DHS: Illegal Alien Led Foiled White House UFC Terror Plot

The White House video featuring a flying saucer and border fence quickly sparked outrage online.

The White House launched aliens.gov, a space-themed site with live illegal immigrant arrest data, ICE heat maps and a tip line to report aliens.

The White House turned a legal term into a science-fiction spectacle. The real story is not the theatrics. It is how language moves an audience from watching to acting.

On Thursday, the White House posted several cryptic videos on social media that teased an upcoming announcement connected to an “aliens.gov” web address. The videos, featuring imagery such as crop circles and UFOs, initially seemed to be indicating some announcement or revelation concerning extraterrestrial life.

The White House is mocking the idea of the U.S. retaining secrets involving alien encounters by launching a space-themed website that touts the arrests of immigrants unauthorized to live in the U.S. The website,

The site compares undocumented immigrants to extraterrestrials, refers to people as "it," and says "they do not belong here."

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.

The website says Trump was the first U.S. president to "call out the real danger aliens pose to every American family."

The White House on Thursday launched a UFO-themed immigration enforcement website that initially appeared to focus on aliens.

The White House launched a website teasing new information on extraterrestrials this week, but it actually delivers immigrant arrest data.

The alleged “ringleader” of the explosive drone attack plot against the UFC event at the White House is an illegal immigrant from Mexico, the Department of Homeland Security said.
