The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has launched a new database where the public can see the “worst of the worst” illegal migrants arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) – with 18 Britons featuring on the list.
The archive contains information on the crimes, location of arrest and the names of some of the worst illegal migrant offenders in the US.
According to DHS officials, the new database will give the public greater transparency and reduce reliance on establishment media for information on migrant crime.
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said: “This new worst of the worst webpage allows every American to see for themselves the criminal illegal aliens that we are arresting, what crimes they committed, and what communities we removed them from.

“This is all about transparency and showing results.
“As the media whitewashes the facts, day in and day out, our brave men and women of Ice risk their lives for the American people.
“Americans don’t have to rely on the press for this information – with this transparent tool, they can see for themselves what public safety threats were lurking in their neighbourhoods and communities.”
The 18 Britons listed have been arrested in all corners of the US for a host of different crimes.

US NEWS – READ THE LATEST:
Since Donald Trump retook office in January, the DHS has launched a number of “name-and-shame” campaigns.
In May, the department issued a comprehensive list of sanctuary jurisdictions, including cities, counties and states, which they accused of “deliberately obstructing the enforcement of federal immigration laws and endangering American citizens”.
It came after Mr Trump signed an executive order to allow Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem and the Attorney General Pam Bondi to identify and publicly highlight jurisdictions that refuse to co-operate with immigration authorities.
The list of uncooperative jurisdictions was made up entirely of Democrat-led states, including California, New York and Illinois, as well as major cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, Boston and Philadelphia.

The release of the new database comes after the President vowed to introduce a ban on “every country flooding US with killers, leeches and entitlement junkies”.
Mr Trump also pledged to “permanently pause migration” from all Third World countries, confirming immigrants who hail from 19 countries covered by his travel ban will have their cases re-examined.
The countries include Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, Haiti, Sudan, Yemen, Libya and Venezuela, among others.
Mr Trump announced a halt to all immigration from Afghanistan, including decisions on refugee status, after two National Guard troops were allegedly gunned down by a “radicalised” Afghan refugee in Washington DC.
