How it started
DHS Watchdog Report Finds Limited Immigration Enforcement During 2021-2024
What happened
Markwayne Mullin, who serves as the head of the Department of Homeland Security, stated that limited resources and policies from the Joe Biden administration restricted enforcement actions against foreign nationals. An internal watchdog report released in September found that from fiscal years 2021 to 2024, Immigration and Customs Enforcement received over 3 million leads about possible alien overstays. However, only 496 investigations were launched, resulting in eight foreign national arrests.

Why it matters
The internal report indicated that foreign nationals who potentially posed threats to the United States remained at large because the department did not have sufficient resources to pursue all visa overstays. This highlights the operational scope and resource allocation of the United States Department of Homeland Security.
