The Department of Homeland Security said Tuesday it has added 5,000 more criminal undocumented immigrants to its “Worst of the Worst” website, bringing the total number of arrests displayed on the site to more than 40,000 nationwide. The database, which was launched Dec. 8, 2025, is intended to highlight individuals arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement across the country, according to a DHS news release.
Among the most recently added entries are three Nepali nationals. Those added to the list include Shankar Karki of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Tanka Parajuli of Dallas, Texas; and Prasiddha Baruwal of Bridgewater, Massachusetts. According to the DHS website, Karki is listed on fraud-related charges, Parajuli on dangerous drug charges, and Baruwal on arson of a public building and robbery-related charges.
The site also includes seven other Nepali nationals arrested in various states in previous updates, DHS materials show. The entries list Rikesh Thapa of Oakdale, Louisiana, on wire fraud charges; Nabin Shah of Fort Worth, Texas, on fraud, assault and larceny-related charges; Tekan Kandel of Greeley, Colorado, on false imprisonment of a minor and sexual exploitation charges; Ratul Singh of Dallas, on robbery charges; Sayanam Ghimire of Elmhurst, New York, on sex assault charges; Anil Pantha of Dallas, on enticement of a minor through telecommunications; and Santosh Darjee of Phoenix, on drug, identity theft and vehicle theft charges.
In a statement, DHS Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said the latest additions include “murderers, pedophiles, rapists, arsonists, drug traffickers, kidnappers, violent assailants and gang members.” She said the Trump administration remains focused on transparency and on arresting and deporting people in the country illegally.
The agency said the website allows visitors to search through a portion of the people arrested in all 50 states. Criminal histories listed on the site include homicide, arson, rape, molestation of a minor, burglary, terroristic threats, armed robbery, kidnapping, assault, fraud and larceny, according to DHS.
The “Worst of the Worst” website was created to provide public access to information about criminal undocumented immigrants arrested during the Trump administration’s enforcement campaign, the department has said. DHS noted that the site displays only a subset of the hundreds of thousands of individuals arrested nationwide and that it will continue to be updated with additional cases.
