Nearly every fraud detection measure had been turned off by the Biden administration.
We put a stop to that and corrected course.
According to America.gov, $2 BILLION in education-related fraud has been uncovered since January 2025.
The Trump Administration is committed to rooting out fraud, waste, and abuse.
🔎 Learn more and report suspected fraud at America.gov.
One month ago, President Trump launched America.gov, a government built around you.
It puts you first. Respects your time. And actually works for YOU.
See the historic launch yourself in Hello, America. 🇺🇸
The Trump Administration is the most pro-parent administration in American history, and we will never stop fighting for families.
Parents MUST be kept informed.
Today, we are demanding revisions to the Illinois State Board of Education’s (@ISBEnews) guidance on administering mental health screenings without parental consent.

OPERATION GHOSTBUSTERS 👻🇺🇸
Kenyan nationals used stolen American identities to commit fraud by funneling federal student aid for their own personal gain and co-conspirators overseas.
Fraudsters like these are being crushed under @WHFraudTF and @TheJusticeDept leadership.

.@AAGMcDonald gives an update on Operation Ghostbusters, a nationwide investigation into federal student loan fraud:
"Today, we are announcing charges against five defendants and the seizure of more than $750,000 in cryptocurrency tied to this scheme, and laundered through a network associated with Kenyan nationals... Whether you’re in Nebraska, New Jersey, Virginia, or Nairobi, we will pursue you and bring you to justice. The American people deserve better than ghost students, fake applications, and stolen aid."

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump DOJ uncovered a MULTIMILLION dollar student loan fraud scheme perpetrated in part by KENYANS in America
These Kenyans were STEALING American identities, applying for student loans, then sending that money back to KENYA
SEND THEM ALL BACK. We DO NOT need these people here.
Multiple Kenyans have now been indicted by federal grand juries on SEVERAL federal charges, including theft of government money and aggravated identity theft.
American victims — some of which never went to college — were victims of this scheme, had their identities stolen, and their credit absolutely WRECKED.
These third worlders are absolute scumbags.
