DHS: Corruption Eruption Part Deux

Here's EVEN MORE shenanigans from the Chertoff idiots at DHS:


  1. FEMA inspector accused of soliciting and accepting bribes in connection with kickbacks on over-inflated FEMA claims.

  2. FEMA temporary employee in NYC facilitated $1,000,000 fraud via submission and approval of false claims for financial assistance to FEMA after the attacks on the World Trade Centers on 9-11-01. The investigation led to the indictment of 8 persons on 52 counts.

  3. Former prison captain guilty of civil rights violation and witness tampering, convicted of 3 counts of witness tampering and the beating of an immigrant detainee.

  4. ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) special agent convicted of workers' compensation fraud of over $239,000 while working for another company and failing to report the income.
