Kiggans Advocates SCAM Act

Congresswoman Jen Kiggans supports the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act after the Old Dominion University attack, where Mohamed Jalloh killed an ROTC instructor.
Kiggans argues the SCAM Act would tighten denaturalization rules for terrorists and, amid the ongoing FBI investigation, boost safety for military families and campus students.
She also seeks to reverse Virginia HB 1930, which bars universities from inquiring about applicants' criminal histories.

Emmer Supports SCAM Act

Tom Emmer, the U.S. House Majority Whip, backs the Stop Citizenship Abuse and Misrepresentation (SCAM) Act to simplify revoking citizenship from naturalized individuals involved in terrorism.
He cites recent terrorist attacks by naturalized citizens as evidence of flaws in U.S. immigration law and emphasizes reform to protect American lives.
The bill would lower denaturalization standards and streamline revocation.
Local activists oppose the measure, arguing conditional citizenship threatens immigrant rights.
