White House launches website on immigrant arrests using extraterrestrial theme

The White House launched a website on May 28 that opens with statements about extraterrestrials living in neighborhoods before presenting data on immigrant arrests. The page displays more than 3 million encounters that continue to update and features an interactive map showing arrest numbers by city and state.

The site was first promoted in a May 28 social media post that included a video of a crop circle. Its domain was registered on March 17, 2026. A tip line on the page allows users to report encounters to immigration authorities.

Website content and language Scrolling further reveals a closing message that refers to reporting an "Alien abduction" and states authorities will return the individual to the place of origin. The page uses Immigration and Customs Enforcement data for its arrest statistics.

Immigrant rights groups have criticized the site for its use of the term "alien" and for framing immigration enforcement as an invasion. One organization stated the language dehumanizes migrants and treats enforcement actions as a game.

document releases Last month, officials indicated additional information on unidentified aerial phenomena would be released. The Department of War made a set of related documents public earlier this month. An author who reviewed those files said they aligned with previously released material.
