The White House Just Launched a UFO-Themed Website. The “Aliens” Were Never From Space.
On May 28, 2026, the Trump White House launched Aliens.gov— a landing page styled like a 1950s UFO-sighting poster, complete with a “THEY WALK AMONG US” headline and copy reading “For 60 years, the U.S. government has kept a closely guarded secret. Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives.”
The reveal was not extraterrestrial. Aliens.gov redirects to whitehouse.gov/aliens — a live ICE enforcement dashboard displaying real-time arrest data across the United States, a searchable database of migrant detainees by city, state, and alleged crime, and a counter showing more than 3 million migrant encounters logged during the Biden administration.
The closing call-to-action on the official government page: “President Trump told the truth. The cover-up is over. Secure the border. Deport them all.”

The White House launched Aliens.gov on May 28, 2026 — a URL designed to bait click-through from users expecting a UAP/UFO-disclosure announcement. The redirect lands on the official whitehouse.gov/aliens page, which opens with copy styled after vintage science-fiction movie posters:
“For 60 years, the U.S. government has kept a closely guarded secret. 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.”

The page then resolves to a live enforcement dashboard. Features confirmed at launch:
Live Arrest Map: An interactive U.S. heat map showing ICE arrests by location, updated in real time with arrest density by region.
Searchable Database: Search by city, state, or alleged crime. Each entry shows arrest date, criminal charges, country of origin, and suspected gang affiliations (including MS-13 and Tren de Aragua).
3M+ Encounter Counter: Running counter displaying the cumulative total of migrant encounters logged during the Biden administration — the framing positions this as the legacy problem being addressed.
ICE Tip Line: A mechanism for the public to report suspected illegal aliens to ICE.
White House App Integration: Data also accessible via the official White House app on iOS and Android.
Video: A short video on the page showed a spacecraft removing a figure across a border wall — science-fiction imagery deployed as a visual metaphor for deportation.
An unnamed White House official told Fox News reporter Ashley J. DiMella, who broke the story exclusively: “This is a first of its kind effort to draw eyeballs to the fact that the previous administration’s porous border didn’t just put families in border states at risk — many across the country were in harm’s way.”
The Aliens.gov dashboard is built on real enforcement data. The comparison between the Biden and Trump immigration enforcement postures is documented across DHS, the Migration Policy Institute, and the Deportation Data Project:
Biden peak encounters: CBP recorded 2.1 million migrant encounters in a single fiscal year. USBP daily average at the southwest border: 5,110/day.
Trump FY 2025 encounters: CBP recorded 444,000 total — a 79% reduction from the Biden peak. USBP daily average: 251/day, down 95% from Biden peak.
ICE arrests: Quadrupled (4.4×) from Biden H2 2024 to January 2026 under Trump. Border Czar Tom Homan stated publicly: encounters are at “the lowest number EVER recorded.”
Detention capacity: ICE detention beds more than quadrupled — from approximately 14,000 (Biden H2 2024) to approximately 57,000 (January 2026).
Criminal illegal aliens: DHS’s WOW.DHS.GOV (Walk of Wrath) database, the predecessor to Aliens.gov’s searchable feature, documented criminal histories including murder, rape, forcible sodomy, drug trafficking, and racketeering. DHS/White House claim: roughly 70% of detained aliens have criminal histories. Independent TRAC analysis (October 2025): 31% had a criminal conviction in that specific two-week window — contested, methodology-dependent.
The 3 million encounter counter on the Aliens.gov page refers to the cumulative Biden-era total — not a current ongoing figure. The framing is intentional: every encounter during the Biden years is positioned as a record of a policy failure that the Trump administration is now documenting and reversing.
THEY WALK AMONG US. They weren't little green men. For 60 years, the U.S. government kept a secret. Aliens have been living in our neighborhoods, shopping in our stores, attending school with our children. The cover-up is over. Secure the border. Deport them all. → aliens.gov
The American people deserve to know the truth about who was allowed into this country during the Biden years. Aliens.gov is transparency in action. Every family affected by a crime committed by someone who should have been deported deserves to see this data.
The Aliens.gov URL and UFO-movie-poster styling were deliberate. The Trump administration has simultaneously pursued genuine UAP/UFO disclosure — the PURSUE initiative (launched via Trump Truth Social Feb. 19, 2026) released 162 government files in Batch 1 (May 8) and 64 more in Batch 2 (May 22), including F-16 infrared footage from Lake Huron. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman(Trump appointee) stated publicly: “What’s being surfaced isn’t crashed ships or alien bodies, but real unexplained phenomena.”
Critics who expected a UFO disclosure announcement were redirected to an immigration enforcement database. Social media reaction ranged from calls of “fascist garbage” from critics, to supporters describing it as the administration “finally making the data public.” The political intent is transparent: by co-opting the UAP/UFO cultural moment and its built-in viral reach, the White House guaranteed that immigration enforcement data would land in front of audiences who might not otherwise seek it out.
The radical left let millions of people pour into our country — many of them with serious criminal records — and they didn't tell you about it. We are telling you. Every arrest, every crime, every name. Transparency. That's what Aliens.gov is all about. The American people have a right to know who is living in their neighborhoods.

They walked among us. The previous administration knew. They chose not to tell you. President Trump is ending the cover-up. Secure the border. Deport them all.

The Aliens.gov searchable database is real. It is built on ICE enforcement data that has been publicly available in aggregate form through DHS, FOIA requests, and the TRAC immigration database at Syracuse University. What is new is the presentation: a consumer-facing, interactive map and searchable interface that lets any resident of any zip code look up ICE arrests in their area, the charges involved, and the countries of origin.
The DHS “Walk of Wrath” database (WOW.DHS.GOV), launched in January 2026 and seeded with 5,000 documented criminal illegal aliens, was a precursor. The DHS recap published on the first anniversary of Trump’s return documented cases including murder, rape, forcible sodomy, drug trafficking, racketeering, and gang membership (MS-13, Tren de Aragua). Aliens.gov extends that disclosure to a live, searchable format updated on a rolling basis.
What the database does not do: independently adjudicate guilt. Entries show charges and alleged gang affiliations, not convictions. The site does not provide a comparison baseline from prior administrations — it presents Trump-era enforcement data without the full Biden-era enforcement record for direct comparison. These are the limits any reader should apply.
The Trump White House used a UFO-movie aesthetic to deliver a real immigration enforcement database. The 3 million encounter counter reflects a documented Biden-era policy record. The live ICE arrest map and searchable database are built on real DHS data. Whether you call it transparency or theater depends on your politics. The numbers are real either way.
