The United States Government has ordered an urgent crackdown on immigrants who overstay their visas.
This comes following the arrest of an Egyptian national, Mohammed Solima, who allegedly set eight Americans on fire in Boulder, Colorado.
Solima is said to have overstayed his visa but remained in the country “unlawfully” since 2022.
The Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem gave the order saying all individuals found to have overstayed their visas would be located, prosecuted, and deported.
This directive came alongside the directive from US president Donald Trump to ban citizens from 12 countries from coming into America.
