27 Ukrainians added to US "worst" list

Since October 1, 2023, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement database has been tracking the most dangerous criminals apprehended over the past 11 months. Among five thousand cases, 27 Ukrainian nationals have been categorized as the 'worst of the worst' foreign detainees. The list includes individuals accused of drug trafficking, sexual offenses, including those against minors, robberies, fraud, as well as human trafficking and slavery.

In addition to the above, the charges listed in the database include theft and violations of controlled substances laws, making Ukrainian nationals among the most serious cases for tracking within the international security system.

The published data enables law enforcement agencies to identify and dismantle criminal groups operating outside the United States. The 27 named Ukrainian nationals were deemed the most dangerous by the U.S. government in the current monitoring cycle.

ICE periodically updates this database, publishing reports publicly to strengthen international cooperation and protect public safety.
