U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn, John Cornyn, Tom Cotton, and Ted Budd introduced the Fraud Accountability Act to make fraud a deportable offense. The bill follows reports of massive fraudulent activities in Minnesota and proposes adding fraud to the Immigration and Nationality Act.
The 'Fraud Accountability Act' would designate fraud as a crime resulting in deportation and loss of U.S. citizenship. Sponsored by Sen. Blackburn and Rep. Buddy Carter, the bill responds to a $9 billion fraud scandal in Minnesota involving Somali-run childcare centers and nonprofits.
During Senate floor remarks, Sen. Marsha Blackburn spoke in support of the Fraud Accountability Act. The legislation aims to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to explicitly make fraud a deportable offense and provide tools to denaturalize those who defraud the American people.
