Homeland Security subpoenas California for possible cash benefits to illegals
Fox News
ICE's Homeland Security Investigations is filing subpoenas to investigate whether California has been using federal funds to grant benefits to illegal immigrants.
According to the program's website, CAPI is intended to provide monthly cash benefits to aged, blind, and disabled non-citizens who are ineligible for federal Supplemental Security Income, but the White House claims it provides benefits to illegal immigrants who cannot access social security benefits.

DHS Sec. Kristi Noem criticized California politicians in a statement, saying, "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."
She added, "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."
