🇺🇸 “The American Dream is not for sale”
ICYMI: Federal charges were unsealed today against six individuals in connection with a large-scale marriage fraud ring operating in Massachusetts for more than a decade.
According to court documents, the alleged ringleader earned millions of dollars arranging sham marriages between illegal aliens and U.S. citizens, charging up to $40,000 per marriage to fraudulently obtain immigration status.
The operation allegedly arranged 18–20 sham marriages annually, using staged wedding photographs and fraudulent documentation to deceive immigration authorities.
During the investigation, the alleged ringleader was recorded describing Massachusetts as a “sanctuary” and telling a customer, “Massachusetts is the best place for you to be.”

This operation exemplifies the commitment of our federal, state, and local partners working together under the Make DC Safe and Beautiful initiative. Gun‑running networks do not respect state lines, and neither does our determination to stop them. This joint effort shows how coordinated enforcement can protect both Washington, D.C. communities and the communities where these schemes originate.
Today, @USAttyPirro and @USAO_EDNC announced that ATF Agents arrested five individuals following a federal grand jury in the Eastern District of North Carolina returning indictments alleging their involvement in a firearms trafficking scheme.
This enforcement action was conducted in collaboration with the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, a federal task force chaired by the Homeland Security Advisor, to curb violent crime, address narcotics and firearms offenses, enforce quality-of-life and transit rules, and support local and federal police agencies.

.@AGToddBlanche in Ohio with @VP on SNAP Fraud: "We have uncovered $42 MILLION dollars in fraud associated with the SNAP program. This fraud comes in all different ways. It comes from these criminals actually stealing the money off the cards that are used to purchase food by our most needed in the country. It comes from just outright theft and taking money from the people that are supposed to be receiving these efforts."
