Kash Patel Announces a CBP Director Is Under Investigation for Alleged FEMA Fraud
12 Mar 2025 ~~ By Jennifer Oliver O'ConnellThe rooting out of government fraud and waste continues, this time at the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency (CBP). A career CBP employee—a director, no less—appears to have gamed the federal system and siphoned from money slated for emergency management purposes to suit her own.
While the alleged crime occurred under the Biden administration, we now have a new sheriff under President Donald J. Trump. If not for Trump's mandate to root out this corruption and fraud, and for his new attorney general, director, and secretary at the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) (which has oversight over CBP) respectively, this might have been another case of "nothing to see here, move along."
Instead, the long-time CBP high-level staffer Serina Baker-Hill is under investigation and according to the DOJ press release, has been charged criminally with defrauding the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Hooray for the FBI's new boss Kash Patel; so much better than the old boss.
The DOJ press release read thusly:
And Sam Brinton, the disgraced and fired deputy assistant secretary at the Department of Energy never stole that luggage either. Facts, like bank records and energy output, can be a stubborn things. But the FBI press release reinforces that a criminal charge is not a conviction, and that "When the investigation is completed, a determination will be made whether to seek a felony indictment."
Many Americans are thrilled that exposure is actually happening, and Patel is being transparent on the agency's investigations.
~Snip~
How many other staffers in high-level positions in this agency, or the multitudinous other agencies in the federal government, have done the same? Patel, Bondi, Noem, and the rest of the cabinet heads need to turn their agencies upside-down and keep shaking until all the loose screws fall out. CBP director Serina Baker-Hill is probably one of a thousand bureaucrats who have robbed the American people.
Commentary:
Serina Baker-Hill is low hanging fruit. I'm more interested in the big fish and so should Patel be interested in going after more prized game that have been ripping off taxpayers and the gov't.
