At least 89 Indian nationals have been included in a criminal database released by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which targets undocumented immigrants with serious criminal convictions.
WASHINGTON, DC—The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified at least 89 Indian nationals in its recently released “worst of the worst” criminal database. This database lists individuals arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) as part of the federal government’s intensified efforts to deport undocumented immigrants with criminal records.
According to the DHS, those named in the database have been convicted of a variety of serious offenses, including sexual assault, drug trafficking, domestic violence, robbery, fraud, and money laundering. The database can be accessed at wow.dhs.gov.
The DHS stated that the database reflects enforcement actions taken under Secretary Noem’s leadership and aligns with President Donald Trump’s priority of removing criminal undocumented immigrants from the United States. Recently, the department announced the addition of 5,000 profiles to the public portal, bringing the total number of individuals listed to 25,000. The DHS described the database as a “snapshot” of arrests made by ICE and CBP.
In an official statement, the DHS emphasized its commitment to removing individuals from the country, stating, “We are not stopping until every single one of these people are gone.” The department also noted that it is publicly identifying those arrested to ensure that Americans are aware of the work being conducted by federal officers. “Americans should not be victimized by people who aren’t even legally allowed to inhabit our nation,” the statement continued.
This release comes amid increased scrutiny of immigration enforcement operations. ICE and border agents have faced criticism following a recent crackdown in Minneapolis, which coincided with the deaths of two U.S. citizens, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Despite the backlash, the DHS maintains that its enforcement actions remain focused on individuals it categorizes as violent or repeat offenders residing illegally in the country.
The individuals listed in the database include:
Abdul Shaik, Kevin Ahir, Pankaj Bohra, Chintan Bhojak, Syed Bukhari, Bharatkumar Chaudhari, Kunal Chhetri, Anand Chokka, Danzel DSouza, Gagandeep Deol, Ashok Deshmukh, Brijesh Goel, Ritik Harma, Avanish Kumar Jha, Rajnish Kumar Jha, Ankit Kirtania, Ashok Kumar, Rajesh Kumar, Sushil Kumar, Manish Kumar, Sachin Kumar, Vidyut Luther, Dilraj Maan, Vijaydeep Singh Mandahar, Udit Mehra, Shubham Mittal, Shiba Momin, Irfanali Momin, Amandeep Multani, Avi Patel, Dilip Patel, Darshankumar Patel, Brijeshkumar Patel, Amit Patel, Nileshkumar Patel, Hardik Kumar Patel, Mayurkumar Patel, Yashkumar Patel, Gaurang Patel, Sagarkumar Patel, Jigar Patel, and Meet Patel.
