White House Launches Aliens.gov Website to Track Undocumented Immigrants
The White House has introduced a new website, Aliens.gov, designed to track and report undocumented immigrants across the United States. The site features a live map for tracking arrests and a tip line for reporting 'suspicious aliens.' The website uses a sci-fi theme, with dark visuals and green fonts, and includes a ticker showing over 3.1 million 'encounters,' a term used by the Department of Homeland Security to include apprehensions and deportations. The launch of the site follows President Trump's ongoing immigration crackdown, which has led to increased arrests and confrontations. The White House defends the site as a necessary measure to highlight the risks posed by previous immigration policies.
