The website, wow.dhs.gov, is intended to share with the public information on criminal illegal immigrants who have been taken into custody within the United States, oftentimes in sanctuary cities and states that refuse to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

McLaughlin added that the creation of the website was intended to bypass the media and share directly with the public how the federal government was going after illegal immigrants in the country.

Users can search the website for arrests by state, the country that the arrestee is originally from, and other information, such as crime or name.
