Summary
A new executive order tasks federal regulators with tightening fraud screening and limiting credit lines for undocumented immigrants. Experts say the policy mirrors an alleged plot under the Biden administration to choke crypto firms—and the driving force behind the creation of World Liberty Financial. Critics warn that freezing millions out of the traditional banking system could backfire by benefiting organized crime or provoking future retaliation. On May 19, the president issued an executive order “to restore integrity to America’s financial system.” In the name of national security, the directive tasked federal regulators such as the Treasury Department with considering rules that would tighten oversight on fraud screening and risk mitigation associated with extending services to immigrants who are undocumented.
