The Trump administration is escalating its crackdown on immigration-related fraud, launching its first major investigation into alleged H-1B and PERM visa abuse, labor trafficking, and the displacement of American workers, Labor Department Inspector General Anthony D’Esposito told FOX Business on Wednesday.
D’Esposito announced the probe exclusively on “Mornings with Maria,” calling it the latest step in the administration’s expanding anti-fraud campaign ahead of Vice President JD Vance’s nationwide fraud initiative event in Milwaukee set for later in the day.
“This is another example where fraud is fueling violent crime,” he said. “Much of the visa and the human trafficking that we see when it comes to this foreign labor is tied to cartels, is tied to transnational gangs, and this is the work that we should be doing, not only to make America safe again, but to make America more affordable again.”
D’Esposito said investigators have already begun to issue dozens of subpoenas.
