The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a renewed focus on visa overstays following this past weekend's violent attack in Boulder, Colorado, allegedly carried out by an Egyptian national who had remained in the United States unlawfully since 2022.
According to an official statement issued by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and USCIS to intensify the review of immigration records and take "immediate appropriate actions" to identify and remove individuals who have overstayed visas.
