Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2025
This bill adds new grounds for denying entry (inadmissibility) and for deporting non-citizens (deportability) based on fraud against U.S. government programs or unlawful receipt of public benefits. Specifically, it amends immigration law to make individuals inadmissible upon entry or deportable if convicted of, or admitting to, defrauding the U.S. government or unlawfully receiving federal, state, or local public benefits (as defined in existing welfare law). The provision applies to both the fraud itself and conspiracy to commit it. It directly affects non-citizens who have committed these specific offenses, potentially impacting their ability to enter the U.S. or remain in the country.
