Fraud Accountability Act
This bill amends U.S. immigration law to make fraud convictions deportable without requiring a specific fraud loss amount. It directly affects non-citizens (aliens) convicted of fraud against private individuals, businesses, or government entities, and naturalized U.S. citizens convicted of such fraud. Key provisions include adding fraud to the list of deportable offenses under Section 237(a)(2) and enabling courts to revoke citizenship and cancel naturalization certificates for naturalized citizens convicted of qualifying fraud offenses. The changes apply to fraud committed on or after September 30, 1996, that wasn’t already charged before the bill’s enactment.
