The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has announced the creation of a new division within the Department of Justice that will deal with fraud across the country, including fraud targeting federal government programs, nonprofit organizations, and citizens.
White House officials said the division will conduct investigations and prosecutions and implement anti-fraud measures, with an assistant attorney general responsible for coordinating these operations, Reuters reported.
Earlier this week, the Trump administration froze more than $10 billion in federal funds for child care and family assistance in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, and New York, citing concerns over alleged fraud.
Critics argue that the administration is using fraud allegations as a political tool to target immigrants and political opponents.
Human rights advocates warn that Trump is exaggerating isolated cases and that his actions represent an overreach of federal authority, particularly toward the Somali community in Minnesota.
