DOJ Launches Fraud Division and Operation Not Forgotten 2026 to Combat Scams and Violent Crime
from Department of Justice (DOJ) News · host Inception Point AI
Welcome back to your weekly DOJ dispatch, where we break down the headlines shaping justice in America. This week, the biggest story is the launch of the National Fraud Enforcement Division, announced by Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche on April 7. With Americans losing over $20 billion to online scams last year according to the FBI, this new unit pulls in every U.S. Attorney's Office, adds 93 prosecutors, and ramps up data sharing to tackle what Blanche called a national crisis. "To the fraudsters who seek to take advantage of our nation," he warned, "the Department will investigate you. We will charge you with crimes and we will ensure that you are punished for your actions." Hot on its heels, the DOJ and FBI kicked off Operation Not Forgotten 2026 on April 2, surging personnel across 11 field offices to crack unsolved violent crimes in Indian Country, prioritizing missing and murdered women and children. Building on prior efforts that aided over 700 cases with recoveries and arrests, this ties into Operation Steadfast Promise amid 4,100 open investigations like child abuse and domestic violence. It's a direct boost to Tribal partnerships with the Bureau of Indian Affairs and ATF. For citizens, this means stronger shields against scams ripping off savings and safer Tribal communities. Businesses face tougher scrutiny on fraud schemes, like the recent $50 million hospice bust in California under Operation Never Say Die. States and locals gain from coordinated enforcement, easing burdens on overtaxed systems. No major international ripples here, but it underscores domestic priorities. Experts note these moves recover billions in stolen funds, from COVID relief to Medicare. Watch for indictments rolling out soon—citizens, tip lines are open at tips.fbi.gov for fraud or Indian Country crimes. Next, track fraud prosecutions and Operation deployments.
