlight the most dangerous foreign offenders apprehended by US authorities.
The initiative is part of President Donald Trump’s broader pledge to carry out large-scale deportation operations.
The department noted that, under the leadership of Secretary Kristi Noem, federal personnel are moving forward with the administration’s plan to prioritize the removal of the most serious criminal offenders.
According to Homeland Security, 70 percent of arrests made by Immigration and Customs Enforcement involve undocumented migrants who are charged with or convicted of crimes committed inside the United States. This figure does not include foreign fugitives, gang members, individuals linked to terrorism, or human rights violators.
Deputy Secretary Tricia MacLaughlin said the new platform enables the public to view which undocumented offenders have been arrested, the crimes they are accused of, and the communities from which they were removed. She emphasized that the initiative is intended to provide transparency and measurable results.
MacLaughlin added that while media outlets often soften or omit critical details, immigration officers continue to risk their lives to protect the American public, and citizens no longer need to rely on press coverage to access this information.
The department stated that the launch of the platform comes amid resistance from leaders of sanctuary cities and states who refuse to cooperate with federal immigration authorities on detention requests. It also follows sustained media criticism of immigration enforcement operations.
President Trump previously announced during his inaugural address on January 20 his intention to immediately halt the flow of undocumented migrants and begin the removal of millions of people. He later declared a national emergency along the southern border to support these efforts.
