What this bill would do

The Fraud Accountability Act aims to change how fraud offenses are handled regarding immigration status. It seeks to make any alien convicted of a crime involving fraud deportable, regardless of the loss threshold, if the fraud was against a private individual, fund, corporation, or government entity (Section 2). The bill also mandates detention for certain individuals under these expanded rules (Section 3). Additionally, it provides courts with the authority to revoke the citizenship of naturalized United States citizens convicted of specific criminal offenses (Section 4). This includes revoking the order of admission and canceling the certificate of naturalization (Section 4).
