Trump and ICE are not playing games with anyone!
In a stunning move that’s igniting taxpayer outrage, the Trump Administration has launched a federal investigation into California’s alleged misuse of federal funds to support illegal immigrants. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) dropped subpoenas this week demanding financial records tied to a controversial state welfare program.
At the center of the storm is California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI)—a program that claims to help elderly, blind, and disabled non-citizens. But critics say CAPI has become a quiet cash stream for illegal immigrants who are not entitled to Social Security or federal welfare.
✅ Did You Know? Your federal tax dollars may be used to fund monthly cash payments to people who crossed the border illegally.
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in Los Angeles issued subpoenas seeking names, dates of birth, immigration status, and full application records from CAPI going back to 2021. The move follows growing concerns that federal benefits are being funneled into sanctuary programs with little to no oversight.
Trump Administration Cracks Down: “The Gravy Train Is Over”
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t mince words. In a firm statement, she said:
“Far-left leaders in California continue to put illegal immigrants ahead of law-abiding American citizens. If you’re in this country unlawfully, it’s time to go—your taxpayer-funded free ride is coming to an end.”
This federal investigation is starting in Los Angeles County, but officials say this is only the first step in uncovering what may be a widespread abuse of public funds across the entire state.
Eye-Opening Report Exposes $19 Billion Federal Money Grab
Fueling the investigation is a bombshell report from the Economic Policy Innovation Center (EPIC), which outlines a massive backdoor scheme that could let California collect over $19 billion in federal reimbursements—without contributing a single penny of state money.
According to EPIC, California works with insurance companies to manipulate Medicaid taxes, turning the program into what they describe as:
“One of the most outrageous money laundering schemes to ever hit American healthcare.”
The funds, EPIC alleges, are then used to pay for illegal immigrant healthcare, luxury long-term care for wealthy Californians, and more.

California Pushes Back—But Refuses to Address the Core Allegations
A spokesperson from California’s Department of Healthcare Services pushed back on EPIC’s findings, calling them “misleading.” They directed readers to a government website for what they call the “full picture.”
Meanwhile, Governor Gavin Newsom’s office has gone silent, refusing to comment when questioned by Fox News Digital.
Why This Matters to You
If you’re a hardworking American who played by the rules, paid your taxes, and contributed to society, this news should concern you deeply. While millions of citizens struggle to afford healthcare and retirement, billions of federal dollars may be getting siphoned off to support those who entered our country illegally.
With President Trump back in office, the tide is turning. Illegal immigration is no longer a free ride—and this investigation may just be the beginning of a nationwide reckoning.
