Does your child really know everyone on their friend and follower lists online? Don’t wait to find out.
Take a few minutes to review those lists together and remove anyone they haven’t met in person. ☑️
A quick check can spark deeper conversations about privacy and online safety. Learn more at: dhs.gov/know2protect/p2p #Pledge2Protect

🚨MAN SENTENCED FOR LEADING MULTI-MILLION $$ MONEY LAUNDERING CONSPIRACY🚨
An @HSIMaryland @HSTFNCC investigation led to an 8 YEAR sentence for the US ringleader of an international fraud & money laundering network that targeted businesses, pandemic relief programs, and victims
Adanegbe “Gift” Osemwenkhae recruited U.S. participants, opened shell businesses and bank accounts, and laundered fraud proceeds with overseas co-conspirators.
His role in at least 27 BEC schemes sought to move $30M+, causing about $20M in losses.
FRAUD HAS CONSEQUENCES.
Osemwenkhae must now serve 96 months in federal prison and pay $20,851,940.80 in restitution to victims.
HSI Maryland will continue pursuing fraud networks and the money they steal.

"From the fear and the sorrow and the anger felt on the days of terrorist attacks, I was in a position to help prevent another terrorist attack from happening."
@HSIMaryland Deputy Special Agent in Charge Campanella shares how he carries forward the legacy of September 11, 2001:
25 years ago, the attacks of September 11, 2001, left an indelible mark on our nation and on every officer who wears the badge.
We remember the fallen not only with words, but through continued service, holding their courage in our hearts every day.

Too many Americans have died, suffered life altering injuries, or experienced the unimaginable trauma of losing family and friends because of fraudulent truck driving schools.
HSI remains steadfast in its commitment to identifying, investigating and dismantling CDL fraud with our Department of Transportation partners.

HSI is CRACKING DOWN on CDL fraud.
Alongside @USDOT, we're investigating fraud, holding bad actors accountable, and keeping illegal drivers OFF America's roads.
SHUTDOWN: @USDOT announces a historic crackdown on fraudulent CDL schools. Over 100 of these schools allowed non-English speakers to operate big rig trucks, endangering American citizens.
The Trump Administration's interagency effort to prosecute fraud and shut down these schools will make America's streets safer.
