‘Illegal Aliens STOLE $1.4M…’: DOJ charges 11 in massive FRAUD CRACKDOWN in Massachusetts
The U.S. Department of Justice has charged 15 individuals, including 11 illegal aliens, in connection with an alleged $1.4 million public benefits fraud scheme in Massachusetts. Federal prosecutors say the operation exploited taxpayer-funded assistance programs, prompting a major crackdown by the DOJ's Fraud Division. According to officials, the fraud scheme highlights growing concerns over abuse of America's social safety-net programs and the financial burden placed on taxpayers. Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald said the department remains focused on identifying fraud, recovering stolen funds, and holding offenders accountable.
