Trump Administration Freezes Additional $1.2 Billion in California Medicaid Payments Over Suspected Fraud; State Department Says Over 300,000 Visas Revoked in Second Term / 川普政府因怀疑欺诈再冻结加州12亿美元Medicaid付款;国务院称第二任期已撤销超过30万份签证

On October 20, 2026, Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz announced that the Trump administration is deferring an additional $1.2 billion in Medicaid reimbursements to California. The action targets the state’s personal care services program, which Oz said has grown about 24 percent over three years — roughly twice the national average. Federal officials cited concerns that the state has not provided sufficient documentation to rule out fraud.

美西时间2026年10月20日,医疗保险与医疗补助服务中心局长奥兹医生宣布,川普政府将再推迟加州12亿美元的Medicaid报销款。行动针对该州个人护理服务项目。奥兹称该项目过去三年增长约24%,约为全国平均水平的两倍。联邦官员表示,加州尚未提供足够文件以排除欺诈。

The same day, the State Department said the Trump administration has revoked more than 300,000 visas since the start of the second term in January 2025. Spokesman Tommy Pigott stated that the pace exceeds that of any previous administration. The revocations target foreign nationals on visas who violate the law, commit fraud, or threaten national security, including cases linked to birth tourism.

同一天,国务院表示,川普政府自2025年1月第二任期开始以来,已撤销超过30万份签证。发言人汤米·皮戈特称,这一速度超过以往任何一届政府。撤销针对持签证违法、欺诈或威胁国家安全的外国人,包括与出生旅游相关的案件。

Both steps continue the administration’s focus on reducing improper payments and tightening immigration enforcement. California officials have previously disputed similar Medicaid deferrals, arguing that program growth reflects efforts to keep people in their homes rather than nursing facilities. The State Department has not released a full breakdown of nationalities or specific categories for the latest visa total.

这两项措施延续了政府对减少不当支付和加强移民执法的关注。加州官员此前曾对类似的Medicaid推迟提出异议,称项目增长反映的是让人们留在家中而非进入养老机构的努力。国务院尚未公布最新签证总数的完整国籍或具体类别明细。
