Federal banking regulators have closed a long-standing loophole that allow illegal immigrants borrow money from U.S. financial institutions with little scrutiny of their legal status.<\/p>\n

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) jointly advised that banks \u201cmight consider\u201d requiring customers to produce \u201cevidence of continuing work authorization\u201d and other documentation when assessing whether a borrower can repay a loan. The agencies also directed banks to watch for risky concentrations of lending in \u201cgeographic markets, employers or industries\u201d that could be \u201cdisproportionately affected\u201d by the Trump administration\u2019s expanded immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n

The guidance carries out President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order signed in May, \u201cRestoring Integrity to America\u2019s Financial System,\u201d which sought to cut off illegal immigrants\u2019 access to the U.S. banking system. That order directed the Treasury Department and financial regulators to draft stricter due-diligence standards for verifying customer identities and evaluating loans to people in the country illegally.<\/p>\n

Current federal law does not bar banks from serving illegal immigrants, an omission the administration has moved to address after sustained pressure from supporters of Trump\u2019s deportation agenda, who have pushed the White House to cut illegal immigrants off from the financial system entirely as part of a debanking effort.<\/p>\n

Trump signaled he wants the crackdown to go even further than the executive order. In a Truth Social post last month, he said bank accounts used to \u201cenable\u201d illegal immigration should be shut down and seized outright, though he offered no specifics on how such seizures would be carried out.<\/p>\n

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) reinforced the administration\u2019s approach last month with its own guidance, cautioning banks about the credit risks tied to lending to immigrants who lack legal work authorization.<\/p>\n
