The Department of Homeland Security’s “Worst of the Worst†website is growing.
DHS has added the names, photos, and criminal backgrounds of an additional 5,000 illegal aliens to the searchable platform, bringing the number of listed criminals to 15,000.
“This new update represents just a small sample of the total number of arrests we’ve made—70% of ICE arrests are of criminal illegal aliens that have been charge or convicted of a crime in the United States,†DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said.
The website is searchable by state and city, providing Americans with the knowledge of “which dangerous criminal illegal aliens the Trump administration has removed from their communities,†McLaughlin said.
DHS first rolled out the new website in early December and announced plans to continue adding the identities of arrested criminal illegal aliens to the website over time. The platform does not include every arrest Immigration and Customs Enforcement has made but aims to inform the American people of the “worst of the worst†criminals now in custody or deported. Â
The criminal histories of those listed on the website include terrorism, rape, homicide, assault, kidnapping, and robbery.
New additions to the website include Mexican national Oscar Chan who was arrested in Reno, Nevada and has multiple criminal convictions, including kidnapping, sexual assault, and rape with a weapon. Â
Cuban Luis Iglesias Martinez was arrested in Dallas, Texas. He has criminal convictions for homicide and aggravated assault. Â
Alexandr Remorenko is a criminal illegal alien from Russia who was arrested in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania and has a long list of criminal convictions, including rape, sexual assault, incest with a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor, sodomy, aggravated assault, enticement of minor for indecent purposes, and contributing to delinquency of minor.
Multiple lawmakers have drawn attention to the new “Worst of the Worst†website and are using the platform to highlight the criminal illegal aliens who have been removed from their communities under the Trump administration.
Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala., for example, is daily “highlighting a dangerous illegal in Alabama who has been arrested and convicted.â€
Since January, DHS reports over 600,00 illegal aliens have been arrested.
