Overview
- DHS launched the “Worst of the Worst” site in December 2025, publishing profile cards with names, photos, arrest locations and alleged charges labeled as ICE priorities.
- Coverage on January 19 identifies nine Argentina-born individuals on the site with alleged offenses ranging from traffic violations to sexual crimes, including one case already deported in August 2025.
- The listed arrests span locations such as Las Vegas, Conroe in Texas, Maine, Indiana, Florida, Oakdale in Louisiana and New York, according to the profiles.
- DHS official Tricia McLaughlin described the page as a transparency effort that shows who ICE arrests and from which communities.
- Human-rights organizations criticized the initiative and pointed to renewed protests after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
