The White House has unveiled a space-themed Aliens.gov site that mocks immigrants and compares them to extraterrestrials, claiming Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has arrested almost half a million people in nearly 12,000 US cities. In 715 locations, at least one of the arrestees is identified as an American-born citizen.

In more than one-fifth of these locations, no criminal charges are recorded. Puerto Rico, despite being an unincorporated territory of the US with its residents considered citizens, is listed separately on the site and marked among foreign countries from which arrestees came. Visitors to the site see a fake counter labeled ‘encounters’ that starts at 3,129,580 before gradually increasing.

The site includes information about alleged criminal offenses for each location. People in 3,159 locations are accused of 'Immigration,' while in 1,082 locations—including Chicago and Minneapolis—'Public Peace' is one of the crimes committed by arrestees, a category that includes unlawful assembly and disorderly conduct.

Despite the site’s xenophobic tone, it was originally registered by the White House in March. The initial data included non-immigration HSI arrests, which have since been updated to 270,214 fewer records. The Trump administration has repeatedly claimed ICE is targeting the 'worst of the worst,' but its own data contradicts this.
