The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is accusing the Biden administration of “dereliction of duty” after a DHS Office of Inspector General report revealed that the administration took little to no action to deal with noncitizens who illegally overstayed their authorized periods in the United States, including those deemed threats to national security.
The OIG report found that Biden’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) received 3,145,375 nonimmigrant visa overstay leads during fiscal years 2021–2024, with 104,049 (3.3 percent) flagged as potential national security or public safety concerns. ICE opened only 496 investigations into those flagged leads and made only eight arrests, DHS said.
The remaining 3,041,326 overstay leads (96.7 percent) were determined by the Biden administration to be “Non-Priority.”
The report also found that of 2,837,188 Non-Priority leads that were sent to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), only five were investigated after being determined to be possible public safety threats, and only two arrests were made.
The report identified a September 2021 policy under then-Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas directing ICE to focus resources only on “Priority 1” threats as the “root cause” of the derelict nonenforcement of U.S. law.

In a press release, DHS provided several examples of “Non-Priority” alien overstays who went on to commit horrific crimes in the United States:
Shaqiuel Sheldon Williams, an illegal alien from Jamaica:
Williams was lawfully admitted to the United States in December 2023, but overstayed his authorized period after it expired in January 2024. According to DHS, he was arrested in Florida In August 2026, and charged with TWO counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after allegedly stabbing two people at a Burger King.
John Young Cotter Johnstone, an illegal alien from the United Kingdom:
Johnstone entered the country in 2021 under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) and overstayed his authorized period after it expired in February 2022, according to DHS. He was arrested in Nevada in May 2026 and charged with “FOUR felony charges of willfully torturing, maiming, or mutilating animals after he allegedly tortured dogs at the animal shelter where he worked,” DHS said. ...
Chami was lawfully admitted to the United States in December 2021 but overstayed his authorized period after it expired in December 2022, according to DHS. He was arrested in Texas in August 2025, and “charged with aggravated kidnapping after he allegedly sexually assaulted his Uber passenger.”
We were not getting the best and brightest during the 4 year period of non-enforcement known as the Biden administration.
Based on my knowledge of the local crime scene data (small town newspapers), we have plenty of people already here that will steal, mug or assault for a little drug money.
We do not need more.
ICE arrests Illegal alien working for Democratic congressional campaign in Pennsylvania
obvious TREASON, and there should be punishments
of jail and executions.
Liberalism,the DNC, socialism and communism should all be placed on a terrorist watchlist and exterminated with extreme prejudice.
During brain-dead Biden’s years of willfully corrupting US immigration law, America was infested
w/ lowlife foreign druggies...... stealing, mugging and assaulting innocent Americans to get a fix.
And most of ‘em are still here...... doing their dirty deeds.
Biden ....dereliction of duty?...I suppose that’s part of what he’s guilty of. He & Obama should have both been serving time before now.
The courts need to revisit the premise that government cannot be held responsible for failing to stop crime.
We must have accountability!
Willfully refusing to apprehend known threats (or judges who release them) must face consequences.
Yeah, speaking of that lump of ****. Whatever happened to the accountability of the autopen? Why has the White House let that fade?
Perhaps a “Citizen’s Vigilance Committee for the Decoration of Light Poles”?
I know many green card and visa holders who follow the letter of the law on renewals and continually state their gratitude to this country. I’ve heard our renewal process can be a mess where some will get renewal dates in court that are months past their visa expiration. That sucks for those and i hope they are getting some kind of grace because it’s our system faulting them.
For the rest, the criminals, the ones abusing the system, they are out. The trouble is our system is such a mess it’s hard to know how many are in each of these buckets. I mean, police know the criminals so can at least trust ICE and other groups to get them.
Old news perpetuated by old men, ancient history, no one cares, water over the dam.
Let it go, besides racism and old men.
2,837,188 of them running around lose?
You can bank on the fact they all voted dumocrat.......
Most likely multiple times.............
