Inspector General Anthony D'Esposito

The people who watched billions get stolen are suddenly offended that @POTUS, @VP and @WHFraudTF are doing something about it. We’re not here to protect Washington’s feelings. We’re here to recover stolen money and deliver handcuffs. nypost.com/2026/06/22/opi…

California still owes $22 BILLION to the UI Trust Fund. Taxpayers are paying for fraud and failure. Pass. It. On.

My friend Rabbi Katz called after seeing threats following our H-1B fraud investigation announcement. Though I’m not Jewish, he said I needed a mezuzah for blessings, wisdom, and protection. He drove from NY to deliver it. May it bring protection to all @DOLOIG.

TRADE AND CUSTOMS FRAUD SCHEMES: 🛑 Threaten our national and economic security 💰 Steal from taxpayers 🏭 Undermine American businesses 🌍 Fund foreign adversaries ⚠️ Introduce hazardous goods into our markets ⛓️ Exploit modern-day slavery The Fraud Division and the Trade Fraud Task Force are laser-focused on these schemes and will continue to bring bad actors to justice.

Our administration owes a debt of gratitude to Nick Shirley for exposing one of the most egregious cases of fraud this country has ever seen. If the media was worth their salt, they would take notes from Nick and other citizen journalists who care about investigating stories that affect the American people instead of trying to silence them.

@DOLOIG @USLaborIG @USDOL @WHFraudTF @VP @POTUS What is the best account to report companies & institutions abusing the system? Is it this account or @WHFraudTF ? How frequently are these accounts monitored & how quickly are these investigations launched? My company would be happy to help.

🚨H-1B scammers are stealing jobs from American youth. @USlaborIG: “getting shipped in from foreign countries and taking the jobs away from our children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews.” @DOLOIG, @USDOL, & @WHFraudTF are fighting for the future of the American worker. 🇺🇸

PRESS RELEASE: Trade Fraud Task Force Surpasses $1 Billion in Recoveries and Charged Losses in Less Than One Year: Enforcement Milestone Marks Strategic Pivot from Administrative Fines to Criminal and Civil Accountability Across the Global Supply Chain “For too long, fraud actors have viewed customs violations as a mere surcharge or cost of doing business,” said Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald. “By utilizing the Department’s full weight, we are making it clear that trade fraud is a serious economic crime. This billion-dollar milestone demonstrates that the United States and the National Fraud Enforcement Division will no longer allow the integrity of our country’s borders and markets to be compromised for illicit profit. This message should be heard loud and clear by all supply-chain actors.” Since January 2025, the Department has brought trade fraud enforcement actions all over the country as shown in the map below.

@WHFraudTF @DOLOIG Work, worth doing.

Shocking data revealed by @DOLOIG: 🚨 New York is among the worst states for unemployment insurance (UI) fraud exposure. 🚨 More than $750 MILLION in improper UI payments. 🚨 $507 MILLION in fraudulent payments in calendar year 2025. 🚨 New York alone loses nearly $2 MILLION per day to fraud and improper payments.

Frank Sinatra sang about making it here. Fraudsters are making it here instead. @POTUS @VP @WHFraudTF @Sonderling47 @DOLOIG will end the gravy train.

Being an @NYPDDetectives taught me this: every crime has a victim, even when you can’t see them. The work continues.

✅ FIGHT. ✅ STRENGTH. ✅ RESILIENCE. The reason @POTUS relates so much with American Workers is because they share these characteristics—and he will never stop fighting for you, the American people. 👊 🇺🇸

Fight. Fight. Fight. 🇺🇸 Two years ago today, in Butler, PA, an assassin opened fire on President Donald J. Trump. By the grace of God, his life was spared. As he rose to his feet - blood on his face, fist raised high - that moment became an enduring symbol of resilience, courage, & unbreakable determination for an entire nation.

Two years ago, our country witnessed an unspeakable act of violence in Butler, Pennsylvania. Being at the hospital in the aftermath of the attempted assassination of President Trump is a day I will never forget. Through it all, President Trump wasn’t focused on himself. He wanted to make sure everyone else was okay. I was with two dear friends that - Dan Scavino and Steven Cheung and must admit I had a few minutes of being in shock and even a little weepy. I’m grateful to God for His protection over the President and the team. But the cost of that day was nevertheless greater than many realize and we will continue to pray for the families impacted. We will not forget the day in Butler.

The scale of unemployment insurance fraud in New York—nearly $2 MILLION per day—is astounding. Finally, the American people have an administration committed to defending their hard-earned tax dollars. Great work, @DOLOIG. 🇺🇸

@AmericaOnlyRS @DOLOIG @VP @POTUS @WHFraudTF @USDOL Our team can walk and chew gum at the same time.

@DOLOIG @USLaborIG @VP @POTUS @WHFraudTF @USDOL Last week you were working on H1B fraud, what happened?

"They're taking the wages of the American dollar and sending it back to criminal enterprises." @USLaborIG and @SaraGonzalesTX discuss how companies defrauded the America through H1-B scams.

@DefiantLs Yes, they are.

Anthony D'Esposito sayH-1B visas are a huge problem, "Whether it's forced labor, wage theft, or human trafficking... Companies are hiring foreign workers while Americans are looking for jobs."
