The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced the addition of 5,000 individuals to its “Worst of the Worst” online database, bringing the total number of criminal illegal aliens listed on WOW.DHS.gov to over 40,000. This expanded list includes individuals arrested across all 50 states for a range of serious offenses, such as homicide, rape, arson, and kidnapping. The website aims to provide transparency regarding individuals apprehended by DHS who have prior criminal histories and have been removed from communities.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The “Worst of the Worst” website, launched in December 2025, serves as a public repository for information on individuals arrested and removed from the United States. The database details the criminal backgrounds of those listed, which encompass a wide spectrum of felonies, including aggravated assault, fraud, and offenses against children. This initiative is part of the administration’s broader commitment to enforcing immigration laws.
Among the listed individuals are 60 individuals with arrest locations in Hagerstown, Maryland. These cases include charges such as aggravated assault, assault, gang activity, human trafficking, and other violent offenses. Nationally, the newly added offenders represent various countries of origin and have been linked to crimes including lewd acts with minors, drug trafficking, homicide, robbery, kidnapping, and sexual offenses.
The website allows the public to search through these records, providing insights into the criminal histories of individuals apprehended by DHS.
Due to the limited information available in the DHS website, we are unable to validate the arrest records of persons listed by DHS as being arrested in Hagerstown.
