In a post on X, Duffy said there would be \u201cunprecedented fraud crackdown\u201d announcement on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cTOMORROW: UNPRECEDENTED FRAUD CRACKDOWN,\u201d the secretary wrote.<\/p>\n

In the post, he also tagged Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Justice and the\u00a0White House Task Force\u00a0to Eliminate Fraud, suggesting a multi-department effort targeting fraud.<\/p>\n

Duffy did not disclose details of the announcement, including when or where it will take place, what type of fraud will be discussed or whether any arrests have been made.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid the administration\u2019s broader crackdown on fraud. Trump established the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud in March to coordinate efforts involving federal benefit programs.<\/p>\n

The DOJ has also created a National Fraud Enforcement Division to investigate and prosecute the theft or fraudulent misuse of taxpayer dollars.<\/p>\n

Duffy\u2019s Department of Transportation has worked with DHS in recent months to crack down on alleged fraud and safety violations in the commercial trucking industry, including improperly issued commercial driver\u2019s licenses, fraudulent driving schools and unvetted foreign drivers.<\/p>\n

The agencies announced a joint investigation in July into about 75 commercial driving schools suspected of fraud, including allegedly falsifying training records and improperly certifying drivers. <\/p>\n

The two departments have also conducted roadside enforcement operations targeting\u00a0unqualified foreign commercial drivers.<\/p>\n
