**[Trump Establishes Federal Welfare Fraud Task Force Led by Vance]** According to Golden Finance, on March 17, U.S. President Trump signed an executive order to establish a special task force to combat federal welfare fraud. The task force will be led by Vice President Vance, aiming to strengthen government oversight of federal fund usage in Democrat-governed states. Trump and his allies have consistently sought to highlight alleged fraud issues in so-called "blue states," with Minnesota being a prime example. Trump previously used criminal cases involving Somali immigrants as justification for strengthening immigration enforcement in the state. Monday's executive order aims to expand this anti-fraud scrutiny nationwide. Vance stated that this initiative will adopt a "whole-of-government approach to address fraud issues," and the executive order will ensure that welfare benefits "go to American citizens, not fraudsters."
