【福克斯新闻独家首发】 由副总统JD·万斯领导的反欺诈专案组已暂停洛杉矶地区447家临终关怀机构和23家家庭健康机构的执业资格,涉疑似欺诈总额超6亿美元。

这一暂停执业机构数量较福克斯新闻数字频道4月初报道的70家增长约539%。

“只要存在欺诈,专案组就会追查到底,”万斯的一名发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“我们绝不会停止,直到每一笔纳税人的血汗钱都用在值得拥有它们的诚实美国人身上。”

一名白宫官员表态支持万斯和专案组铲除欺诈的决心,并向涉嫌欺诈活动人员发出严厉警告。

“警告所有欺诈者:想要躲过副总统领导的专案组,纯属白费力气,”这名白宫官员对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“(反欺诈专案组)正在审查并追查每一条可能的线索。这些暂停执业的机构数量,以及追回的涉诈金额,只会继续攀升。”

这一增长趋势是在万斯和医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心(CMS)负责人穆罕默德·奥兹博士于2月宣布计划截留明尼苏达州2.595亿美元医疗补助资金之后出现的。

此次行动此前,明尼苏达州州长蒂姆·瓦尔茨于1月宣布不寻求连任,当时该州的州级项目欺诈问题正受到越来越多的审查。

独立记者尼克·雪莉因曝光明尼苏达州“优质学习中心”及其他多由索马里移民拥有和运营的欺诈性医疗中心而闻名,他对该法案提出强烈批评,目前他已将目光投向揭露加州的欺诈问题。

“加州正在推进一项法案,将调查性报道定为轻罪,并处以1万美元罚款、监禁以及内容下架处罚,”雪莉在X平台上发帖称。“拟议中的法案编号为AB 2624,是在我曝光美国境内移民团体大规模欺诈之后提出的。”

“根据AB 2624法案,像索马里‘学习’日托中心这类政府资助实体,如果在加州运营,将免受曝光,”雪莉补充道。“敌人确实就在内部。当我们的政客宁愿保护欺诈者和非法移民时,我们要么站起来反抗,要么就会面临‘统治’我们的叛徒带来的大规模压迫。”

该法案已在加州议会的一个委员会以11票赞成、2票反对的结果通过。

AB 2624法案由民主党州议员米亚·邦塔提出,她是加州总检察长罗布·邦塔的妻子。

该法案的官方标题为“移民支持服务提供者隐私保护法案”,但共和党批评者将其称为“尼克·雪莉法案”,以纪念雪莉针对加州疑似欺诈问题展开的调查。

加州议会隐私与消费者保护委员会的听证会摘要对该法案描述称:“本法案扩大了州务卿的‘安全在家’项目范围,允许因从事移民服务工作而遭受伤害或威胁的指定移民支持服务提供者、雇员和志愿者进行登记,使其住址免于公开记录。”

邦塔辩称,“人肉搜索”企业“算不上新闻工作”,并告诉KSBW8电视台:“如今我们绝对需要确保人们在致力于保护我们移民社区的善意工作时能够得到保护。”

加州共和党州议员卡尔·德马奥强烈抨击该法案,称其试图“恐吓”记者。

“加州民主党正试图恐吓公民监督记者,保护极左翼非营利组织中的浪费和欺诈行为,”德马奥在一份声明中说。“AB 2624法案只能被称为‘阻止尼克·雪莉法案’——一项旨在压制曝光欺诈和纳税人资金滥用行为的公民记者的法案。”

“萨克拉门托的政客们没有解决被曝光的欺诈问题,反而试图打压曝光者,”德马奥补充道。“AB 2624法案将允许活动人士和政府资助组织要求删除视频证据——即便这些视频清晰记录了不当行为——还会以巨额经济处罚威胁记者。”

FIRST ON FOX: The anti-fraud task force led by Vice President JD Vance has suspended 447 hospices and 23 home health agencies suspected of fraud in Los Angeles, with a total fraud estimate of more than $600 million.

The number of suspensions is roughly a 539% increase from the 70 reported by Fox News Digital at the beginning of April.

“Where there is fraud, the task force will find it,” a spokesperson for Vance told Fox News Digital. “We will not stop until every hard-earned taxpayer dollar goes toward the honest Americans who deserve them.”

A White House official doubled down on Vance and the task force’s commitment to root out fraud, and sent a stark warning to those suspected of fraudulent activity.

“To all fraudsters: good luck trying to hide from the Vice President’s task force,” the White House official told Fox News Digital. “[The anti-fraud task force is] reviewing and pursuing every possible lead. These suspension numbers, and the dollar values saved, are only going to increase.”

The rising numbers add to the $259.5 million in Medicaid funds to Minnesota that Vance and CMS Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced plans to block in February.

The move followed Gov. Tim Walz’s January decision not to seek a third term, made amid growing scrutiny of fraud in state programs.

The dramatic increase in suspected fraud and the more than half-billion in potential fraudulent activity is revealed by the anti-fraud task force as Democratic legislators in California are advancing a bill that would impose steep fines and potentially criminal charges for exposing information about immigrant service workers.

Nick Shirley, an independent journalist who is known for exposing the Quality “Learing” Center and various other fraudulent healthcare centers largely owned and operated by Somali immigrants in Minnesota, lashed out at the bill, as he has recently set his sights on exposing fraud in California.

“California is trying to pass a bill that would criminalize investigative journalism with misdemeanors, $10,000 fines, imprisonment, and content takedown,” Shirley posted to X. “The proposed bill is titled AB 2624 and was made after I exposed mass fraud by immigrant groups in America.”

“Under AB 2624, government-funded entities like the Somali ‘Learing’ Daycare centers would be protected from being exposed if they operated inside California,” Shirley added. “The enemy truly is within. When our politicians would rather protect fraudsters and illegal migrants, it’s time for us to stand up or face mass oppression from the traitors who ‘rule’ over us.”

The bill has already passed through one committee in the California assembly in an 11-2 vote.

AB 2624 was introduced by Democratic assemblywoman Mia Bonta, who is the wife of California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

The bill’s official title states it is intended for the “privacy for immigration support services providers,” though GOP critics have dubbed the legislation the “Nick Shirley Act” after Shirley’s engagement with suspected fraud in California.

“This bill expands the Secretary of State’s Safe at Home program to allow designated immigration support services providers, employees, and volunteers who have experienced harm or threats of violence because of their work with immigrants to register allowing them to keep their addresses out of public records,” the California Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection committee hearing synopsis describes the legislation.

The California Assembly Committee on Privacy and Consumer Protection is chaired by Assemblywoman Bonta.

Bonta has argued that “doxxing” businesses “isn’t journalism” and told KSBW8 that “this is a time when we absolutely need to make sure that people are able to be protected as they seek to do the good work to protect our immigrant communities.”

Republican California Assemblyman Carl DeMaio blasted the bill, saying it attempts to “intimidate” journalists.

“California Democrats are trying to intimidate citizen watchdog journalists and protect waste and fraud happening in far-Left-wing NGOs,” DeMaio said in a statement. “AB 2624 can only be described as the ‘Stop Nick Shirley Act’ — a bill designed to silence citizen journalists exposing fraud and abuse of taxpayer dollars.”

“Instead of fixing the fraud problems being uncovered, Sacramento politicians are trying to shut down the people exposing them,” DeMaio added. “AB 2624 would allow activists and taxpayer-funded organizations to demand the removal of video evidence — even if it captures misconduct in plain view — and threatens journalists with massive financial penalties.”

Fox News Digital reached out to both Mia and Rob Bonta, Shirley and DeMaio but did not receive responses in time for publication.
