NEW: Emilia Sykes Enables Devastating SNAP Fraud

May 27, 2025

New reporting from Ohio revealed three illegal immigrants are being investigated for stealing “more than $150,000 in the state’s food stamp program, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP.”

These illegal immigrants used vulnerable Ohioan’s SNAP benefits “to buy thousands of dollars worth of candy, soda, Red Bull, and other goods.”

The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services reports that since the summer of 2023 the state has had $17 million of benefits stolen from SNAP.  

The report follows Emilia Sykes voting to allow 1.4 million illegal immigrants to take advantage of SNAP, undermining the program for deserving Ohioans while also turning her back on Ohio’s farmers and rural communities.

“Out of touch Democrat Emilia Sykes repeatedly puts her radical agenda ahead of Ohioans, leaving Ohio’s most vulnerable communities to bear the consequences. Sykes’ refusal to protect vital programs isn’t just negligence, it’s a disgrace.” – NRCC spokesman Zach Bannon
