Exclusive: DHS admits its website showcasing the ‘worst of the worst’ immigrants was rife with errors
DHS acknowledged a glitch caused errors in about 5% of 25,000 entries on its 'Worst of the Worst' immigrant arrests website, prompting corrections after CNN's review.
- On Thursday, the Department of Homeland Security admitted that hundreds of charges on its `Worst of the Worst` website were described incorrectly after CNN questioned it; the site lists about 25,000 people and was created in December.

- Given the country breakdown, critics say the share of violent offenders is smaller than DHS presents, which could mislead public perception and enforcement justification.
