President Donald Trump unveiled a new federal website Monday night aimed at exposing the scale of Medicaid fraud involving illegal aliens, part of his administration’s renewed effort to enforce immigration and fiscal law while protecting taxpayer funds.

The website, which went live late Monday, publishes the names, mugshots, and criminal charges of individuals in the country illegally who have received Medicaid benefits.

According to the site, many of those listed have been convicted of serious offenses, including murder, rape, burglary, and assault.

In a statement posted on the site, the Trump administration said, “The Trump administration has intensified enforcement against criminal illegal aliens receiving taxpayer-funded Medicaid benefits, arresting hundreds of unauthorized individuals since taking office, including those with serious criminal records who exploited taxpayer-funded Medicaid illegally or through loopholes.

This crackdown, driven by executive orders prioritizing public safety and fiscal responsibility, has led to the swift deportation of many individuals convicted of heinous acts, ensuring that precious resources meant for American citizens are no longer diverted to subsidize violent criminals.”

The initiative also highlights the ongoing budget standoff in Congress, with the White House blaming Democrats for refusing to pass a spending bill that excludes provisions for expanded Medicaid eligibility to illegal aliens.

The administration’s statement said, “Compounding the crisis, Democrats have refused to pass a clean budget bill to end the shutdown unless Republicans concede to their demands for $1.5 trillion in new spending, including restorations to Medicaid expansions that would effectively extend coverage to over 1 million illegal aliens, funneling an additional $200 billion to such programs over the next decade at the expense of U.S. families.”

The release of the site follows weeks of public disputes between the White House and congressional Democrats over health care and immigration priorities.

While Democrats have denied that illegal aliens receive Medicaid benefits, federal investigations and oversight reports have documented ongoing issues with eligibility fraud, data mismatches, and states failing to verify citizenship before issuing benefits.

Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the issue during a recent appearance on Fox News, saying that Democrats “shut down the entire government because they want to give hundreds of billions of dollars of health care benefits to illegal aliens.”

Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins also cited recent enforcement successes in identifying and reducing welfare fraud. In an interview with Fox News, Rollins said her department’s review of about $100 billion in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) spending revealed thousands of cases of illegal activity and misuse of federal benefits.

“We have found, after studying about $100 billion in spending, thousands and thousands of illegal uses of the EBT card,” Rollins said.

“We have been moving people off of SNAP. We’ve got almost 700,000 people, I think, that we’ve moved off just since the President took office.”

Rollins added that “We’ve arrested about 118 people. So this has been ongoing. But what this conversation has allowed is a national spotlight on a broken and corrupt program. We found one guy in six different states getting a benefit. We found about 5,000 people who are dead and still getting benefits.”

On my first day @USDA, we told every state to send us their SNAP data so we could make sure illegal immigrants aren’t getting benefits meant for American families. 29 states stepped up. 21 blue states refused — and two SUED US FOR ASKING! ‍♀️

The launch of the new website comes as President Trump has made immigration enforcement and fiscal accountability central priorities of his administration.

The Department of Health and Human Services, in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, is conducting audits and cross-checks to ensure that Medicaid and other public benefits are limited to U.S. citizens and lawful residents.

A recent analysis by the Congressional Budget Office estimated that Medicaid spending on illegal aliens cost taxpayers more than $16 billion during the first three years of the Biden-Harris administration.

Administration officials said that figure reflects “systemic abuse and a lack of enforcement” that the Trump administration intends to reverse through the new transparency initiative.

The new website is expected to be regularly updated as investigations continue and additional arrests are made under the administration’s crackdown on fraud and illegal benefit use.
