Department of Agriculture (USDA) Secretary Brooke Rollins revealed this week that thousands of individuals with luxury vehicles were discovered to use SNAP benefits. In one state, 14,000 people with such vehicles were using the program.
The agency discovered the owners of 3 Bentleys, 3 Ferraris, 11 Lamborghinis, 50 Maseratis, 141 Porsches, 244 Alfa Romeos, 306 Land Rovers, and 2,098 Teslas were using SNAP.
“And this is just in ONE STATE. We need to defend our nutrition programs for those most in need, not for scammers gaming the system,” Rollins wrote on X. “These individuals are taking advantage of the American taxpayer.”
Discussing the matter on “The Ingraham Angle,” Rollins said, “We’ve found 500,000 people getting more than one benefit illegally. We found 244,000 dead people. This is just the red states.”
“We have arrested 895 different people in the last year for illegally using the food stamp system and, of course, now we’re talking about what is happening with that money,” she explained.
The USDA also announced that it will reorganize itself to better serve Americans and to crack down on fraud. Part of the shift involves relocating offices out of D.C. and moving across the United States.
“On my first day leading the People’s Department, I shared several commitments to our state, tribal, territory, and local government partners, including prioritizing customer service and infusing each nutrition program with new energy and vision,” Rollins said of the matter. “This reorganization is designed with those commitments in mind. I look forward to working with our partners as we continue to nourish children and families in need through nutrition programs that not only are provided by America’s farm families, but programs that pave a pathway to better health and economic stability.”
