What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Worst of the Worst Act," directs the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a public database. This database would track information regarding criminal aliens who are released from custody. The Secretary, through the Director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, would be responsible for creating and maintaining this tool. The database must include specific identifying details and be made available to the public. It also requires the database to have specific search capabilities.

Yes

  • Does this make what the government does easier for the public to see?+7

    The bill mandates the creation of a publicly accessible database containing identifying information of released criminal aliens.

    The bill enhances transparency and public awareness regarding the release of criminal aliens from custody.

The opposite

  • Would immigrants be better off under this?-6

    The mandate for a public database tracking personal identifiers of released aliens increases potential targeting and social stigma for immigrants.

  • Does this make it easier for immigrants already here to become citizens?-5

    The creation of a public database focusing on criminal aliens may increase scrutiny and public sentiment against immigrant populations.

  • Would Hispanic Americans be better off under this?-4

    The database specifically targets 'criminal aliens,' a category that disproportionately affects Hispanic communities.
