住房与城市发展部「清洁屋行动」逮捕491名逃犯 12城清剿藏匿补助住房的通缉人员
美国住房与城市发展部（HUD）10月8日宣布（第26-083号发布），HUD监察长办公室与美国法警局等机构联合开展的「清洁屋行动」（Operation Clean House）共逮捕491名逃犯，这些人被指藏匿在HUD补助住房中，涉及逃犯通缉与住房补贴欺诈。
行动覆盖全美12座城市，包括洛杉矶。执法人员针对的是持有未执行逮捕令、却住在公共住房或使用住房券的人员，以及涉嫌冒领补贴者。
HUD部长斯科特·特纳（Scott Turner）表示，补助住房是给守法家庭的资源，不应成为逃犯的藏身处。代理监察长布莱恩·D·哈里森（Brian D. Harrison）与白宫反欺诈工作组的斯科特·布雷迪（Scott Brady）也出席了宣布。HUD此前于6月暂停了洛杉矶住房服务局（LAHSA）的部分资金，9月又在洛杉矶查获涉及1400万美元的欺诈逮捕案。
HUD's Operation Clean House Nets 491 Fugitives Hiding in Subsidized Housing Across 12 Cities
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced on October 8 (Release No. 26-083) that Operation Clean House — a joint effort by HUD's Office of Inspector General, the U.S. Marshals Service and partner agencies — arrested 491 fugitives who were allegedly hiding in HUD-assisted housing, in cases involving outstanding warrants and housing subsidy fraud.
The operation covered 12 cities nationwide, including Los Angeles. Officers targeted people with open arrest warrants who were living in public housing or using housing vouchers, as well as suspects in subsidy fraud.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner said assisted housing is a resource for law-abiding families and should not be a hiding place for fugitives. Acting Inspector General Brian D. Harrison and Scott Brady of the White House anti-fraud task force joined the announcement. HUD had earlier suspended some funding to the Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority (LAHSA) in June, and in September announced fraud arrests in Los Angeles involving $14 million.
