Some senators are pushing for a bill that would allow felony fraud to become a deportable offense. This is Fox's Bill Malusian, reports from Capitol Hill.
Senator Marsha Blackburn and eight Senate Republican co-sponsors have introduced a new bill called the Fraud Accountability Act. It would change U.S. law to allow naturalized Americans to have their U.S. citizenship stripped away and open them up to deportation if convicted of any kind of felony fraud.
What new tariffs has President Trump announced and why?
The bill is retroactive, covering fraud convictions going back to 1996 against any victim, private, corporate or government. And it changes U.S. law to remove a $10,000 threshold to make fraud a deportable offense. Democrats we talk to think it goes too far.
