What it does
The Fraud Accountability Act would make any alien convicted of fraud—regardless of the amount involved—deportable under immigration law, even if the fraud does not meet the traditional aggravated felony threshold. It also mandates detention for aliens convicted of fraud and grants federal courts concurrent jurisdiction to revoke the citizenship of naturalized U.S. citizens convicted of fraud or other deportable offenses. The bill applies retroactively to fraud committed on or after September 30, 1996, if the individual was not arrested, charged, or indicted before the bill’s enactment.
