White House Launches Aliens.Gov to Track Illegal Alien Arrests
The Trump administration launched aliens.gov, a public database mapping ICE arrests of illegal immigrants across the U.S., showing data from criminal records to gang affiliations.
The website, aliens.gov, uses imagery and themes related to extraterrestrial life before revealing detailed arrest data organized by geographic location, according to Breitbart News. The interactive map displays the number of ICE arrests in each area, alongside information about the national origins of those detained, their criminal convictions, and any gang affiliations.
Data on the site ranges from high-activity enforcement zones to areas with minimal arrests. Dallas, Texas appears as one of the most active regions, with more than 17,000 illegal aliens arrested since President Donald Trump began his second term. By contrast, Burlington, Vermont has recorded just 20 arrests over the past year.
The new portal builds on existing transparency initiatives launched by the administration. The Department of Homeland Security introduced wow.dhs.gov last year, a database aggregating information on illegal aliens apprehended by ICE agents, including arrest locations, criminal records, and the names of those detained.
A DHS spokeswoman explained the rationale behind these public-facing tools at the time of the earlier launch, stating that the platform allows every American to see the criminal illegal aliens being arrested, their offenses, and the communities from which they were removed, emphasizing transparency and documented results.
Current research estimates place the illegal alien population living in the United States between 11 and 22 million, though some analysts believe the actual figure may be significantly higher.
