The White House has launched a new webpage that uses extraterrestrial imagery to target immigrants, drawing widespread condemnation from critics who call it "disgraceful" and "dehumanizing."
Cryptic Teases and an Alien Website
The White House spent part of the day teasing an announcement on social media platform X, posting cryptic messages before unveiling a website called Aliens.gov. A video shared alongside the announcement shows an alien spacecraft beaming a person from one side of what appears to be the U.S.-Mexico border fence, carrying them over, and dropping them on the other side. The video is set to The Village People's "Y.M.C.A.," a favorite song of President Donald Trump.
"They walk among us," the White House captioned the clip, directing users to the new website.
Website Content
The homepage reads: "THEY WALK AMONG US. For 60 years, the U.S. government has kept a closely guarded secret. Aliens have been walking among us, living in our neighborhoods, and interacting with us in our daily lives. They've shopped in the same stores, attended the same classes as our children, and lived seemingly normal human existences. With one exception — they do not belong here. Millions arrived under the cover of darkness and embedded themselves directly into our society. Countless presidents, congressmen, and senior officials knew exactly what was happening. Instead of protecting American citizens, they chose to cover it up and even accelerate the invasion. Until one man finally had the courage to tell the truth. Bold. Unapologetic. Unafraid. President Trump was the first to call out the real danger Aliens pose to every American family, every community, and the future of our nation. The truth is no longer out there. It is right here. Right now."
A separate section states: "If you've witnessed an Alien abduction, do not be alarmed. The Alien is in good hands. We will take care of it… and return it safely to its place of origin."
A mock "classified addendum" reads: "THEY WEREN'T LITTLE GREEN MEN. These 'Aliens' are the millions of ILLEGALS who invaded our country under the cover of darkness. President Trump told the truth. The cover-up is over. Secure the border. Deport them all."
The page also features a live "Alien Arrest Map" tracker, lists detailing how many people have been detained in each city and the reason why, and a link to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement tip line to report "suspicious aliens."
Reactions
Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont (D) slammed the post, responding: "Still looking for intelligent life in the White House."
Others suggested the move was an attempt to distract from the Epstein Files, documents related to late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a onetime close associate of President Trump. Social media users expressed outrage, with one calling it "disgraceful" and "dehumanizing," while another said: "You're all fucking assholes who dehumanize immigrants and use the UAP issue to push fascist garbage." Another user commented: "This is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. Fear mongering mixed with engagement baiting. Administration's biggest smear is the Epstein files and these losers are trying to distract you with 'aliens.'"
The webpage has been widely criticized as a dehumanizing tactic that equates immigrants with extraterrestrials, drawing sharp rebukes from political figures and the public alike.
