Earlier today, the Trump administration announced that it has launched an investigation into California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants, a state program that provides monthly cash benefits to aged, blind, and disabled undocumented immigrants. (https://www.cdss.ca.gov/inforesources/cash-assistance-for-immigrants)

The investigation began in Los Angeles, with ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations Los Angeles field office issuing a Title 8 subpoena to CAPI, which in effect requests all records from the L.A. County Department of Public Social Services, to determine if ineligible immigrants received any supplemental security income from the Social Security Administration over the last four years, according to a DHS spokesperson.

"Radical left politicians in California prioritize illegal aliens over our own citizens, including by giving illegal aliens access to cash benefits. The Trump Administration is working together to identify abuse and exploitation of public benefits and make sure those in this country illegally are not receiving federal benefits or other financial incentives to stay illegally. If you are an illegal immigrant, you should leave now. The gravy train is over. While this subpoena focuses only on Los Angeles County - it is just the beginning.” - Kristi Noem/Homeland Security Secretary

This investigation comes after Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum on April 15th, to stop illegals from obtaining Social Security Act benefits.
 
So they’re investigating whether or not California is dipping into Social Security funds to pay for this?

So Kristi Noem is telling old, blind and crippled immigrants (apparently in possession of less than $2000) to find their way home. Hopefully, she will have her staff supply a white cane to the blind and push them in the right direction and a skateboard to the crippled ones.

More nonsensical bullshit.

If the funds are state based, neither dumpletits nor his goons have any authority to act.

If they were using this program to illegally assist immigrants into drawing SS benefits, this would be fraud on a massive scale. Sure does help explain the left's cry over falsely stating Trump and the Republicans are cutting SS and medicare benefits.....got something to hide? The outcome should prove interesting.

California taxpayers have been paying for services and bennies to illegals for years, but it's been one of California's elephant-in-the-room issues. Folks know about it, but nobody wants to talk about it. Hopefully this investigation into California's CAPI transgressions will spark discussions about using Taxpayers' money to give hand-outs to illegals.

Trump was wise to issue the memorandum, and Noem is wise to follow through with it.

Yeah, how cruel. They were much better off in their home country, a place that's much more generous than this one. Makes one wonder why they ever left. If we were really caring, I suppose we'd offer to help them go back, wouldn't we?

Oh, wait!! We do!

Keep repeating to yourself, “aged, blind and disabled.”

According to a top Biden advisor, his Secretary of Stupid, money is fungible (ask someone what that means). An investigation should show whether Federal funds are involved in CAPI in any way.

Of course they have authority to act . . . a duty to act, actually.

You missed this important info in the OP:

. . . Title 8 subpoena to CAPI, which in effect requests all records from the L.A. County Department of Public Social Services, to determine if ineligible immigrants received any supplemental security income from the Social Security Administration over the last four years,

SSA is federal - not State. They are looking to uncover Social Security monies distributed to illegals through the CAPI program.
