U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins joined Fox News on Sunday and addressed the American people about the USDA’s massive effort to combat fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program(SNAP).
Rollins said that the Trump administration sent letters to all governors prohibiting illegal aliens from accessing benefits, with a historic request for state data to be audited alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states.
She said her team and DOGE found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president’s inauguration, and arrested 118 individuals.
Some of the key findings she unveiled in the interview:
- SNAP spending surged nearly 40% under Biden, linked to $100 billion in expenditures.
- Thousands of ineligible illegals used EBT cards; one individual claimed benefits in six states.
- About 5,000 deceased recipients were still receiving aid.
