美国移民与海关执法局(ICE)已启动一项全国性行动,针对被指控通过欺诈手段获取纳税人资助的食品援助福利的无证移民,此举是特朗普政府扩大调查涉嫌联邦项目欺诈行为努力的一部分。

ICE于10月21日在X平台发帖宣布该行动,称已有多名移民因涉嫌欺诈“补充营养援助计划”(SNAP)而被捕,该计划向符合条件的低收入个人和家庭提供食品援助。

The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has launched a nationwide operation targeting undocumented immigrants accused of fraudulently obtaining taxpayer-funded food assistance benefits, as the Trump administration expands its efforts to investigate alleged fraud involving federal programs.ICE announced the operation in a post on X on October 21, saying multiple immigrants had been arrested over allegations of fraud involving the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which provides food assistance to eligible low-income individuals and families.

该机构表示,此次行动是特朗普政府“消除欺诈特别工作组”的一部分,这是一项旨在解决政府资助项目涉嫌被滥用问题的更广泛举措。

The agency said the operation was part of the Trump administration’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, a broader initiative aimed at addressing alleged misuse of government-funded programs.“SNAP is designed to help struggling American families put food on the table, NOT fund illegal aliens scamming taxpayer-funded programs,” ICE said in its post.

ICE在帖文中称:“SNAP旨在帮助困难的美国家庭把饭端上桌,而不是为非法外国人骗取纳税人资助的项目提供资金。”该机构补充说,将继续追究被指控欺诈者的责任,被移民执法部门管辖的个人可能面临逮捕和驱逐等后果。美国绿卡续签:印度人申请被拒后如何寻求复审ICE瞄准涉嫌食品援助欺诈此次宣布是在联邦政府更广泛地打击涉嫌SNAP及其他政府援助项目欺诈的背景下作出的。据国土安全部(DHS)称,这项全国性行动已导致多起逮捕。

美国农业部(USDA)负责管理该计划,各州负责处理申请和发放福利。根据联邦规定,无证移民不具备领取SNAP福利的资格。根据美国农业部的说法,某些合法居留的非公民类别若符合适用的移民身份及其他资格要求,可能有资格申请。该计划旨在支持面临粮食不安全的合资格家庭,联邦和州政府部门负责防范和调查滥用行为。

The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers the program, while states handle applications and benefits distribution.

Certain categories of lawfully present noncitizens may qualify if they meet the applicable immigration-status and other eligibility requirements, according to the USDA. The program is intended to support eligible households facing food insecurity, with federal and state authorities responsible for preventing and investigating misuse.
