Take me to your sanctuary city.
The White House unveiled “Aliens.gov” Thursday, a cheeky new website focused on illegal migrant arrest data – and not UFO disclosure.
The eyebrow-raising domain name sparked a firestorm of online speculation when the federal government registered it in March, about a month after President Trump pledged his administration would release secret files related to UFOs and extraterrestrials.
“They walk among us,” reads the green banner at the top of the hacker-style website, which clearly plays off the recent UFO mania.
“For 60 years, the US government has kept a closely guarded secret,” the slowly materializing text below the banner reads. “Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives.”
“They’ve shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences. With one exception — they do not belong here,” it continues.
Below the text is a live ticker counting federal law enforcement “encounters” with illegal migrants, and a heat map tracking Immigration and Custom Enforcement’s (ICE) “alien arrests.”
Users can zoom in to different cities and states on the map to get a better picture of the migrants being arrested.
The website highlights the total arrests, dates of arrest, criminal charges, countries of origin and suspected gang affiliations of migrants taken into custody by ICE under Trump.
A large red link to an ICE tip line at the bottom of the page encourages users to “report suspicious aliens.”
The website accuses “countless presidents, congressmen, and senior officials” of covering up the “invasion.”
Meanwhile, Trump is credited as the “one man [who] finally had the courage to tell the truth.”
“President Trump was the first to call out the real danger Aliens pose to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation,” the website states.
“The truth is no longer out there. It is right here. Right now.”
