The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has initiated an investigation into Los Angeles County's Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), aiming to assess allegations that it provides benefits to undocumented individuals. CAPI, which aids elderly and disabled immigrants who are legally in the U.S., pays out about $1,100 monthly for individuals and $1,900 for couples. Despite California officials asserting the program's compliance and distinct state funding, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem criticized it as prioritizing illegal immigrants, warning that the investigation may expand beyond Los Angeles County.
