DHS Concedes Glitches Skewed 'Worst of the Worst' Immigrant List, CNN Finds

DHS acknowledged that its 'worst of the worst' immigrant website contained inaccuracies due to a glitch, affecting about 5% of entries and prompting a fix; CNN’s review found people listed as convicted of or arrested for serious crimes were described for far less serious offenses, including traffic violations and illegal reentry; critics, including Minnesota officials, argued the public messaging inflated arrest numbers and resembled propaganda; the piece also notes how large detention centers in small cities can drive counts, complicating verification.
