Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins revealed that her agency has uncovered thousands of cases of food stamp fraud, saying Democrat-run states have refused to provide data to the Trump administration as her agency investigates illegal migrants on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has removed nearly 700,000 individuals from SNAP and had about 118 alleged fraudsters arrested since President Donald Trump re-entered office this year, Rollins said on Fox News’ Big Weekend Show:
On her first day in charge of USDA back in February, Rollins sent letters to each state’s governor requesting data on who is using food stamps, as a nearly 40 percent “explosion” in beneficiaries occurred during the Biden administration.
“Of course, we know they were trying to buy the election, but that’s a conversation for another time,” the secretary said, before stating that 29 states have “complied,” with just two being Democrat-run.
Two states “sued us for asking,” Rollins wrote on X, without clarifying which states. An inquiry to USDA on Monday did not immediately receive a response.
And yet they keep doling them out to those who just refuse to work. If they get hungry enough, they will work.
No wonder aoc and Pelosi are rich.
