The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has subpoenaed records from California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) in a legal effort to investigate potential payments made to individuals illegally in the U.S. This investigation targets Los Angeles County, seeking information on applicants’ names, immigration status, and proof of ineligibility for Social Security payments. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem criticized California’s policies, asserting that the Trump Administration is committed to preventing illegal immigrants from accessing federal benefits.
