The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the addition of another 5,000 criminal illegal aliens to its “Worst of the Worst” (WOW) website, WOW.DHS.gov, bringing the total number displayed on the site to more than 35,000. This update continues the Trump Administration’s initiative to increase transparency regarding individuals arrested across the country.
Launched on December 8, 2025, the WOW website allows the public to search through a database of dangerous criminal illegal aliens apprehended in all 50 states. Their documented criminal histories include serious offenses such as homicide, sex offenses against children, driving under the influence, aggravated assault, hit and run, drug possession, and arson.
Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis emphasized the administration's commitment, saying, “To continue the Trump Administration’s mission of transparency with the American people, DHS has added another 5,000 criminal illegal aliens to the Worst of the Worst website.” Bis added, “With this webpage, the American people can search through the criminals that we’ve arrested in their communities. 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.”
Among the newly added individuals are Santos Archaga Mendoza from Honduras, whose history includes negligent manslaughter, and Reiniel Parajon Gomez from Cuba, with a record of cruelty toward a child and sex offense against a child. Other examples include Omar Martinez-Reyna from Mexico, with sex assault and failure to register as a sex offender, and Sribounthai Keopanya from Laos, whose history includes robbery, arson, and aggravated assault with a gun.
