On April 27, 2020, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) released an online resource page to combat COVID-19 fraud schemes. Tagged “Operation Stolen Promise,” the new dedicated web page provides information to the public on COVID-19-related fraud schemes. In addition, the page also highlights the investigative efforts the agency is taking to counter threats posed by individuals and criminal organizations seeking to exploit the pandemic for illicit financial gain.

Similarly, the Department of Homeland Security issued a Fact Sheet on April 24, 2020 to highlight the steps the agency has taken to combat COVID-19-related fraud.
