At a White House event, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance and adviser Stephen Miller unveiled a new federal anti-fraud task force aimed at alleged socialāservices and benefit fraud, with Vance saying Somaliālinked schemes in Minnesota have operated on an "industrial scale" and citing an "autism scam" as emblematic, while Miller vowed the effort would "demolish" widespread corruption and described recurring cases of refugees exploiting benefits. FTC Commissioner Andrew Ferguson will serve as vice chair of the interagency task force, which is set to coordinate antiāfraud work across Cabinet agencies including USDA and HUD.
