.@POTUS has done more than anyone in history to secure our nation’s borders. Part of that effort includes securing our financial system. This Administration will not allow illegal aliens to abuse financial institutions to steal billions of dollars from hardworking American taxpayers.

[Treasury Department @USTreasury]

Today, Treasury’s @FinCENnews issued an Advisory urging financial institutions to be vigilant against risks presented by the unlawful employment of illegal aliens. This is the first step in implementing @POTUS’ historic Executive Order entitled Restoring Integrity to America’s Financial System.

Today, Treasury’s @FinCENnews amended an order to enable the liquidation of Mexico-based financial institution CIBanco. Treasury previously cut off CIBanco’s access to the U.S. financial system after finding that the bank facilitated the laundering of illicit opioid proceeds, and the Government of Mexico assumed control. This resolution underscores the United States and Mexico’s shared commitment to protecting our financial systems from cartels and narcotraffickers, and to hold accountable those who enable them.
