SNAP scammers are cynical crooks who looked at a program for hungry children and saw a payday – we’re coming for every single one of them. The @HSTaskForce alongside @WHFraudTF are fighting and winning the war against fraud. To all the Americans who need these programs: we’ve got your back. You are why we’re doing this.
Vice President JD Vance: “We have way too much fraud in the SNAP program… we find that there are people out there who decide to commit fraud against these programs. Who quite literally in this case, will steal from the mouths of hungry children in order to enrich themselves. And that cannot go on and thanks to President Trump’s leadership, we are fighting and winning the war against fraud in the SNAP program.”

Case update from @FBINewHaven: Nursulton Izzatulloevich Khaydarov, a citizen of Uzbekistan, has been charged by indictment for his alleged involvement in the theft of numerous trucking cargo shipments. As alleged in court documents, a Homeland Security Task Force (@HSTaskForce) investigation revealed that Khaydarov purchased or otherwise assumed control of multiple motor carrier companies, then posed as the previous business owner to obtain contracts for interstate shipments. A driver picked up the shipment from the distribution location; however, the load did not make it to its intended destination and was subsequently reported stolen. To date, the estimated retail value of the stolen products of the cargo thefts Khaydarov was personally involved in is more than $12 million. Learn more: justice.gov/usao-ct/pr/homel…

By targeting the chemicals, labs, transport networks, and leadership of the Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG—both at home and abroad—we’re stopping fentanyl and other dangerous drugs from getting into our communities.   DEA gets results: ✅ 1,287 arrests during two global surges ✅ 1.8 M+ counterfeit pills seized ✅ 2 kg+ of fentanyl, meth & cocaine taken off the market   This success is built on deep cooperation with Mexican & Colombian law enforcement, the @HSTaskForce, the IC, and our state & local partners.   The goal is clear: dismantle the cartels, cut the supply, and protect every American.   #FentanylFreeAmerica #PublicSafety @DEATerryCole @TheJusticeDept

This Sinaloa Cartel drug trafficker used every method of transportation possible to poison Americans, including private planes, tunnels, trucks, and cars with hidden compartments. Drug trafficking is not a victimless crime. That’s why @DOJCrimDiv and @HSTaskForce are dismantling these deadly networks. justice.gov/opa/pr/sinaloa-c…
