🚨 BREAKING: Two people were arrested this morning in Chicago in an alleged $29.7 million SNAP fraud scheme.
Per the DOJ, they allegedly used their food stores to run thousands of fake food purchases. They were indicted in the Southern District of Ohio and are charged with multiple felonies.
Assistant Attorney General McDonald: "There is no program too noble for a fraudster. They will take whatever they can no matter the financial cost and no matter the human toll."
In Massachusetts, prosecutors filed a complaint against a two-time felon and Dominican national suspected to be in the country illegally.
Steal from hungry kids, and the DOJ is coming for you.
