AN AMERICAN SAFETY NET HAS BEEN TURNED INTO A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, with Venezuelan nationals and illegal immigrants at the HEART of a MILLION-DOLLAR plunder of YOUR taxpayer dollars. The Justice Department has exposed a syndicate that didn’t just steal from the government—they STOLE THE IDENTITIES OF INNOCENT AMERICANS, INCLUDING SIX CHILDREN, to fuel a brazen fraud operation that funneled money straight back to Venezuela and the Dominican Republic.
This isn’t petty theft. This is a SYSTEMATIC, MULTI-STATE ASSAULT on pandemic aid and food stamps (SNAP), revealing a GAPING HOLE in our border and welfare security. The suspects, operating from a Massachusetts restaurant called El Primo, used over 115 stolen identities to fraudulently obtain benefits. They then used those FREE government benefits to stock their restaurant’s kitchen, selling meals for PURE PROFIT and wiring the cash overseas. This is how YOUR compassion is repaid: by bankrolling foreign criminals who view American generosity as a weakness to be exploited.
The scheme is a BLUEPRINT for transnational fraud. Counterfeit passports, fake addresses, and a web of lies allowed them to siphon $700,000 in pandemic unemployment alone—money meant for struggling U.S. citizens. While hard-working Americans faced unimaginable hardship, these operators LAUGHED their way to the bank, funded by your taxes.
This case is just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG, a terrifying glimpse into a shadow economy where illegal immigration and large-scale fraud intersect. Our systems are not just broken; they are being weaponized against us. Every dollar stolen is a meal taken from a hungry child, a lifeline severed from a desperate family. When will the real victims—the American people—be protected?
