Dems Divided Over Ending Shutdown - as 700,000 SNAP Recipients Found Ineligible After Widespread Food Stamp Fraud Uncovered

"These states are stonewalling, because they know the fraud is massive."
 

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Texas Insider Report) — With some of the most shocking findings of waste, fraud and theft since the beginning of President Donald Trump's presidency, Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins spoke to the American people about the USDA's massive effort to combat fraud in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) over the weekend to announce her team and DOGE found some of the most shocking fraud ever, resulting in the purging of 700,000 ineligible recipients since the president's inauguration. 

Rollins called for major reforms to ensure food stamps reach truly vulnerable Americans, not illegal aliens who abuse the system and act as a net drain on public resources.

Rollins said that the Trump administration sent letters to all governors prohibiting illegal aliens from accessing benefits, with a historic request for state data to be audited alongside the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). She said only 29 states cooperated, primarily red and some blue states.

Some of the key findings she unveiled in the interview:

• SNAP spending surged nearly 40% under Biden, linked to $100 billion in expenditures.

• 1,000s of ineligible illegals used EBT cards – including one individual claimed benefits in six states.

• About 5,000 deceased recipients were still receiving aid.

Political activist Mike Netter noted on X,

"These states are stonewalling because they know the fraud is massive. When you hide the books, it's never to protect the honest folks—it's to cover up the rot. 

"Meanwhile, the states that did cooperate are already exposing exactly the kind of abuse the left swears doesn't exist." 

Washington, D.C. is in the mix too. 

The 21 states that refused to send their SNAP data to the USDA are:
 

1. California
2. Colorado
3. Connecticut
4. Delaware
5. Hawaii
6. Illinois
7. Maine
8. Maryland
9. Massachusetts
10. Michigan
11. Minnesota
12. Nevada
13. New Jersey
14. New Mexico
15. New York
16. Oregon
17. Pennsylvania
18. Rhode Island
19. Vermont
20. Virginia
21. Washington
