Deporting Fraudsters Act of 2026

Expands immigration rules to bar entry and allow removal of noncitizens who defraud the government or unlawfully receive public benefits. It adds new grounds so that people who commit, admit to, or conspire to commit benefit fraud can be denied visas or green cards and can be deported.

It uses existing federal law definitions of “Federal public benefit” and “State or local public benefit,” so the scope follows current benefit categories and exceptions. It does not create new programs, spend money, or change who is eligible for benefits; it changes immigration consequences for benefit fraud.
