The DHS's Office of Inspector General examined how ICE handled millions of suspected overstays during a three-year period of Joe Biden's presidency.
The report found the agency received a staggering 3,145,375 leads, the majority of which - 96.7 percent - were classified as 'non-priority.'
It also found that out of more than 100,000 migrants identified as potential national security threats over the course of four years, the Biden administration arrested only eight, according to DHS.
Friday's report highlighted three cases in which migrants entered the United States legally before overstaying their authorized periods during Biden's presidency and were later arrested for a string of disturbing alleged crimes.
The Daily Mail can identify them as Jamaican national Shaquiel Sheldon Williams, British national John Young Cotter Johnstone and Lebanese national Sameh Mohamad Chami.
Williams, who was lawfully admitted to the US in December 2023, overstayed his welcome after it expired in January 2024. He is accused of stabbing two employees at a Burger King in Panama City, Florida after a dispute over his inability to pay for his meal on August 13 of this year. Williams was arrested and charged with two counts of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. Both victims were taken to the hospital to be treated for non-life-threatening injuries.
In Johnstone's case, the UK native was living in Nevada - despite his visa expiring in February 2022 - and was arrested in May of this year for torturing dogs at the animal shelter where he worked. The migrant had entered the country in 2021 under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). He was charged with four felony charges of willfully torturing, maiming or mutilating animals.
The third man, Lebanese national Sameh Mohamed Chami, 49, was in the US illegally when he was working as an Uber driver in Friendswood, Texas in August 2025. Chami is accused of sexually assaulting a 21-year-old female passenger after she fell asleep in the backseat of his car after a late night out, according to the DHS. The victim reportedly woke up in the front seat of Chami's car, parked near a school, with her shorts unbuttoned. She was later located by her family who picked her up at 3am. Chami, whose 12-month visa had expired in December 2022, was arrested and charged with aggravated kidnapping.
