“ICE lodged an arrest detainer against Sameh Mohamad Chami—a criminal illegal alien let into our country by Joe Biden,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote in a statement to Fox News. “This depraved criminal was charged with aggravated kidnapping after he allegedly sexually assaulted a 21-year-old girl who was a passenger in his Uber car. President [Donald] Trump and Secretary [Kristi] Noem unleashed our brave law enforcement to take down these sickos and to protect women from sexual predators.” 

The detainer was issued on the day of Chami’s arrest to ensure he is transferred to ICE custody and not released into American neighborhoods, according to DHS.

“President Trump and Secretary Noem are committed to restoring integrity to the visa program and ensuring it is not abused to allow aliens a permanent one-way ticket to remain in the U.S.,” DHS wrote in a statement.
