Update: The White House got back to us after publication to say it had updated the website to exclude a "handful" of arrests by Homeland Security Investigations. A review of the updated aliens.gov data shows they deleted 270,214 arrests.

NEW: A @wired.com analysis of the data pub'd by the White House's Aliens.gov and the site's code shows ICE arrested hundreds of US citizens and includes what appears to be a pirated version of the X-Files theme song. @regret.bsky.social & @dell.bsky.social w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/white-...
The website, which compares human beings to extraterrestrials, touts arrest numbers from the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown. But some of its details are really out there.
