Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy signaled Sunday that the Trump administration is preparing to unveil a major new push aimed at cracking down on fraud.
Writing on X, Duffy previewed what he described as an “unprecedented fraud crackdown,” saying more details would be announced Monday.
“TOMORROW: UNPRECEDENTED FRAUD CRACKDOWN,” Duffy posted.
His post also tagged Markwayne Mullin, the Department of Homeland Security, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Department of Justice and the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, indicating the announcement may involve a coordinated effort across multiple federal agencies.
Duffy did not provide additional information, leaving unclear when or where the announcement will take place, what category of fraud officials plan to address or whether any arrests have already been made.
The announcement comes amid the administration’s broader crackdown on fraud. Trump established the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud in March to coordinate efforts involving federal benefit programs.

The DOJ has also created a National Fraud Enforcement Division to investigate and prosecute the theft or fraudulent misuse of taxpayer dollars.
Duffy’s Department of Transportation has worked with DHS in recent months to crack down on alleged fraud and safety violations in the commercial trucking industry, including improperly issued commercial driver’s licenses, fraudulent driving schools and unvetted foreign drivers.
The agencies announced a joint investigation in July into about 75 commercial driving schools suspected of fraud, including allegedly falsifying training records and improperly certifying drivers.
The two departments have also conducted roadside enforcement operations targeting unqualified foreign commercial drivers.
