Fraud Accountability Act

This bill would make any non-citizen convicted of a crime involving fraud against a person, fund, company, or government deportable, regardless of the dollar amount of the loss. It would require immigration authorities to hold such non-citizens in detention. It would also require any U.S. court that convicts a naturalized citizen of a deportable criminal offense to revoke that person's citizenship and cancel their naturalization certificate at the time of conviction. The citizenship provisions would apply to fraud committed on or after September 30, 1996, if the person was not arrested, charged, or indicted before the law is enacted.
