At least 15 Kenyans have been listed among the 'worst of the worst' illegal aliens with serious criminal convictions by the US Department of Homeland Security. The list displays identities of criminal illegal immigrants arrested since President Donald Trump took office. Many are linked to offenses such as assault and robbery.
The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) launched a webpage on Monday, December 8, displaying details of criminal illegal immigrants with severe records. The site allows searches for hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants arrested across all 50 US states. Over 10,000 such arrests are featured, with the list set for frequent updates.
Among those listed are 15 Kenyans, most accused of assault offenses. Other charges against them include aggravated assault with a weapon, possession of stolen property, threats of terroristic offenses, simple assault, money laundering, and check forgery. They also face allegations of driving under the influence, domestic violence, robbery, resisting arrest to avoid prosecution, fraud, kidnapping a minor, violating a court order, and receiving stolen property.
This development occurs amid a stringent crackdown on undocumented individuals under the Trump administration. The US government introduced a self-deportation app in March and has ramped up immigration and customs enforcement. On November 28, Trump announced plans for a broad freeze on immigration from third-world countries, particularly several African nations.
DHS describes the 'worst of the worst' as criminal illegal aliens with serious convictions, encompassing homicide, assault, rape, drug trafficking, child molestation, and armed robbery.
