DHS Blasts Biden After Bombshell Report on Millions of Visa Overstays

ICE investigated 496 of 104,000 flagged overstay leads and made 8 arrests, according to a DHS watchdog report.

  • A new DHS Office of Inspector General report found the administration of President Joe Biden took almost no enforcement action against visa overstays from 2021-2024, despite receiving more than 3.1 million nonimmigrant overstay leads.
  • ICE categorized about 104,000 of those leads as potential national security or public safety threats, yet investigated only 496 cases, which led to eight arrests during the four-year period.
  • Mark Krikorian, executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies, told The National News Desk on Wednesday that ICE investigated only 5% of nearly 1,800 priority 1 leads.
  • DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin told Fox News on Wednesday that enforcement only occurred when agencies were forced to act, citing John Johnstone, who overstayed his visa and was later arrested for animal torture.
  • Mullin alleged the administration sought to 'change the demographics' to promote socialism, while the office of Former President Joe Biden has not yet responded to requests for comment.
