ICE Expands Document And Benefit Fraud Task Forces To Six More Cities
Officials from the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Justice, Department of Labor, Department of State and other agencies today announced the creation of task forces in six major U.S. cities to combat the growing problems of document fraud and immigration benefits fraud.
The new Document and Benefit Fraud Task Forces will be located in Baltimore; Chicago; Miami; Phoenix; San Francisco; and Tampa, Fla. The new task forces build upon the success of document and benefit fraud task forces that have been operating in 11 major U.S. cities since April 2006. The task forces primarily target two types of crimes, document fraud and benefit fraud. These task forces have initiated 541 investigations, 350 indictments, 456 criminal arrests and 243 convictions.
Led by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the task forces build on existing partnerships to bring together investigators from a variety of agencies with expertise in different aspects of document and benefit fraud. These agents partner with U.S. Attorney's Offices to formulate a comprehensive approach in targeting the criminal organizations behind these schemes as well as the beneficiaries of such fraud.
