Washington, D.C. May 29, 2026 — The Trump administration unveiled a new White House website on May 28, 2026, styled as a declassified government dossier on extraterrestrials — but with a pointed twist: the “aliens” refer to undocumented immigrants.
The site, https://www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/, opens with dramatic Star Wars-style scrolling text against a starry background and the bold declaration: “THEY WALK AMONG US.” It describes how “aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods” for decades, before clarifying that these are not little green men but millions of illegal immigrants who “do not belong here.”
Key Features of the Site
- A live counter tracking immigration “encounters” (currently over 3.1 million).
- An interactive map showing ICE arrests nationwide.
- Statistics on deportations and removals.
- A tip line for reporting “suspicious aliens.”
- Declassified-style messaging tying the campaign to border security and public safety.
The White House promoted the launch with a short video featuring humorous CGI footage of a UFO-style abduction at the border, paired with the tagline “They walk among us.”
The official White House Rapid Response account (@RapidResponse47) amplified a Newsmax street interview with a Los Angeles resident who praised the site.
“https://www.whitehouse.gov/aliens/ shows people that ICE is doing the right thing by getting criminals out of their communities,” the resident said.
The video has drawn strong reactions online, with supporters hailing it as transparent accountability and critics calling the UFO framing overly theatrical or dehumanizing.
The cheeky extraterrestrial theme comes as the administration continues limited releases of UFO/UAP-related files, creating online buzz and confusion when the domain was first registered earlier this year.
White House officials frame Aliens.gov as a tool to highlight the scale of illegal immigration under previous policies and showcase ongoing ICE operations targeting criminals. As of late May 2026, the site reports hundreds of thousands of arrests and deportations since the start of the current administration.
The launch reflects the administration’s continued emphasis on border security and mass deportation efforts, packaged in a format designed to go viral. Whether the sci-fi aesthetic boosts engagement or sparks backlash remains to be seen, but it has already generated millions of views across platforms.
