The Trump administration launched a new website called Aliens.gov, which initially sparked speculation about extraterrestrial life, but actually tracks illegal immigrant arrests and immigration enforcement operations.
The website features a space-themed design, with a Star Wars-inspired crawl and a heat map of the US displaying immigration arrest statistics.
The site claims that 'aliens' have been living among Americans for 60 years, but actually refers to undocumented immigrants.
The website displays a ticker showing 3.1 million alleged 'encounters' and allows users to look up information about arrests in specific cities and states.
A link to report 'suspicious aliens' is also included, sparking concerns about xenophobia and misinformation.
